So I was in the drive-thru at KFC yesterday...

the more I think about it guns have almost killed me far more often than they've helped save my life.  I almost got blown away by the waterford police department in 2002.  It was the most fucked up, scary, confusing thing to ever happen to me.  

We were shooting a scene for my friends movie (he was a film major at NYU) and in the scene I was this mobster like dude stealin some stuff.  the whole entire scene was a far away shot of me punching this kid in the face and then walking towards mike's car (the director shooting) as they drove off.  

Some old lady called the cops saying some man in a black suit (me) was shooting people and robbing the restaurant we were shooting in front of (which we had permission from).

So about 10-12 cop cars all roll up at almost the same exact time.  It was like a mini-version of heat or something when they rolled up.  they swerved in opened their doors, cocked their shotguns and pulled their pistols.  All locked and loaded pointed directly at me.  

It was me, the dude I had to punch, and mike's brother just standing around when they pulled up.  They started shouting "WHERE'S THE FUCKING GUN!" "WHERE'S THE GUN!" and I was like "What? Gun? uh.. I have a toy gun in my bag".  by this time when I'm saying this to the cops I'm standing in the parking lot with my hands up with every cop in the township pointing their loaded gun directly at me.  after they got up close to us they threw us against the wall.  threw mike's brothers phone against the wall like fucking dickheads.  

then when mike got back from the 2 second drive by scene he had no idea what was going on.  they kept threatening him with citations and shit but in the end none of us got anything pinned against us.  they're lucky I didn't sue the fuck out them or something.  I almost shit my pants.  The ridiculous part is they said we need a permit or to at the very least call and let the police department know we were going to be filming.  we thought alright fine whatever we'll call you next time.  so we did and they told us we couldn't shot the film so we did it anyway.  Cops fucking suck.  Guns fucking suck.  The combination is one of the worst social ideas in the history of mankind.

I agree with you, a lot of cops are huuuuge dicks, but as soon as I was reading the 2nd paragraph of your story I thought to myself "probably should have informed the police department." It sounds like the cops who responded were total dickheads though. People always bitch about how unsafe guns are. Guns are safe, people are not. #1 rule of gun safety is always treat every gun like it is loaded, always, no matter what. There's nothing wrong with guns, only some of the people who wield them, unfortunately.

yeah probably it was the summer after I graduated, we were younger it was a short scene. oh well, it was kinda the director dudes fault.

I learned it on the streets and from this movie.

I have an "almost shot by the cops" story, too.  It goes like this...

So I was going to the bank to cash a check and it's raining cats and dogs.  I get there and start (over)thinking how I'm going to get myself and my check in the bank as dry as possible.  So I put my hood from my hoodie on tight and I stick my hand with my check under my hoodie.  Then I make a mad dash for the bank entrance.  When I get there the door won't open and I'm all like "what the fuck" and start shaking it violently.  Then I look up and there's a sign that says something like "closed temporarily for security purposes".  Then I look to my right and see a cop with his gun pointed right at me and realize that I look like a fucking bank robber.  I slowly pulled the check from out under my hoodie and mumbled something like "I'm just a customer". He waved me out of the way and I got back into my car.  That would have been a really dumb way to get shot.

trigger happy police with too much power.  If you ask me they need non-lethals on the street and that's it.  some of those rubber bullets, tazers/stun gun, and mace.  maybe a shotgun in the car just in case. We over arm our police.

187? Come on now, I did grow up in the 90's in the height of gangster rap. That's like saying I didn't watch Salute Your Shorts. Yeah, one day I was gangster, the next day I was just a kid.

Thought about posting Snoop and Dre's Deep Cover video.  8-)

still a classic.  I'm impressed he still had the balls to finish his speech after he got shot on the extended version.

[dcdub]

I can't understand what he's saying, but I'm assuming its something about gun safety. If my assumption is correct, that is awwwwwesommmme!

[el_chode]

I did that once when I was teaching a course on Laser Harp safety

The laser harp'll gitchya, watch out
