Reply #10: I had a cop pull a gun on me. [View All]

It's kind of a long story. Here is the brief version:
I wasn't who he thought I was, which was a guy who had just robbed a convenience store.
the description of the guy's car was roughly like mine.
I was dumb enough -- this was a long time ago - to get out of my car with my hands in my jacket pockets.
"Get your hands on the car," he said. I complied, with haste.
"Who the hell are you? What the hell are you doing here?"
" I work here! I was just going home from work!"
which was the truth.
he got back in his squad car and didn't even write me a ticket for going down the alley the wrong way, which we all did late at night and what i thought he had stopped me for in the first place.

they say people who get robbed often can't give a very good description of their assailand because the victim's eyes tend to lock on the gun. oh, they can describe the gun all right but the guy who was holding it could have been Pee Wee Herman or Al Haig.

It's true. at least in my case, it was true. i couldn't tell you what that cop looked like.
