Is anyone else getting tired of watching the cops snatch people all weekend? They're not just enforcing the fire ban. Saw them grabbing people for pulling out zip lock bags. Been seeing them tear through camp on their Polaris looking for anyone doing any drugs.

It feels like they're being hyper aggressive. I've been to plenty of festivals with heavy police presence but they were never this rude, aggressive, and unprofessional. They're acting like a bunch of thugs.

I support the fire ban. Totally fair to ticket people for burning stuff. But creating a hostile environment and tackling people for rummaging through their backpack at the cinema at 2:30am isn't keeping anyone safe.

I hope they pick a new venue next year. Buena Vista doesn't feel safe to party in.

If anyone has an extra wristband to Field of Vision in Colorado, I'm hoping to snag one more for my friend who came to visit the states last minute. Since it's a physical wristband and I'm in Chicago I figured I'd post here as well.

Thanks!
