I came outta the bank on the uni campus and heard "Freeze!" but I wasn't really payin attention. I reached into my jean jacket pocket under my rain jacket for my smokes and I heard "Freeze or I'll fire!" That got my attention... especially when I heard the pump action shotgun... that kinda gets yer attention REAL quick.

Bit of a story but the sad part is nodody got a pic of me up against the squad car in front of the bank with these guys levelling their weapons at me. Woulda been a great pic.

Turned out, in the end, near as I could figure out, it was a training exercise for a new recruit. Just glad he wasn't trigger happy. HE never pulled his pistol... and I am GLAD he didn't on accounta he was shakin like a leaf in a gale when he took my particulars.

I asked one of the officers what the fuck that was all about. He said they were tipped off that someone was gonna rob the bank. I said, "So you fuckin guys holler "freeze" at someone walkin outta the bank when it WASN'T ROBBED?!" That'swhen he explained to me that it was in my best interest if I just walked away. I did.

Not much of a story... but I really wish someone had gotten a pic so's I could tell the grandkids about my bank robbing days.
