"Gimmie a couple of minutes to coral the dogs and the gate will open."
"So what's the problem deputy?" As a second cruiser rolled into the drive.
"Y'all don't need to stand out in the rain come on up on the porch."
"We got a complaint that truck ran someone off the road and blew a loud air horn!" Now it is all I can do at this point to not laugh out loud.
"That would be my daughter driving the rig." "She's around here somewhere," and I call her on the cell.
Now I know damn well my daughter would not have behaved as indicated without just cause and my bride had been with her when she recently returned from the vets office with three horses in the trailer. You don't just stop a forty foot trailer because some goob pulls out in front of you, push comes to shove you hit the offender while easing onto the brakes.
"Hey kiddo, there's a couple of deputies here want to talk to you." "I'm busy at the stable, send them up here." That's my fierce little girl all 100lbs of her. So the deputies slog several hundred yards out to the stable while I bring the wife up to speed and send her after them. I'm the last one to get the story.
Local fellow was tending the roadside memorial to his son who had been killed as a pedestrian very recently. Perhaps overcome by tears or emotion he had pulled out onto the road and encountered my daughter and about 9 tons of rolling inertia. Transference of those emotions onto the great big speeding rig that ran him off the road and blew a loud horn at him resulted in the call to 911.
Had coffee ready for the deputies as they slogged back from the stable and we sat on the porch while they brought me up to speed on the events. Meanwhile the friends and family of the deceased rolled back and forth in front of my property. The deputies said they would report back to the 911 caller and I said I would contact him myself in a day or two. I spent the night on high watch and armed. Contacted the 911 caller later and we are friends now. Pretty daughter went on a date or two with the younger deputy.

Exactly. Why don’t these cops shoot at the real animals running wild in our streets instead of pets?
The average person is now the target and the violent criminals do as they please.
cause pets don't shoot back...
Those cops have to go home sometime. I don't advocate it, but others might lie in wait for when they do go home for payback. Coming soon… cops living in barracks because they fear going home. Seems like lots of cops no longer serve and protect the public; people now fear cops, and soon cops will fear the people (again, I'm not advocating it, just stating the obvious outcome).
Having thugs burst into my notice is not outside my experience.
Situations can come unglued only with participation of all of the involved participants. Step out of the ring and seize the high cover.
Cop could have crashed the gate, or detailed several deputies to sneak in and accost me. The dogs would have told me of the sneak, the result would have been my self defense.. "Y'all don't have to stand out in the rain", is an appropriate response to an over eager kid playing at being an authority.
Oh noes! A dog is *barking* at me. Whatever will I do?
</sarcasm>
Kill it!
Kill it with fire!!!
...and dogs can’t file multi-million dollar “profiling” lawsuits.
100%
Dogs sense Evil.
