(748 posts)I have had a police firearm pointed at me at close range in the middle of the night.
Backed out of my driveway at 1 am like every day for 10 years...turn on my headlight's
and proceed to the end of the block where an Adam's county deputy flew around the corner
stopped his vehicle got and pointed his firearm at my face. Dark window tint rolled down
as I was doing that anyway when I saw him stop. I was going to ask if there was danger
and should I go back home when the gun was in my face and he was visibly shaking.
Good thing I had pooped before I left the house or it would have happened right there.
Some thing was happening I said hey wait I'm just going to work...to which he replied
Why were you driving with no light's on like the gang banger's do? I said I wasn't...and that
I had just pulled out of my driveway to go to work...he asked with gun pointing down at my
door instead of my head.....I don't turn on my light's right away because I don't want my
decent neighbor's waking up with me every night I go to work....than he waved his gun
dismissively and I went to work calling my wife to tell her to stay inside because she would
follow to work an hour later. I was one inch away from a very twitchy...scared... cop
who was to scared to do his job w/o intimidation and recklesnes.
