First Artist Busted - The Real Story

Last Saturday, I did a post about Shepard Fairey getting arrested in Boston. Now comes a first hand account of what really went down and a possible explanation of why it happened.

Turns out that Shepard may have been a pawn in a dangerous political game between the Boston police and the Mayor of Boston. A game in which the Boston police may have been attempting to incite a riot.

For the full story from a guy who was in the taxi with Shepard when he got arrested, click here. It's a very interesting account and on the heels of the "Texas pirates" post further displays how badly many police abuse their power.
