All handcuffs having the same key was actually utilized at stonewall. The leather folks took cabs over when they learned of the riot and started using their handcuff keys to free arrested people who were left alone

Every new fact I learn about Stonewall makes me respect the people who were involved even more.

The handcuffs on the people sitting on the curb are free. You can just unlock them and keep them.
