Thursday’s little Incident sparked several posts to the neighborhood association listserv, beginning when someone asked “Does anyone have any details concerning the disturbance around the **** block of **** at around 6:00 yesterday afternoon? For anyone that is not aware there were 5 police vehicles surrounding a home on the corner and helicopters flying overhead.” Two or three others added what they’d seen, and some other ill-informed yahoo bloviated about “welcome to the third-world police state model.” Finally, the police department’s liaison to the association posted this:
“The call was initially a suspicious subject. Then it went to subjects on roof of the house with rifle. The air unit was providing info to officers on the ground. It turned out the rifle was a pellet gun. In the end two of three subjects were arrested. When guns are involved we don’t rush in; we set up a perimeter till it can be determined how to handle or to call SWAT (if time permits). That is about all I can say on the matter for now.”
Awwwwwwwwwwww . . . poor dumb rich kiddies with their BB gun, stirred up a mess o’ trouble for themselves ’cos they couldn’t be bothered to use what brains they have.
