SWAT team rolled by my house yesterday
I had just jumped in my truck to run two streets down, and I got a half block from my house when I see this military truck, but black, coming over the hill, with about 15 guys on the top, and hanging from the sides of the truck. As you can imagine I was kind of startled, and initially thought there was some kind of military drill or something, but then all kinds of crazy scenarios rolled through my head, lol. So one of the guys hanging off the truck waves me off the road, so I pull to the side, and see about seven cop cars, an armored van, and a few other government vehicles follow the truck over the hill, and as the first truck comes closer, I see that they are all wearing black, and while I can't make out the letters in white on their torsos, I know they are SWAT. The scariest thing was they were each carrying what looked like semi-automatic guns as they rolled about three feet from where I sat in my driver's seat.
My son was watching my little ones at my house, so I whipped around, went home and locked my kids and I up in the house. There was a chopper circling overhead, a fire engine, tons more cops by this point, and it occurred to me that the little girl across the street was on her bike when I went to go up the street, so I hauled ass over to her house to tell her parents and make sure she was inside. The house the feds were targeting was across the street from the house directly behind me, and you just never know what's going to happen at these things...there were multiple guns that I knew of involved, and who knows what kind of firepower the people they are raiding have, and what if someone slips away and takes a kid playing on the street hostage, or breaks into a house looking for a place to hide.....you just never know. I feel if the cops want SWAT assistance, there could be some very very bad people living there.
So anyway, turns out the people who lived there were trafficing cocaine. I was totally shocked, because thsi is a very nice, very family-oriented, very quiet neighborhood. But I did notice a stronger police presence here then in the last neighborhood in this town that I lived in, so I guess they've been watching this house for a while.
See, no matter where I live, crazy shit happens, lol. At my old house, a dumptruck tipped over in my yard, lol.
