similar situation:
TRUE STORY: This happened to me back in July in CA.
I drive home after work, and pull into my driveway and a 11 year Black
Kid comes up to me crying. He tells me that the "Children of Corn" from
next door were calling in racial names and threatening
to beat him up. He asked me to tell them to stop.(Now mind you, their
parents are not home, and I have 3-4 children in my front yard listening
to this.) I see the kids next door in their driveway, and go over
tell them politely( I am being completely truthful on this) that if they
are making threats that it could very well be construed as a hate crime
and Sheriff will be called and left it at that.
About (2) hours later, my daughter runs into the house, saying that 2
sheriffs cars just pulled up in front of our house, so I go outside to
see what is going on, and they come up onto my driveway with their
gun hand on their pistol. And ask me what is going on? I say "nothing
that I am aware of" and say "yes you do, care to explain why we are
here" Me: "No idea". Now I have my hands in front of me and I
am wearing cargo shorts, T-shirt and flip flops and having a smoke. The
Lead deputy, says " Do you have some ID on you?" and I pull out my
creds and badge and identify myself to them, and they
instantly power down. They proceed to tell me that the "Children of the
Corn" next door told mommy that I drew down on them with a gun and felt
scared, so when mommy got home several hours later
she called 911. And I did identify myself to the children next door, and
they know what I do, I just do not wear a regular uniform to work, just
5.11s and a polo.
MORAL of STORY: This could have gone to Full Ugly in seconds, because
some tweeker makes bullshit allegations on the phone, and the deputies
do not know who I am, they just get a "man with a gun"
call. Luckily I was not armed and wearing cloths that did very little
to conceal a handgun. I am just thankful I did not get my ass beat, and
taken to jail or shot, having kids in the yard playing helped the
situation out some. Plus I did not go Full Retard on the cops with attitude or mutherfucking them.
Just remember, shit can happen to you no matter what.
