Author Topic: so I got a gun pointed at me today :( [da police involved]  (Read 5145 times)

I skipped school today to avoid a fight. Not that I was afraid to fight the friend lol but the consequences. Around 2:00 I was walking down the HS football field road towards SC highway 86. Someone far away yelled,"[my first name here]" and I ignored it. They then yelled,"[my whole name here]." I waited a second then ran into the woods. I was right across from the Wiggington's garage, and some woman saw me run into the woods. I froze and heard her tell someone,"some man just ran into the woods." I didn't know it but they started chasing me, when I got out of the woods I was greeted by four men. One of them yelled,"Stop!" and had a .45 pointed at me. I checked and the gun had a clip on it. I put my hands up, he said get on the ground. So I did, when he got to me, he told the woman to call the police. His finger stayed on the trigger and the gun stayed on me until 5 minutes after the police call ended. Someone said,"they got someone comin," so he put the gun in his pocket, didn't take his hand away 'till the cops arrived though. These guys' thought I was some kind of thief or something Cops got there about 15 minutes later, three cars, one unmarked all from ACSD. A sergeant got out and told me to get up, I got up, he jerked my collar and cuffed me. I totally could've slipped my right hand out cause he didn't shut them well, but I'm not handicapped. He put me in the back of a marked car after searching me. They then took me to the school and rednecks saw me in cuffs and rumors started flowing.

seems like excessive force to pull by your collar + cuff you for not even doing anything
LAWSUIT

Wait what?
They though a boy was a potential robber, so they called the police with no other information but a hunch?
Also that sucks, it will take a while to get rid of the rumors.

My dad beat the crap out of me one time in October I think. There weren't any bruises afaik, but he still did get arrested for domestic abuse. He got out on bail though, but we also got a restraining order on him. He keeps trying to contact us today.

Okay so I left out a part. My dad called the Sherrif's officer because he was worried. I figured, hell it's done and over with now why bother, but he's mad and my mom is pissed.

When I was on the ground, I told him I was skipping school and I could show him where my bookbag was if he'd like. He still kept the gun trained on me.

Last time I got in trouble with the police whether unintentional or not was never. Two years ago there was a prowler in my yard and another time my dog was nearly killed by the neighbors. Another neighbor also let his pitbull and aggressive rottweiler run loose in our yard after repeated warnings.  Those were the only times recently that cops we're needed.

could probably find the opportunity to sue one of the people involved in this
whether it be the man for attacking you, or the police for cuffing you so roughly

but even then, it probably wouldn't work out in your favor, since you were skipping school and all.

You should have never admitted to skipping school. Shoulda claimed your parents called you out. The police woulda called your parents, but if they were smart at all they would have said that they indeed called you out even if they hadn't.

Also, I woulda walked away if some guy pointed a .45 at me. He had no reasoning that you were committing a crime and if he'd shot you he would have gone to jail for a very long time. Even if he was dumb enough to shoot, it's ridiculously difficult to hit a running target.

I am in no trouble with the school at this point, no ISS or anything may I add.

Wow Americans sure are trigger happy.

So what's your condition now? Grounded?

Well, I was more referring to the fact that you wouldn't have been carted back to school in handcuffs.

Wow that seriously sucks

was the guy that wanted to fight you at the school when you got there?

wow so you saw that the gun was loaded? how obvious and irrelevant of a detail to tell us.
