...and not only am I a huge and heavy white guy in his briefs, I also have my choice of laser light, flash light or disco light on the shotgun....hell. I just realized-I'm a show unto myself!!!!....You're my hero!
I'd have to ask why. It's one thing for a cop to say "Get yourself home, you don't want to be on the streets right now" and then give a reason why (whether prompted or not). It's another when they just say that much and nothing more, then expect everyone to leg it indoors.
Obviously there's a need to stay safe and leave the cops to it, hence the brevity of the exchange, but there's also the potential for an abuse of power, up to imposing what amounts to a curfew or even martial law.
Either way, if there's a hostage situation going on somewhere, the cops should really only prevent you from entering the area. If there's a random wandering nutjob around, why didn't they send cars around telling people to stay in their houses and lock doors and windows? What's more, in that situation should a cop really leave you to walk back home alone?
And of course you're doing nothing wrong just by enquiring about the nature of the threat seeing as you're there and exposed already. Providing a basic level of information also prevents 'Chinese Whispers' starting up and potentially causing a panic over nothing.
Good day today. No cops and k9s lol.Is all well? Still doing ok?
