Fun At The Park

Since the weather is still gorgeous here in Spokane in the middle of September we have been going to the different parks around town a couple of times a week. So, today I am at the park with my girlfriends Kim and Allyson and the kids are playing and we are visiting, just having a great afternoon. There are several gentlemen (a.k.a. bums) taking naps around the park under the trees. We weren't paying them any mind until all of the sudden we hear this shouting coming from the bushes. Out pops a "gentleman" who is running full speed ahead and screaming at the top of his lungs. Two seconds later a sheriff bursts out of the bushes right behind him. So this guy is running across the park and the sheriff is yelling at him to stop and he doesn't so when he gets close enough the sheriff totally pepper sprays this guy in the face like four times!! Then the sheriff is yelling at him to get down and he isn't so he kicks him until he falls down!! The guy is screaming, "My eyes are burning! I can't see!" and we're like duh, sherlock, you just got maced in the face like four times! This whole time we're just standing there watching and then we decided park time was over and we might want to leave. As we're loading up the kids three more sheriff cars come screaming up to the park and they are handcuffing this guy and he is just a howling about his eyes. Now that I think about it we should have just stayed at the park. It probably would have been super safe for the rest of the day since the minute the sheriff's showed up the park emptied of our "gentlemen" friends! Hey, Kim and Allyson - good call on the choice of park! Which one are we going to next?!?

I can't believe you didn't jump in and help out the sheriff. You could have at least helped him kick the guy.

Gotta love Spokane! I'm telling you girl, Idaho is quieter! Sounds like quite the adventure! What park was that? (the giant wagon one? it wouldn't surprise me.) Too bad you couldn't have caught it on video and then made your own COPS video to post along with this blog blurb! Now that would have been COOL!!! haha
