Troubles

I was walking on my way back to the bus station (New York port authority) after a short stroll and dining at the restaurant selling Liang pi, the bites of Xi’an, (yesterday I went to the xi’an famous foods). A black man was screaming he’s got no id. And several police officers surrounded him. In this traditional street harassment scene the tension of race gestate under the cover of official businesses. The black man abruptly left the spot. The police officers followed him. It looked like a troublesome scene of mental illness and homelessness. I kept on walking and came back to the bus station. What was going on? Was it just happening to be one of the random days. They also barricaded the inside of the bus station. I’m assuming it’s for the World Cup. Etc.
