It wasn't like that. No, man. Not at all.
What do you mean?
It happened pretty fast. It wasn't like I had time to think about it or anything. Besides, by the time I saw it, I was gassed. I don't know that I've ever been so spent. Have you ever been in something like that before? Like, that long?
You should've shot him. You could've and no one would've ever questioned you. Plus, he was white, right? I saw the booking photo and he looked kinda white. Anyways, if a dude did something like that to me..
No! Don't even start. It's not like I couldn't. Or wouldn't. I would've. Believe me, I really would've. I don't know why that's everyone's first reaction, though. It almost makes me wish I had shot him, just to shut people up. It's just... It's hard to explain.
I dunno. I would've shot him the second I saw it. You wouldn't see me jumping at him like a friggin' idiot. Hey, turn right here! Yeah, this street here. This is where I saw that guy the other day.
Which guy?
That kid I was telling you about. The one parked on the corner near the playground, taking pictures.
Oh, yeah. The weirdo guy. What did he look like again?
Umm... he wasn't that old, but definitely an adult. He had glasses and looked sort of geeky, actually. Oh, right there! There he is.
That one? The red Civic?
Yeah. Hey, pull around that way. No. Over around there. Yeah. Good, good. I wanna get a look at him. I bet he has his phone again.
Ok. I'll slow down a little.
Yup. I knew it! That motherfucker has his phone again. Park right over there. There. If you pull around the school a little bit, there's a spot in the parking lot. I was sitting there the other night and I don't think anyone could see me.
Ok. How about here? What do you think? This good?
Yeah. I'm trying to... Ok. Yeah. I can see him now. I can't really tell what he's doing... I can't see his hands. Here. Take these. Let me know if you have a better angle.
Umm... ok. Yeah. I can see him. I can't really tell if he's taking pictures... but he definitely has his phone up. Bah! It's hard to say, Tommy. He's gotta be, though, right?. What do you think?
I think we go talk to him.
Yeah. Let's go.
How are you today, sir? The reason why we're... Ah! Fuck. Fuck.
Gun! Drop it! Drop it! Drop the fucking gun!... Tommy! Tommy, look at me. Tommy. Tommy! HQ, I need rescue ASAP. Officer down. Officer down! Officer involved shooting. Start me one for the suspect, too.
