I got a message late on fryday asking that I contact a lieutent , name and direct phone # provided, on Monday. I just got off of an one houre long call that I wount bore you with all of it but gist of the conversation was. The lieutent was hopiing I had the names of the two officers that I spoke to as he wants to talk to both the officers and there comanding officer about the way this meating went down he also gave me the name and number of the atturney that the sheriff has hired to answer questions that thay and the public have concerning legal questions. It was a very good talk, there were two things that came up that were surprizing first was that when I left the messages I only gave my name and number and the sheriff contacted the lieutent in charge of the mountain detachment and told him to handel this personaly. Now to go back in time five years ago I stoped and lended ade to an officer in need of help and it turnded out to be a officer invalved shoting. As I was a witness I made shure the officer was not ingered and gave a statement to the investagation officers afterword ,now I had not goten a by my lieve or kiss my a** from the department at the time. But the sheriff rembered my name and wanted this handeld wright and that was why the lieutent called me, surprize surprize. The second thing was I shugested that the sheriff sholud offer a way for the public, both thouse of us that carry firearms and thouse that chouse not to, and the officers in our areas to come together and learn the laws that apply to bolth the armed citison and the police, as well as such things as the corect way to lend ade to an officer that will not endanger the cop or ourselfs. He informed me that the pierce county sheriff has some thing called the “Community Academy”
