Lately in the news, it's pretty clear that people don't like us. They also don't like going to jail. When you put the two together you can realize just how dangerous our job really is.
Tuesday an officer on the other squad went to a criminal trespass call at a house. The caller stated a black female was refusing to leave the house. When the officer arrived at the house he encountered not a problem with the female but with her boyfriend. The boyfriend went to a back room and retrieved a pistol and fired three shots from within the room. The officer requested assistance from additional units and just about everyone came. The officer gathered the family members out of the house while the suspect ran into the basement. We figured we had a pretty good perimeter set up but the man wasn't in the basement when we checked. We secured a larger perimeter around the house and even called in the air unit to check for the male from the sky. Sadly, the perp got away but the fortunate part is that the officer was ok. The suspect will just get caught another day-they always do.
Yesterday was much slower for me however. The most exciting thing for me was a suspicious male banging on doors of various hair salons without trying to get in. Nobody would pay enough attention to see where the man went because they were afraid of him. I kept getting the call but he was never there. Just chasing ghosts....
