Takedown

Posted by: Blue

This past Sunday, while on evening shift, the Sergeant gave us an early leave to go for wings and a brew.

The four of us had a round of each and then headed off home.

Unbeknownst to us, three blocks away was a shooting just as we were leaving.

The suspect vehicle was described as a black Dodge Ram.

One of my shift-mates was driving a dark blue Chevy Silverado.

The helicopter picked him up on camera and sicced the night shift crew on him.  He was followed all the way accross the city to a few blocks away from home where he was taken down in a high-risk traffic stop.  Guns drawn, keys out the window, proned-out on the ground, whirlybird circling the entire time.

It was all the talk at Monday shift briefing.  He didn't think it was as funny as we did.
