Intersting Goings On
Category: Life

So, I was in the downstairs bathroom and came out and noticesd all this flashing of red and blue out front. I took a look and there was a cop that apparently had a white truck pulled over.

I came upstairs and turned off my light ( ;) ) and sat in to watch fully expecting a ticket to change hands and then this brief drama to end. suddenly to my surprise the guy in the truck yells "I'm going!" (This yelled loud enough for me to hear through my closed window). Apparently the cop took umbridge at this and kicked (don't ask me how he did this, even though I watched it I can't tell you) the truck door opened and roused the guy out. He had the guy facing his own truck. Apparently words were exchanged bcause the cop discharged his weapon into the guy. Now remember the guy is still facing his truck, away from the cop.

There was a loud POP and I thought "Holy shit he shot him!" There was a pause, (long enough for me to think the above) then the guy fell down and I noticed the wires that were leading from the weapon to the guy. I suddenly realized that the guy had been tazed. The guy yelled (but not nearly as loud as before) "What did you do that for?" Apparently the cop answered (though this is only a guess on my part) and the guy laid there for a few moments until another cruiser pulled up. He was cuffed, an ambulance pulled up and the emt looked him over, they took him to one of the cars (where presumably he still is, they are still out there as I write this). I'll write more if anything else interesting develops, but I think that this little story has unfolded as far (for me any way) as it is going to.

Now the rest:

Well as you know from a previous blog, I saw an altercation between the police and a civilian outside my window. Well, somehow I seem to have gotten swept up in this little drama, they (the party of the civilian (who happens to live across the street from me)) wants me as a witness. I would probably make a completely useless witness had I not blogged about this the moment after it was done.

So today I get to troop down to downtown (and you know how much I love downtown) to do an interview with a lawyer. Yay.
