I'm just going to put this out there. Suffer the consequences, take responsibility for my actions.
Unload my soul.
Thursday, I killed a man.
It wasn't pretty. It was a slow, likely painful
death. First shot right in the chest...but as I aimed and kept shooting
the gun dropped on each following shot. After the chest shot he was
still standing and he still had his gun pointed right at me. So I shot
him through one of his wife-beater encased love handles then smack dab
in the middle of his thigh. He must have been on meth because he kept
staring unbelievingly at me, and aiming his blasted gun at my face. Like
he was shocked I could actually do it. Finally, I hit him with a few
gut shots.
It was him or me.
When it was all over
my hands shook a bit as I handed in the Glock. I hurried back to safety
so quickly I forgot some important paperwork. On the other hand, &
was fist-bumped into the good ole boys club. She nailed every shot in a
nice tight, controlled manner. Her guy didn't linger. Oh, no. Of course,
she would've been in big trouble for the nice shooting had he really
been flesh and blood since she stopped him in his tracks with one
well-aimed squeeze of the trigger. Her trainer said she was the best
shot of the night (well, at the time she was and there were only a few after her, had to throw in that
disclaimer). She even went back for a few more rounds with the police
assault rifle. Nailed it. AGAIN.
This coming week we get to put into play some of
the sweet information we received during the past ten weeks of Citizen's
Police Academy. We will get a call into a tense and unknown situation
and will get to involve ourselves in a domestic disturbance reenactment.
Information of great importance as stressed last week. Secure the
location, assess the need for medical assistance and make that call, and
separate domestic partners from each other.
Other helpful information.
Never become a close talker even if someone is whispering their little
heart out. Close talkers can lose their gun and their life. Never let
someone sit where they may have stashed something that could be used as a
weapon. And always make sure your back is not exposed to someone who
may have access to a baseball bat.
I'm sure I'll do just great. What could go wrong? Besides, I've got a sharp-shooter as a partner.
