MY STORY STARTS OUT WITH LIGHTS OUT CALL IN A PRETTY BAD AREA. WE ARE
INSTRUCTED TO DRIVE TO ADDRESS OF WHERE THE TROUBLE IS AND CHECK OUT SITUATION
THEN CALL FOR BACK UP IF NEEDED. I GET TO THE ADDRESS AND FIND THAT ALL THE
LIGHTS ARE ON IN THE HOUSE. I GO TO THE DOOR AND KNOCK.THE LADY COMES TO THE
DOOR WITH HUSBAND RIGHT BEHIND HER. I ASK IF THEY HAVE ALL THERE LIGHTS AND
SHE SAYS I WAS CALLING ABOUT THE STREET LIGHT BEING OUT. I TELL HER IT'S 10:00
AT NIGHT AND WE DON'T FIX STREET LIGHTS DOWN HERE IN THE DARK. WE TRY TO DO IT
IN THE DAYLIGHT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.SHE MAKES THE COMMENT THAT PIZZA HUT SAYS
THE SAME THING.(APPARENTLY THEY DON'T DELIVER AT NIGHT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD)
THEN HER HUSBAND PIPES IN AND SAYS SO YOU'D RATHER BE OVER IN JOHNSON COUNTY,
HUH ; BUD!! (WHICH IS A WELL TO DO SUBURB) I TELL HIM THAT I HAVE ENOUGH
SENIORITY THAT IF I WANTED TO WORK IN JOHNSON COUNTY I'D BE WORKING THERE.
THEN HIS WIFE STARTS IN THAT WE LIVED HERE FOR FIFTEEN YEARS AND WE NEVER HAD
ANY TROUBLE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD SHE NO SOONER SAID THAT AND BOOM, BOOM,
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM .ABOUT A 1/2 BLOCK AWAY THERE WAS GUNFIRE OF A LARGE CALIBER
WEAPON FIRED ABOUT FIVE TIMES, REAL QUICK ,SHE SAID NEVER MIND AND SLAMMED THE
DOOR IN MY FACE BEFORE I COULD GET OFF THE GROUND. I THEN YELLED THRU THE DOOR
FOR HER TO HAVE A NICE DAY. THEY GOT THERE LIGHT FIXED THE NEXT DAY IN THE DAY
LIGHT.AS FOR THE GUNFIRE I DIDN'T STICK AROUND TO FIND OUT WHAT THAT WAS ALL
ABOUT.
