Once it’s OK for a cop to feel like a 5-year-old child at the sight of an unarmed teenager, it’s got to be OK to flip out during an encounter with a scary banana:
The deputies, Joshua Bunch and Donald Love, said they feared for their safety when the man, 27-year-old Nathan Rolf Channing, pointed a banana at them while crossing the 29 Road bridge on foot, according to Channing’s arrest affidavit.
Both deputies said they saw that the “gun” was yellow, but feared for their lives nonetheless, the affidavit says.
“I immediately ducked in my patrol car and accelerated continuing northbound, fearing that it was a weapon,” Bunch wrote in the affidavit, which lists Love and him as victims. “Based on training and experience, I have seen handguns in many shapes and colors and perceived this to be a handgun.”
I guess, these brave law enforcement officers should be awarded medals for managing to keep their cool in the face of the horrifying, threatening banana and not shooting up the neighborhood to protect their valiant lives.
