6484 Damn... Frankie the mooch was treated better.

[scottobear]

Warning, foul language ahead.

Oh, the fuckin' drama.

Police came by my apartment tonight, looking for my brother.

I assume it's for something serious, as there were six cops there, 3 of whom swarmed into my house, wearing bulletproof vests another one had a gun to my head, outside, while two more looked at my ID and shined lights in my face.

The first thing out of my mouth? "Don't let the cat get out!"

A cop's got a fucking gun to my head, and I'm afraid that Newt'll get outside and be hit by a car.

A guy's got to have priorities, I guess.

They came here, because the ass-monkey that answers to my brother's name registered his truck at this address. I didn't know his exact home location, but I was happy to provide his cell phone number and to call the mother up to get the location of his apartment.

I guess they were looking for Andy, too... I knew full well that he was a problem, and bro was warned time and time again. He was just at court yesterday, and I guess he or his pals just couldn't wait to screw up yet again. I wonder if this is going to have effect on his currently deferred charges, and my bond money?

I want to know what my brother did... Crackhead Mooch Frankie only got two cops, no drawn weapons. No-nose psycho Landlord got 12 police cars, a fire engine and a fire-car.

So, it's worse than being a combative, lying crackhead, but not as bad as a suicidal, gun-toting loon. Good to know. So, I have a range to work in. I know my brother has a nose.

I *hate* having some other guys running around all over my territory. Looking at mail on my counter, reading the screen of my computer, and so on. I'd consider 4 of the cops as power-trippy cocksmokers... the other two looked like they could at least be a little respectful and work with me communications wise.

The lead cop had the nerve to ask "Why are you so jumpy if you don't know what's going on?"

My reply was "I didn't like having your God-Damn gun pointed in my face... it's a pretty jarring experience, and I hope you're never on the other end of it. That makes me jumpy. If you had a half dozen guys show up with guns and flashlights out of the blue, you'd be jumpy, too."

I didn't finish the sentence that was in my head that basically ended with "You nazi, piggy motherfucker."

Now, I know what they did was for their own protection, but that's the thought that went through my head. Jackbooted, pig-shouted, jerkoffs. I work with nice cops every frickin' day. Heaven forbid if a missig kid call came while I was at gunpoint.

I'm currently looking here to see if bro or one of his pals has been picked up. plus it's interesting to see who else turns up.. it's refreshed every quarter-hour. This one is useful, too.

at the moment, he's got a felony (open), 2 municipal ordinances, and a misdomeanor.

He was warned that I wouldn't pay bond to get him out this time (if they'll even grant bond, considering the situation.)

No more drama, please. Gimme some love, life.

omg!!!
That is so horrible. ugh.

I hope you can shake the feeling it must have left you with very soon .

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

thanks. it's pretty much shook.. I'm not angry or adrenaline pumped anymore, just disgusted with the situation.

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Awwww, Scott! :(

Amazing that the police asked YOU why so jumpy..I mean wth? & they were reading your mail and looking at your computer?!

What if your bro had registered his car at a grandparents house and the cops would've stopped their poor heart for sure had they gone there! Don't know if y'all still got 'em, but you get my drift. I would've both pee'd and cussed someone out if they burst in my home over the fact that someone they're looking for just has their car registered at my place. What it if were a roommate I kicked out long ago because I found out they were doing illegal things..Gee.

As much as the cops stink, though... I'm kind of bummed that you've been put in this position by your brother in the first place. :( :( :(

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I agree.. I'm glad they didn't storm my mother's place... she's no spring chicken.


and you're right, it's ultimatly some damnfool thing my brother did that caused this to happen. I think something awful must've been done with that vehicle to warrant such behavior.

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Did they mention or did you ask if they're going to come barging in again because of the truck registration when he does something in the future? I mean - if they barged in - scared you and you moved wrong or too quickly, it would be horrible for you to be shot. Can you tell him to change his truck reg. address, or could you trust him to do that?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'm going to have him change all of his mailing and forwarding addys pointing to this location to someplace else. I don't want anything to do with his nonsense legal-wise.

if he doesn't want to chang it within a reasonable amount of time, I'll just contact the cleark of courts and let them know that the registration is in error, and that he doesn't live here.

[nomi.livejournal.com]

That is horrible, Scott. :( I'm so glad you (and Newt) are okay.. *love*

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

thanks... I'm glad we're safe and sound, too!

[ziactrice.livejournal.com]

*shakes head* Hugs, big guy. It was quite right to be worried about Newt. In times of danger, we always think first of those we love who might be harmed in consequence. Well, decent people do. Some people aren't so decent.

I'm really sorry you got scared because one of those not-so-decents is your brother. If you were here, I'd dip you a big bowl of chocolate ice cream. With crushed walnuts on top, if you like those, even. :) And some dry catnip tea in a newspaper ball for Newt.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

yum! and Newt *loves* newspaper ball fetch!

Re: foul language *definitely* warranted...

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

hey, it's his call...if he wants to burn bridges, that's his choice... it's not liek he can't see the flames rise every time he throws a match.

just happy you and newt are alright

[phillykat.livejournal.com]

this time he needs to be on his own. he won't learn his lesson

Re: just happy you and newt are alright

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

yeah, he's on his own. I'm happy to help the police, despite the drawn weapons.

