Police Storytime With Branana
Episode 1
So for the first story, we're going to go back to where it all started for me. Like any other job you have to work your way up the ranks, so this story comes from my first year back when I was just an average naive police officer before my detective days. Sometime in the spring of 2007 when I was just one day with my radar speed tracker, and this red Chevy Silverado was doing 110 Km/h in an 80 Km/h zone, while he was swerving almost into the ditch, so needless to say I literally said "this man is drunk as a skunk", so I flip the lights and sirens on and signal for him to pull over. Eventually he stops and I get out to make contact with him. After talking for a while you could tell he had alcohol on his breath and was obviously impaired, so I ask him to step out of the car and search him quick before heading back to my police car to file an arrest report for a DUI, but what naive me didn't realize was that during my amount of time on the computer, the Chevy had completely gone, just drove off Grand Theft Auto LSPDFR style. Naturally, I decide to keep driving to find this guy. This is where the crazy happens.
After driving for about 2 minutes I found the Chevy driving, this time on the outskirts of town on the freeway, and after tailing him for some time and asking him to stop on the PR system, I finally decide to call for backup. Once my fellow officer gets there in their police car the suspect finally decides to pull over. From there I was able to park my vehichle and talk to my colleague about the situation, before I told him the plate number and all the other details, and he replies with one sentence that still to this day makes me cringe.
"And you didn't bother to check the plates on this car you were following before calling for backup?"
I can't exactly remember what I said, but it was some sort of snarky reply. I thought for sure I found the guy I had pulled over, after all I only looked away for a minute or so before I realized, so I thought there was no way I could be wrong, so I go back to my police car and check this Chevy's plates and immediately realized, the plates were nowhere close to the same, and I immediately wanted to slap myself.
When I was checking the computer and the guy got away, I went around the city for a little bit to find him. I did find A Red Chevy Silverado about four blocks down, but it turns out it wasn't the right Chevy Silverado and the guy I was yelling at from our systems the whole time was an innocent guy just driving home from work.
Needless to say, I was the laughing stock of the department for the next month. I couldn't do a traffic stop the same way for at least four months.
But that's ok, because I became a homicide detective about 6 years later.

Police Storytime With Branana
Episode 2
I pulled over Brock Lesnar with my uncle.
I'm serious.
This is one of those stories that isn't funny but is just really cool. Although I am a detective nowadays whenever someone can't make it for one reason or another I still occasionally do police patrol, and this comes from one of those times a couple of years ago. One of our guys couldn't make it in one fay so I decided to fill in for him, but his police cruiser was in an accident about a week ago so I didn't have a vehicle, so I talked to the chief and long story short my uncle (Who is also a cop) offered to share the cruiser for the day. So while we were out with our radar speed check on the highway we saw a quite nice car (can't remember exactly what type it was) driving fast so we decided to follow the guy. Eventually we got him pulled over so I de ided to go and make contact with him.
Before I continue with this story, in case you didn't know Brock Lesnar has a farm in rural saskatchewan, which is how he was driving on the highway in general.
As soon as I see the man in the vehicle, my heart stops. I was face to face with Brock F***ing Lesnar. Before I even say hi I hear Brock say "What the hell do you want?!", as I slowly tuck my tail between my legs and head back to the car to get the ticket book, I thought to myself "I wonder if I could get an autograoh from Brock Lesnar." So as I was walking back to the vehicle I politely asked as a 28 year old man at the toime for an autograoh from a pissed off Brock Lesnar, who actually was willing to sign the paper I had if he could get away without a ticket. Needless to say, I may have risked getting fired from my job, but at least I have an extremely rare autograph from Brock Lesnar.

Police Storytime With Branana
Episode 3
There are some scary calls we get that just descend to sh*t.
This... this was one of those times.
It was a pretty average day in the fall of 2011, a couple easy calls, etc.
Until over the radio we hear this.
We have an armed robbery on _________ blvd, all units respond with caution, suspects are armed and dangerous.
Now, for the most part the area I work ism't the worst, but we still get our share of scary situations. But for some reason I just generally had a bad feeling about this one, in anticipation. It's like when you can't remember if the burner on the stove is still hot, and it's not hot enough to feel the heat coming off of it but thw metal's still probably gonna burn you and you need to touch it to find out cause you need to put your groceries on it and it's probably still hot but it might not be, it was one of those feelings. So, we get to the business, four of us watch from across the street while me and three others went around the back to try and work our way through, which went pretty well until we figured out that the door was locked from the inside, which really sucked because we knew and they knew they controlled our fate and there was only one door standing between us and them and if they wanted to they could open the door fast, aim their hunting rifles at us and blow our heads off. The guys watching from across the street come through the front, and taze the suspects, but it turns out their wearing f***ing body armor. So what did they do, they fired three shots off, two of which just missed and the other one lightly grazed one of the cops in the shoulder, not enough to cause any major damage, but still enough to stop him for a few seconds. As soon as those shots went off, me and the others coming from the back went back up and took cover as soon as we heard the shots to avoid crossfire, as all that could be heard downstairs were gunshots. It turns out that one of the suspects was hit 6 times and the other 4, but due to the armor they literally did nothing. They however, were able to do some damage when me and the guys decided to kick down the door and smoke them out, however, they simply threw it back at us, and kept shooting.
It was at that very point where I legitimately thought I was gonna die.
That was not to be however, as one of my bullets finally made it right between the two robbers heads. Finally, after a solid 3 more seconds of shots, and one more member of the force injured, once they were out of bullets, they simply gave up. I could not believe it. First off, we had such a major gunfight it could have come out of the movies, second, they just surrendered after shooting two cops. Luckily, no one was severly injured and eberyone made it out okay,, but to this very day I still think it is crazy to surrender after trying to kill multiple officers. Normally, people would do anything and everything to try and avoid those charges, but they just treated it like it was nothing.
So that, was probably my scariest non detective story. Thanks for enjoying and stay tuned for the next episode!
