Crime

I must give a shout out to the policeforce of Gulf Breeze. I have never ever experienced police being so attentative. The other night Christen and I were out for a walk, around 11 pm, after he'd come home from work. We thought it would be nice with some fresh air, maybe walk down to the ocean and relax. On our way back from our walk, we got stopped by a police officer, who got out of his car and started interrogating us about what we were doing, why we were out so late, where were we going, etc. He did not believe we simply wanted a walk. It was crazy. He thought we were suspicios! And all we did was walk! Even though it wasn't too comfortable for us to be spoken to by police, it gave us a sense of security, that no matter how small or insignificant something looks, the police will check it out, to keep Gulf Breeze safe. That's great.

But then again. Last night, Christen and I went shopping. It was late, because we shop after Christen's home from work, around 10:30. But anyway, we got in the car, and noticed police cars in our street. We knew some neighbours had previously had an under-age party, and so we didn't think anymore of it, until we drove a little further, and saw the police running behind a house with flashlights. And this is like, three houses away from our house. But we drove on, to get our shopping done. On the way there, we realized we'd forgot a coupon, so we decided to go back home, which meant passing the house with the police outside. There were four police cars in total. And right when we passed up the house with the fashlight search, we see a guy in handcuffs, getting put into the police car! I've never ever seen anyone get arrested, and it was pretty freaky, especially knowing it was right down the road. The police get my respect, but that also comes with my fear. Yikes. Police= crime.

Never really thought I'd see what the US is so famous for. But last night, I was a witness of what Christen says was a drugbust. Just to make it clear, these are new neighbours. Our apartment complex is leasing, which means new neighbours, new stories.... Hmm.. Maybe more blogs to come...