[danigolden.livejournal.com]

JEEESUS. :(

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

DAYYY-amm! :P

[applelard.livejournal.com]

Wow! Glad to hear that you're ok, albeit a bit bruised emotionally.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm a fast healer, though, fortunately. No emotional bones were broken. :)

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I hope you and Newt aren't too shaken!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Newt took it like a trouper! He went into the bathroom, hung out there while the strangers were here, and came out to give me love after they left. :)

we're both pretty calm at this point... Thanks!

[filthymonkey.livejournal.com]

goddamn it. That fucking sucks. Your brother needs to wake the fuck up and realize he's fucking over possibly one of the kindest guys on the east coast. I'm sorry man, that is truly a shitty experience. Hope you and newt can get over the trauma relatively quickly.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I don't know what it'll take to wake him up. I suppose a month to six weeks in the local jail might help matters. Thanks for your sympathy.

Newt and I are pretty much over it, now that it's a peaceful, quiet night once more.

[egofood.livejournal.com]

Holy moly. Thank heavens you're ok and Newt is there to help calm your nerves.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Dern tootin'. Thanks!

[pilarcruz.livejournal.com]

Dood. That is fucked. I'm sorry.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

You ain't kiddin. I'm glad it's over, is all.

Your choice of language...

[gilbertbee.livejournal.com]

...was less foul than the situation deserved. You have a good heart, though, and Newtie will repay you for protecting him.

Re: Your choice of language...

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Heck, he watches out for me quite a bit. It's nice to have him greet me at the door when I get home, and he's very, very dear to me.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

fort lauderdale.

yeah, I think the cops got just overexuberant. I'm not too roughed up, all told. Any wrinkles came out in the hot shower following the episode.

thanks for your words.

Bad Scott, bad Scott, whatchagonna do, watchagonna do when they come for you(r brother)??

[missv.livejournal.com]

Can we look forward to seeing you on a future episode of "Cops"??

Let me get this straight... You opened the door and they immediately jumped you and put a gun to your head?? Without a word of warning? Sheesh. I mean, you're a big dude n'all....but how can that kinda behavior fly? What if Newt had made a break for freedom and you had reflexively lunged to stop him? Would the thugs have shot you dead on the spot?? ("Uh, sorry I killed him Sarge. He was reaching for his cat, and I think it was loaded!")

Grrrrrr.....

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if you shouldn't file a complaint against the ossifers who roughed you up.

Sorry about everything, buddy. The whole situation stinks on a variety of levels. If it's any consolation to you, Lucille and I are sending you and Newtie a whole bunch o' psychic LJ lovin'....

xoxo (that's from me) and *purrrr...drool* (that's from Super Luce)

Re: Bad Scott, bad Scott, whatchagonna do, watchagonna do when they come for you(r brother)??

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

they knocked on the door, said police. I hollered through the door, just a sec, I'm putting on some pants (I was just in boxers). I open the door, and there's a guy that shines a light in my face, two guys take my arm, twists me into a hammerlock while a gun is put in my face so they can ask me questionas about who I am and where my brother is.

The warning was "police, open the door or we'll take it down".

For what it's worth, I work with law enforcement daily, and our org is in pretty dang good with the chief here.... those guys still might be in for some trouble.

you won't see me on cops, because I wasn't wearing a wifebeater shirt, and there was poor lighting, save for the halogen bulbs of the flashlights.

thanks for the good thoughts! Hooray for you and super Luce! Wear your capes proudly!

[ldy.livejournal.com]

Lovelovelove!

"I know my brother has a nose."

Your ability to keep your head and use it in such a wonderful manner speaks volumes about you and your character, bro. I think you handled yourself well in regards to the rather sad treatment you got from Florida's finest, as well.

I promise your unrelated little bigger sis won't need bond anytime soon. *HUGS*

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

yeah, you'd *BETTER* stay outta jail! you've got a P and rockstar to keep your eyes on now!!

*huggo*

Thanks for you kind words and high praise.

[tarpo.livejournal.com]

ugh.. that blows.. I always seem to take the cops side on stuff.. and frankly.. I'd think i'd want at least 6 people with guns drawn if I was coming into your house and didn't know you were a hippie yeti..

To change the subject.. because you already seem to have a boatload of people all says the same basic sentiment.. Do you watch This Old House on PBS? Because on the current project one of the home owners really reminds me of you.. I think its something about the way he talks, walks and moves.. It gives off the same big positive vibe that I got from you the few times we hung out..

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I don't much care for the style with wich they did what they did, but I can understand them erring oin the side of caution. (Doesn't mean I like it, though.)

Haven't seen this old house in an age.. not since bob vila was on it. (I have been compared to AL/fence neighbor guy hybrid from home improvement before, though.)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I don't think the actions matched the issue, but I guess each cop handles things differently. they treated frankie a lot more kindly and the police were called on a *violence* related crime.

[tempestmir.livejournal.com]

*gasps*

I think that's the first time I've heard you cuss...and for good reason, I'd have been freaking out, myself!

What a terrible experience...I hope it all irons itself out, though it sounds like your brother's time for a serious wake-up call has arrived. I hope some benefit comes from all this.

((hugs))

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Too true, I don't cuss very often. I'd just had my very fill of that nonsense.

Bro's wake up call came, and left and came and left... I don't know if he'll ever figure it out.
