Yes, I’ve been arrested before. There’s really nothing to it. Sometimes, all you have to do is step off a curb during an action and you get hauled off. It depends on the cop, the mood of the crowd and all other sorts of sundry elements.
One time I walked with Coleman during an action and a cop actually tailed us for 7 blocks. We tried losing him at one point. But every time we turned around there was the same guy, undercover of course. Coleman finally turned around and asked the guy what he wanted.
“Hey you lousy mother… Are you trying to hit on me or something? I got my girl here, get lost.”
It was the only time I ever allowed Coleman to call me his girl. But I’m not his girl, so don’t go thinking I am.
Coleman was arrested that day. For some reason, I got left behind.
