"so he came up this road and
they took
him down right over there
actually he was coming toward my
car and luckly i carry a
gun on me all the time so i
actually pulled my
gun out but i didn't want to get
out of my car and i believe one
of these black suv
deputies they came i think it
was a state
trooper they came around and cut
me off and is see them ccome
down they say
get him on the ground and they
tazzed him
but he got back up."

worse for what we have I think

outcome."
