 When I say there's never a dull moment in my town I really mean it.  Say what you want Grand Prairie but never call it a boring city!   Case in point.  A few minutes ago I had the pleasure of witnessing a take down right outside my front door!  You heard me right, Texas!  Yours truly witnessed this in real time and a mighty fine take down it was, by golly!  Now this wasn't some run of the mill criminal who refused to stop when asked, this car had at least three individuals that I could count, each one more bigger than the one before him.  At first it seemed like there was gonna be trouble because the guys in the car were refusing to exit the vehicle.   Several more cops got out of their vehicle, guns drawn and readily cocked.  Whilst I was watching this scene unfold before my eyes I remember thinking how the Dallas Police would handle the situation and judging by the events playing out before me I was a bit afraid I might hear gunfire erupt.  That is how many cases like this end up in Dallas.  No matter what scenario you picture the results end the same.  Shots are fired and somebody inevitably dies.  Since Grand Prairie is a surburb of Dallas naturally I thought the outcome would be the same.  Thank goodness I've been a resident of this wonderful town over ten years and know the police department equally well.   Don't misunderstand me!  The grand Prairie Police Department does have a few bad apples but those bad apples are few and far between.  TheReb666 knows this very well having a history with the police here in town as in other towns as well.  Be that as it may, I can safely say that out of all the police departments I have had the pleasure of being arrested by the GPPD is the best one out there, hands down.  The events that played right outside my front door today not only proved this point, but the takedown itself deserves merit!   Three or more perps, armed and resistive were taken down without gunfire, without any brute force whatsoever and without any harsh words, degradation, totally without incident of any kind!   No one got hurt, there was no property damamge and everyone walked away alive!  Professionalism in all it's glory people, pure professionalism!   It is this what prompted me to blog about this in the first place.   If you ask me the Grand Prairie Police Department and it's tactics should be held as a model for every major police department out there, particularly those here in North Texas!    If more police departments would conduct itself the way my men and women at the Grand Prairie Police Department does,  more lives will be saved in the process and that is always a good thing.  Like I said, never a dull moment here in Grand Prairie!
