It's the POLICE

Blake's beat has been quiet, to bad we can't say the same for the rest of fort worth.

Highlight of the month: Blake's sister Rachel was at a stop light on Western Center and saw Blake arresting a bum. She was pretty excited to see her big brother in action! The guy was loitering and had a local warrant, he usually doesn't arrest for that but the guy was being a big jerk. Blake said had he of treated him with some respect he would have never arrested him.

They got to surround a house and talk over the pa system. A guy called the cops because they saw someone go into their neighbors house and knew they were out of tow. When the cops got there, the people did open the door. The cops could hear them whispering and moving things around. They surrounded the house and called over the speaker "we have the house surrounded, come out with your hands up". One guy finally came out, then another, and another...There ended up being 7 guys in the house. One was the grandson of the home owner who was just there throwing a small party with his friends. One guy was 23 and bought the booze and a few had warrants. Most got tickets and a few went to jail. Things would have gone differently if they would have just opened the door.

The hot dog stand at home depot on basswood and 35 got robbed yesterday. The lady had just put all the money in a black bank bag and some guy walked out of home depot and asked for a hot dog. She had the bad under arm while she made the hot dog and he grabbed it and took off through the parking lot and jumped the fence to some apartments near by. They never found him, he got away with about 300 dollars.

Blake didn't take this call but there was a homicide on 820 near 35. Three people were driving in the same car, and the two guys were arguing over something. They pulled over onto the construction site and continued fighting and one guy pulled out a gun and shot his friend. The guy who got shot has his wife with him, so she saw the whole thing. The guy who shot his friend didn't run or anything, he just sat down and waited for cops to get there. People are crazy, you can't even trust your own friends.
