My buddy did this one time. Ended up stuffing a can of tuna into his pocket without thinking and then got arrested because they thought he robbed the convenience store and killed the clerk, but it was actually someone else just in a very similar car. Gotta be careful.
He said something too about that there was some old lady that needed news glasses and she got confused and thought he looked like the guy that had shot the clerk.
Robbed the convenience store and killed the clerk…over a can of tuna?
I’m not sure I could call myself a good police officer at that point. I’m not sure I’d think I was cut out for the job of even defining ‘criminals’ at that point.
It’s hard to tell if your chances of getting shot by the cops is part of the internet being an echo chamber or if it really is a thing we live with. Regardless, I avoid the interaction with law enforcement and bring the dog in if they happen to be combing the area. An American Bull Terrier on my street named Queenie actually got shot and survived.
When I was a teenager, a cop drawed on me and my friend. As I pulled into my friends driveway the cop turned on his lights and parked behind my car. Didn’t notice until we were getting out, so the cop drawed his pistol, pointed it at us and yelled for us to get back in the car (was “pulled over” for speeding).
I’ve also been woken up by police carrying AR-style rifles during a raid (not for me, for my previous roommate).
No, roommate was out on bail for a pretty serious crime. Detectives found out some stuff during investigation, so judge revoked bail, and gave police a no-knock warrant to retrieve him.

I hate it when I have to commit murder for my tuna.
Bro, it wasn’t him! They looked similar and even drove similar looking cars!
You can’t make those marks without positraction, which was not available on the '64 Buick Skylark

Sounds like their lawyer was dead on balls accurate.
I guess, took him five tries to pass the bar.

That last one…did you all get SWATTED?

Hopefully you’ve made better friends. ✌️
