I waved a gun in a cops face......

[Bob Saget]

Last night around 11PM my Grand Cherokee decided to strand me at the gas station right down the road from home (turns out the battery was gone). I was only 1/4 mile from home, & it was freezing, so I decided just to walk home & mess with it in the morning. This particular gas station is part of a grocery store, so I walked in & notified the manager on duty I had to leave my Jeep at the pump until the AM. He said no problem & he'd leave the 3rd shift stock crew a note.

So I get home, work on homework, & surf the web until 2:30AM or so..... after that I was out. Around 3:56AM I am startled & wake up. I share a townhouse with 3 friends, all 3 were upstairs asleep, I have the downstairs room. Without turning on any lights, I walk upstairs, everything seems fine & they're all out. Walk back downstairs, get in the bed, & no sooner than I get comfortable I hear someone walking around outside my window. I roll over & there's a flashlight shining in my window. I reached under the mattress, grabbed my Glock 27 .40, then stuck my S&W BodyGuard .380 in my waistband & walked upstairs. I heard someone walking on the back porch & saw another flashlight at the front door. I went over to the corner of the living room so that I could see out the window to the driveway & the front porch. What do I see? No vehicles in the driveway, yard, or along the road. However, I do see a man wearing a black toboggan & dark colored sweater standing on my front porch with a flashlight. Next thing I know he starts knocking on the door. I opened the solid oak door just enough to show this dude my shiny Glock 27. Next thing I know he's screaming deputy something & pulls his gun yelling police. At this point I'm relieved I'm not getting robbed, but I'm still shaking because I have two cops with pistols drawn standing on my porch. The other guy that came around had on a uniform, so I put my gun down on the floor so they'd calm down. They then inquired as to why I had two pistols on me & a 10G shotgun in the hallway. I simply replied, "Because that bullshit ya'll just pulled scared the fuck out of me."

Turns out 3rd shift never got the note about my Jeep & called the police about my vehicle being parked their. The cops were just coming by to make sure everything was okay...turns out they have 3 homicides this month with no leads...2 of the victims vehicles were found abandoned in parking lots.

Anyway, just a note to the sheriff's office..... Don't park your police vehicles 3 houses down, have on black clothing, & walk around someones house @ 4AM with flashlights peeking in doors/windows. Scared the shit out of me & liked to have got me shot. IMO they should have parked in the driveway with the blue lights on or waited until the morning. I think I'm going to have a talk with the sheriff's office about their tactics...

Seeing a dude dressed in black shine a flashlight in your windows at 4AM isn't cool. And I'm not gonna lie, it scared the living shit out of me. But I grabbed the .40 & .380 & prepared to defend myself, friends, & home. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/viking2.gif.35c13a457368016b956ccf693af31291.gif

Are you guys trolling, or just that dumb? Besides the fact that I never want to kill another human being, I don't wanna get gunned down by cops or locked up for life either.

I mean, why the hell were they walking around shining flashlights in the windows instead of simply knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell? And why was the one officer not in uniform? He could have easily been mistaken for a burglar and shot by a paranoid person.

Well, an unidentified person is prowling around in the yard in the middle of the night. Some people dont play that shit. Some people would shoot first ask questions later. Not that I would have shot anyone. But if I were scared for my life...I might take out a knee or something before realizing it was a police officer in your situation.

I understand them checking things out immediately, given the circumstances of the recent crimes, but their approach sucked.

If they would have pulled these tactics at my dad's house the local sheriff's department would be short two deputies. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

i'm a pretty paranoid person that was taught to shoot first ask questions later....
