My Taser works!

So I'm pretty tired and didn't want to post but I figure thats a lame excuse cause I can sleep when I'm dead right? Started out the day by going down to the cop shop...I won't name names here but its the only one in the area...the dept went to a new gun a few months back the new Glock 21 slim frame....great gun..I was worried about transitioning to the new style holster we are carrying so I ordered our old style....a few months back I got a whole set of nylon gear for myself...advantages and disadvantages to leather vs nylon but ultimately I decided I just like my leather gear...somethin about that squeek sound it makes...makes me all warm inside...ha. So I had this nylon holster of the old style.

I was worried about the transition because I'd only ever used the old style for all my firearms training and I had nightmares about switching to the new style and getting in a gun fight trying to draw my old holster with negative results....high stress equals using your lizard brain....muscle memory. Long story short I exchanged my old holster for the new style one and I think I'm gonna love it...it will take some getting used to but all n all I think its a better system....to boot they actually had one in stock which is just short of a miracle in and of itself.

Shift started out pretty normal but right out the gate I got a dui call...citizen called in a dui regarding a truck that was all over the roadway....I was way out of position so I just cleared the call.....it was heading into a neighboring city so advised that city of the situation and they found the truck.

The officer actually knew the suspect and knew this guy was trouble from previous contacts so he asked for backup so I headed over there....I got on scene and the guy was a major adam henry as they say...short for a.h....or asshole. Called me every name in the book and the other Officer too....said that I worked for such and such agency cause its bottom of the barrell and apparenltly the guy has seen my penis cause he thinks its small and he also apparentley thinks I go home and beat my wife. Yeah i know nice guy. Well the officer goes to put him into cuffs and he isnt having any of it.

The guy had a cut on his hand that was bleeding from work he said. He tried smearing his blood on the arresting officer and tensed up...he turned around and got in a fighting stance and started clenching his fists and continued to mouth off...get your fuckin hands off of me etc etc.....well we tried cuffin him again and he just wasnt having it so BLAM I hit him with my taser that I had drew from its holster while he had been mouthing off......that seemed to do the trick cause he stiffened up like a board and well the electricity assisted him to the ground....he got to ride the lightning for the full 5 second cycle. Then he started to fight again so he got 2 more rides...apparentley liked it that much. Well we got him into cuffs and my sarge showed up......the dude immediately ripped into sarge threatening him "YOUR MINE" HE SAID.....he didn't look to bad ass with cuffs on and dirt in his face etc......continued to be mouthy all the way to the jail spitting at us and just generally didn't get the program......I called the jail ahead of time for a welcome home party as they say...thats when about 10 gigantic corrections guards meet us at the door to welcome their new resident.....he kind of shut up after that.

The crazy old dude and a gun: Went to a disturbance at a casino....2 guys fighting...one guy took off. Got on scene and the suspect was goa. Victim said that he had double parked his car behind this old guy so he could run in and try and find his lost cell phone....well other dude was like 75 years old rightfully didn't like being blocked in by this guy. They argue..then old dude goes to his car and reaches underneth the seat and holds something behind his leg.....guy never actually saw a gun but the guy was inplying that he had one......well old guy gets back in his car and basically runs the guy over backing up.......went out to the old guys house...got his address from a license plate.....I go there and the guy is naked minus a shirt. I put him in cuffs and he freaked a little in the car saying he was clausterphobic....so I let him stand outside..he was very thankful...due to his old age though and medical problems we knew we would have a hard time geting him cleared for jail so we ended up catch and releasing him and we will let the prosecutor try and charge him.

Pipe bomb: no 911 calls about any loud explosions or anything...came out that security needed a malicious mischief report cause a firework had damaged the property.....I get on scene and that was no firecracker...it was a huge good quality IED pipe bomb type explosive...had alsmot destroyed the huge metal exterior security door.....crazy. Lots of evidence and paperwork with that one.

The rest of the night was spent filling out paperwork on those 3 things basically.
