(2,571 posts)I am permitted for the park & know the rangers. All is good & I get exercise.
Long story short-I was not holding the leash. Sherriff comes up & starts doing the hand on his gun is that your dog speech. I tried explaining I was permitted and the dog has never been and is obviously not a problem.
He chewed me for 1/2 hour for the offense of asserting my side of the situation. I had to cow-tow & respect his authori-tie because I was starting to realize this fuck was NUTS. Fuming angry over a dog off the leash. And because I had the temerity to talk back he went full ballistic.
I got the distinct feeling if I was in any way confrontational-or black-he would have shot me on the spot.
Bulging veins & likely a steroid abuser was my take-and dangerously psychopathic. And he had a gun & a badge.
He left me scared & frankly afraid to ever ask them for help.
What he did not know is I have been asked by the PD a few times to search for bullets. And I felt good about helping them. Next time I'm so sorry I forgot an appointment.
