My Olds Used as Police Shield!

I had the day off yesterday. I was washing and waxing my Olds that morning and then went inside half way through for some lunch. When I went back outside later I saw three police cars in front of my house and several officers with guns drawn strategically positioned in my yard and the yards around mine. I turned around and went back in the house!

I walked to the back of the house and looked into my backyard where I saw this.



A few minutes later the swat team showed up.



The unconfirmed story is that a neighbor was having an epically bad day and had a rifle out. The standoff went on for about four hours. Pretty much the whole time this police officer was using my Olds as a shield and prop for his weapon. It was pretty wild.

I will say that I have absolutely the most respect for the police department and the often thankless service they provide. If a Police officer wants to use my car as a shield to protect themselves and the community be my guest.

The situation ended with no gunfire and the neighbor being taken to the hospital.

Having the first photo really made my day as it was proof to everyone I know that I didn't make the whole thing up.

 

Scary and cool at the same time

 

They KNOW yer Olds is "bullet proof" thats why....in reality tis prolly a safer shield than a newer car.....look at it this way,no harm done and a true story to tell all yer pals!!!!Love yer Olds by the by... lets see some more uvit!

 

Glad everything turned out well,,the officers used restraint and the disturbed neighbor did likewise,,in cases like this no one knows what can happen.

Your Old's could have been ventilated. HRP

 

so this happen on MARS, GLAD ever one is OK,

 

heard the officer was a little pissed because you used alot of wax on the roof and he couldn't keep from sliding off

(Nice color what is it ??)

 

Glad the Olds didn't get shot up.

yeah would of sucked but an awesome story though.

 

I hope he didn't scuff the roof of the OLds!Looks like a nice paint job!

 

Glad things worked out for all. The cop needs a refresher in the difference between cover and concealment. The car doors are more concealment, the glass windows less so. The front tires and engine block are cover.

 

Glad your Olds didnt get turned into a "Sunday car"...get it?...Hole-y...Holy...Sunday? Okay Im done now....

 

Must be a car guy. Looks like he rested his hand on the roof not the shotgun.

 

That had to be a scary site! First for your safety and the Olds! Smart officer to take cover behind a Rocket Powered Hot Rod!

 

I bet you he wanted to do a starsky and hutch across that shiny hood ..oh the tempation ..

 

Wow, that photo's a framer for sure!

I'd of been yelling "Hey, use the BBQ dammit!"

 

Wow. At first I thought what does that cop think he's doing near that car. Then it dawned on me. He's risking his lift to keep others safe. That's what he's doing by that car. Crazy story. Thanks for sharing.

You toucha my car I breaka yo face.

 

Glad this had a safe ending for everyone and everything (your Olds). Usually in the movies when the cop says "Police emergency - I need your car!" it doesn't end well...

 

Your Olds had a wtf look about it !

 

LMAO so true

Glad you didn't run out screaming, "get the fuck away from my car". That would have been not so good.

 

Awesome. Now you have a car related icon and dump that cow pic.

 

You wouldn't need to buy those bullet hole decals !
I think bullet holes add character. My neighbor down the road gave me an old Hillman Manx that was perforated by drunk(?) weekend shooters! There was no drivers side window or mechanism left, but it got damn good mileage and curious looks! ("Are those bullet holes?")
Double 00 better then no. 4

 

Glad to hear that you did need to repair any bullet holes!

damn pigeons stay away from my car !!

 

made my day

 

well that answers the age old question of how many shots he fired .. so it was 5 ..

 

Bizarre , that's a pic you can frame with a good result and no harm done. And bizarre that you were home to see it unfold.

 

use the pics in all future car shows you participate in.

 

Nice.....If it ever rolls across the block at B-J the car now has a "history"
