Well, yes, there was someone trying to break in.
At least the cops all went home safe that night.
Many of these elderly veterans are EXTREMELY DEAF! My dad
was a combat veteran of WWII. When he came home from the
war; he was very deaf. It got worse over the years. If you
go through the firefights & the sky being black with planes
flying overhead in a thundering roar, you’ll be deaf, too.
My dad was almost paranoid about someone breaking in on him
& he had a Smith & Wesson revolver for which he poured his
own bullets. . one at a time at the kitchen table.
And I think that they broke in. If you want to enjoy a long happy life today, My FRiend, stay far away from the police. These are not the police I grew up with. Back then they were one of us. They treated us as equals and respect and we treated them as equals and returned the respect. But it is different today, so the best thing to do is to avoid contact with them.
