Figured I'd post my last shift that I posted on my yesterday's shift page, here:

While working alone last night, I was sent to check a "man with a gun" with another officer that was coming from a long way off. When I arrived I couldn't see anyone, but figured I'd hold back (around the corner) waiting for my back-up (In Flint, a 'man with a gun call' is not much out of the ordinary...normally I would drive through the area alone, to at least start checking the area, simply because most of the time the person is gone). But this time, my instincts told me to just wait. So I did. Once she (my back-up arrived), we both rounded the corner only to find about 20 guys sitting in chairs in a very dark area. Of course we used our spotlights, but the darkness didn't help. We ordered everyone at gunpoint to put their hands on their heads. While doing so (and as we lit 'em up with the spotlight), I saw one particular male backing up slowly as if he was getting ready to run. I told my backup to cover me as I started checking the each subject, when I realized that this was insane, telling dispatch that we needed more cars. While I'm checking them, my back-up notifies me she found a gun practically at her feet in the front yard. We also find a large bag of drugs (all individually wrapped...which means they were selling it). We tell them to sit back down and began checking the area a little more (i.e. around their chairs, yard, etc.). While they're sitting there, I see behind one of the chairs (in arms reach of two of the guys) what appears to be a buck of a gun (another gun!). I tell the guys as I reach for it not to even think about moving, only to discover it's another gun. Of course, nobody knows anything about the guns or the drugs and you can't really charge them with it...not in Flint anyway...you really need to be able to say we saw someone throw it, or holding it or something. Anyway, the original caller wanted to make a complaint, claiming the one of the men pointed a gun at him, so one of the guys went to jail. We later found out that both guns were also stolen.
