“He had a loaded 38 revolver pointed at my chest and was shaking and that crazed look about him,” says Childs. “I thought he certainly had potential to pull the trigger at any point.”
It all started over a parking spot outside a grocery store.
When Sgt. Childs pulled into the lot, the spots were all taken. So he made his own space and that’s what set this guy off.
When Childs got back to the car, Joshua Webb was waiting for him.
=========================================
My question is - Does this police officer think he's above the law, and can just park wherever the hell he wants, just because he's a cop?
Obviously Mr. Webb went to (insane) extremes to attempt to remedy the parking infraction, but imnsho this could have been avoided if Sgt. Childs had done what everyone else in that situation would have had to do, which is to circle the damned lot until a legitimate parking spot opened up.
