My dad, oh, this is four, this one's four right now. My dad
told me a story about when he was on the Wirth Fire
Department back in the 60s and one time he was in the fire
house in the engine room mopping the floor real late at
night and an officer,
came in hammered and draws his service weapon on my father
insisting that he is an intruder. He was broken into the
fire department as my dad said, you know, obviously to mop
the floor and he had to very carefully talk this officer
down and there was finally some other people
that came in and helped with calming him down. He had a
weapon drawn on him by a drunk police officer back in the
60s and you guys can go get my dad on this, that's fine, he
's dead now.

▶ Speaking
I wasn't there, I don't know who the officer
was. He was really experienced that really disenchanted him of
his trust for a lot of people and police officers seriously
took a number on that day, amongst a couple other things
but yeah, one time just volunteering in the fire department
but an inebriated police officer comes in and decides that
he is going to draw his weapon and
and accuse my dad on that and accuse my dad of mopping an
entry or something. I don't know, it was stupid. But he had
the gun.
