If you didn't see on the social networks regarding this post about some kids in downtown Tampa I saw yesterday getting stopped by police, here's the story:

Pretty amazing story these kids have. It's not what you expect. They're just getting stopped by police because they matched a description of some sketchy graffiti vandals. They're not getting skateboard tickets. Even better, they got stopped by police earlier when only two out of the three of them had skateboards. The cop pulled two boards out of his trunk and let the kid without a board have one. Wow. It's nice to run into some good ones every now and then. Thanks TPD.
