Loud you say?! Ha ha ha! My goodness. We’ll have to look into this. A ha! I see what’s wrong with it! Why, this watch is full of wheels!

A cop pulled a gun on me and my friend as we left a bar. Then a 2nd cop pulled a gun on my friend. Lucky for me though, cute police officer put handcuffs on me.

You don't just say "so, I had a gun pulled on me today" and not give us backstory.

:lol: It was about 2 or so in the morning when I posted that. But here is the story:

It was me and then it was my friend Sebastian. We've been hanging out and drinking in this bar for just about all night. We decided that we should go out and get some air and we start walking down the street. As we were about to turn the corner, a cop comes out of nowhere in the flashlight/gun position and yelling at us to get on the ground. My first reaction as a somebody that has been drinking was," What's with the gun man?". Then another cop showed up with his gun out and started to yell for us to get on the ground with the arms laid out.

We immedialty hit the ground and were handcuffed on the spot. They sit us up and have the two guns pointed to my friend while I was paying more attention to the female officer who put the cuffs on me. For about 5 minutes they had the guns out while my friend proceeded to inquire as to what the fuck is going on while I was just paying attention to the female officer and really just couldn't stop laughing.

At the end of this time, an officer with an M4. I am not joking that the officer had this:Image around the front side of his body. He immediatly recongized that my friend was not in fact a gang member and that the only lead they had was a guy with a ponytail which he had.

They then proceeded to tell us about how its their job and they didn't know whether he is the person who was in question or not. I got to be honest though and admit that I couldn't stop laughing by this time. I just wanted to know why they had guns on us. So they told us that the suspect who had a ponytail apperantly threatened somebody with a gun. It all made sense by now and they let on our way.

I always wondered what I would do if someone pulled a gun on me and apparently if I am state of inebriation, its laughing.

There was an article on NPR about "blerds" aka "Black nerds". I said to my wife, "Well that's rather stupid to stereotype yourself. It borders on being racist". To which she replied "It can't be racist if it is on NPR".
