I'll see if my friend is still around the Valentine area, that is where he escaped to back then and after this incident he left the big city for good.

Only thing is they altered the press release from the real story... I'm sure so that people don't think they condone that "behavior", they don't want to be liable for a citizen. the suspect was fighting the officer and there were at least 25 people around yelling and throwing stuff. I helped hold the suspect down so the officer could get a free hand and radio for back up. It took about 45 seconds and there were 15 squad cars surrounding the place and they ran up to me with their ARs drawn. This was before I started carrying. I also didn't know it was a shots fired call.

Wow, that was pretty good of you, AWick. I am impressed.

AWick:
I shared that only to show that there is actually good that happens to people. I was indeed lucky that I wasn't injured in that altercation and that I was able to give a very detailed account that matched the officer's account to the "T". They isolated us from each other so that we couldn't "get our story squared away" or mix our experiences or view points before our affidavit.

I really do hope that "Suzie" gets this squared away and look forward to LPD becoming more gun friendly or at least not trying to pin a charge on somebody that in the heat of the moment might not be able to explain why they weren't breaking any laws to begin with, or just flat out ignoring their side of the story... like that will ever happen.

Allan! You big dummy! I've known you for quite awhile, yet never knew this! I am seriously impressed Sir! Let me know when you're ready and I'm buying you lunch. Again, very impressive :)

Good luck to you Susie...
