Have you ever had a cop point a gun at you?
Sometimes I think back on 5 or 6 years ago when I got surrounded by a bunch of cops aiming guns at me. It feels crazy to think back on but somehow I stayed super calm in that situation. I often think about how badly that could've gone especially when I see stuff on the news about another unarmed minority being killed by police.
It's a long story & I don't wanna bore everyone but it was past 5am & I was on my way to pick up groceries for breakfast with a homie. I cut somebody off in traffic by accident so the car started following me. I made a few turns just to make sure I wasn't imagining things but yeah that car was definitely following me. So I pulled over.
A dude hopped out the passenger seat & came up to my window talking shit. He was telling me to get out of the car. I laughed & started opening my door to get out (because younger me was always ready for a fight). He immediately backed down saying, "oh it's like that? Nah fuck that" then he jumped back in the car & took off quick.
I had a bad feeling so instead of going to the store like we planned, I turned around & started heading back home. I saw a cop pass by in front of me & something in my gut told me to hurry up & get home. I didn't wanna speed so I drove casually to my sister's apartment around the corner. I turned into a different parking lot because I just had this feeling a cop was lurking somewhere nearby.
Sure enough, a cop pulled out in front of me as I was exiting the parking lot. He jumped out & halfway ducked behind his SUV door while pointing a gun at me. He started yelling for us to put our hands out of the window so we did. The homie started freaking out but I told him to chill.. we had no guns, no drugs, no alcohol, nothing illegal or incriminating in the car plus we did nothing wrong. I felt calm only because I was confident that we did nothing wrong 🤷
The cop sat there for another minute or two before more cops started pulling up pointing guns at us. In the end there were about 10 cops aiming at us with handguns, a shotgun, & an AR-15.
While I sat there waiting, that same guy I cut off in traffic who tried following me.. he slowly drove by pointing at me while laughing.
The cops approached my car & pulled me out, put me on the ground. Same to the homie. They started questioning if we had a gun on us & I simply said no & told them to search my car. They were like "oh so we have your permission to search your car?" & I said "yeah go ahead" because I knew they wouldn't find anything. They tore my car apart which kinda pissed me off but they eventually came back & told us they found nothing. Then they explained that the reason they stopped us was because someone flagged them down & told them I pulled out a gun on them 🤦 I immediately knew it was that same dumbass who tried following me.
Then the cop said the couple who accused me... Wal Mart has them on video stealing (we were in the Wal Mart parking lot when this happened... Which also explains everything 😂). So the cops were currently placing them under arrest while letting me go. I sooo badly wished I could see that dumbass again so I could point back at him & laugh 😅
It still bugs me that so many cops were basically forming an army against me for nothing but I get it 🤷 I wasn't really mad. I just think back sometimes like "oh shit, one wrong move & they would've killed me" 😶
