Charlie Mitchener, the Las Vegas business owner who was handcuffed and disarmed after presenting a concealed weapons permit along with his driver's license to a police officer responding to a burglary call at his place of business Jan. 3, has provided me with his Jan. 19 follow-up letter to Metro.
Mitchener says he decided to write police about his ordeal, detailed in this space on Jan. 10, lest his "silence may put someone else at risk."
"Shortly before 5 a.m. Jan. 3, the alarms in my office sounded and notified TSI, our security provider, that a break-in had occurred," Mitchener writes. "They ... dispatched a security guard.
"My wife, Peggy, and I arrived at the office about 5:15 a.m.; the security officer had arrived just before us. ... The security officer informed us that he had called Metro and they told him not to enter the building. ...
"The security officer said, 'I don't want to tell you what to do, but I'm familiar with situations where the bad guys will come busting out and your vehicle may provide them cover, so I suggest you move it away from the building.' "

Well said, you have said nothing to deserve the attack that idiot launched on you.
I agree with your last statement.
every single person who hates the police would throw a baby in front of a gang member and go cower in the corner
No decent person hates the police
Wow, do you eat a lot of donuts? That sure is a lot of angry stereotyping you are doing there.
Looks like the n00bs meds haven’t kicked in this morning. Just ignore the unhinged.
Nytimese headlines from the past.(as best I can remember).
Josef Stalin leads world to a happy, comfortable future
USSR Leading Global Race to Make Better Future
U.S. falls behind; women, children, and minorities face bleak future here.
Funny how a police hating person accuses me of using stereotypes.
There has never been a decent human being who hates all police.
My mistake.. I pushed the right button at the wrong time.
Law enforcement training and policy has seemed to turn their priority away from serving the public to protecting themselves and their colleagues.
When I see film of six or eight cops with guns drawn and pointed at a postrate suspect, often innocent, on his stomach on the ground I wonder how many people get accidently killed by a weapon going off in such situations. Such policies promote the “because I said so” attitude by many LEOs and leads to grannies getting slammed to the ground and hand cuffed.
I don’t want LEOs taking unreasonable risks but the job is one of reasonable risk. That is what they sign up for. Now many departments demand minimal risk along with minimum consideration for the public.
Another person who dances with joy every time a police officer dies and would throw a 3 year old in front of the gang member trying to kill him.
Wait you might be a hope and changer!!! LOL
Your post was full of hate and gang banger lover calling me a bootlicker proves you hate the police.
Let’s see a gang member is attacking me who do I call?
The police or you who would high five the gang member and say “Please go kill every officer you find!”
DO you go to police officers funerals and say YEA HES DEAD YEA HES DEAD
Glad for your fellow officers someone who hates the police is off the force,
Cabal hates police. I hate child rapists, murderers, robbers, general rapists and such.
So if hating child rape, murder, other rape and robbery is idiocy I guess I am an idiot.
Typical of things like you are the worthless POS that showed up at my friend’s husband’s funeral and chanted Death to Police.
There is a broad middle ground here. For instance, my view is that healthy and vigorous skepticism about government power, especially armed power directed against sovereign citizens, should always be employed.
Yes, most cops are good people. History is replete with the examples of good people doing horrible things.
Lol. I don’t hate police (another ASSumption on your part), but I do think insecure people like you who spew garbage are more dangerous than a lot of criminal. I guess 80% of the Black population who hate police are all indecent. IF you beleive that, then maybe you are a racist trying to project your character flaws onto others.
Thanks for the compliment gang banger supporter but I am not a police officer.
I have quite a few friends who are or married to one and gone to too many funerals of those killed by your heroes the gang bangers.
And what dance do people like you do when an officer dies?
80 percent of blacks are wary of police. Doesn’t mean they hate them like you do.
The criminals love people like you who support them.
You know, it is possible to disagree strongly without calling names and insulting fellow FReepers. Not to mention that ad hominum attacks are clearly against forum rules.
Just sayin'.
Dude, what is your major malfunction?
