Yes, about 10 of them actually 3-4 with shotguns too.

Years ago I went to a concert with a buddy, we parked the car which was his and went to the concert. When we got out the car was gone, he immediately called the police and reported it stolen.

We waited around downtown a bit and ended up in a bar for a few hours and when we were there we saw a few cars being towed for parking violations it occurred to us maybe his car was towed not stolen. Sure enough when we called the tow company they had his car. Se we went to pick it up and paid the tow and were driving home when it all hit the fan.

We are waiting at a stop light its about 3AM now we are the only car on the road. Out of nowhere at least 6 police cars come flying out of nowhere and surround us to the point there isn't a foot of room infront or behind the car, and then they all jump out of there cars take cover behind them and draw their weapons on us and start yelling to slowly get out of the car and put our hands up and get on the ground.

I just looked at my buddy and said I guess you forgot to call the cops and let them know it wasn't stolen eh. And then I got out very slowly and very slowly got on the ground with my hands behind my head. To the cops credit they didn't rough me up to bad cuffing me or throwing me in the back of the car.

Although they didn't believe us on scene and took us back to the station and then they let us go about a hour later, after they had the car impounded, to the same tow company yard lol.

Haha! Best one yet.

Also, since reading and replying to this thread yesterday - I had a dream a cop pulled a gun on me and shot the ground in between us to get me to stop what I was doing (for some reason I of course had a fake gun at a beach). Damn dreams.

I had a cop shoot me in the back w/ a taser for trying to ask him a question once.

(He later apologized to me in the ER, which apparently they had to take me there to avoid any further liability)

Once...

I pointed mine back at him. His cop buddies then pointed theirs at me.

My buddies pointed theirs at them. MK19 and M2 win the argument without a shot fired.

US military convoy vs. Iraqi Police. They didn't like the route(road) we were taking and wanted us to go another way.

Yes. Somehow managed to find myself in the middle of a "felony style" stop. Get out hands on head, walk backward, down to knees, cuff.

It wasn't all that entertaining for us involved.

lol yeah never bring a Beretta to a Mk19 fight, I've always said that

That reminds me of hearing about some female MPs who were pulled over by Saudi cops back in 90-91. Seems those guys didn't keep their hands to themselves, got beat down, hogtied and thrown in the back for a ride back to al Kharj. Not sure if its true though.
