It is amazing some of the situations that happen to people out of the clear blue. Don had one the other day that was pretty scary, but ended up all right.
As he was driving to work, he noticed a police car sitting by the side of the road clocking traffic. No big deal. Happens all the time. He pulled off US 54 into the Central Business District and turned up the street toward his office. As he looked behind him, he saw the police car, lights blazing. Though he had no idea what he had done, he pulled over, and a truck pulled in behind him.
He heard the policeman yelling, and when he looked in his rear mirror, he saw the officer, hiding behind his door, gun drawn. The gun was pointed right at Don. "Let me see your hands," the officer yelled, and Don quickly rolled down his window and put his hands out. So did the man behind him.
That is when Don determined that the stop had nothing to do with him. Within a few seconds, the other man was handcuffed and being led to the police car.
Whew. Don was able to drive away, but he said looking into the barrel of that gun was pretty scary. You just never know what is going to happen to you at 7:00 a.m. on a Friday morning.
