I don't have facebook, but there are a few people, who are your typical FB poster type, that other people will send me screenshots of over the top shite some of the people post.

One of these people have called for a boycott of the band Florida Georgia Line because they evidently don't want police in their dressing room. Is this a story of some sort? I guess I never really thought about it, but do bands normally have police in their dressing room?

Makes it hard to rail when the cops are in your dressing room.

They should be boycotted for their shitty, douchey music.

I hope the cops stay as far away from them as possible. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll get shanked in their own dressing room.

Well, you brought it to the OT. I'll let you guess how it will end.

I could see a bodyguard by the door, but according to this person Florida Georgia line isn't having any cops in their dressing room. So he is done with them.

No, but large arena venues typically have some sort of private security to keep unauthorized people away from the "talent".

The part about their music being shitty is fact, though.
No denial will be forthcoming.

Here's the story

Looks like it happened twice - and it was backstage - not just dressing rooms. Sounds like a bunch of confusion.

Well the Police has told me, "I'll be watching you. " something also about Every breath I take and every move I make.

Who would want that?

If I was a famous musician, there sure as shite would not be cops in my dressing room

Not because I don't respect the job cops do, but because I wouldn't want to go to jail for the mountain of Colombian Bambam and gallon size bag of herb.

It's not that hard to figure out why a band/performer may not want LEO in their dressing rooms prior to and after shows

tell your dumb friend that FGL doesn't have anything to do with each venue's security and security's measures taken. This was a misunderstanding that had nothing to do with the band and cops are super sensitive right now.
