I had a dream last night that I was a cop. My squad and I all busted into a warehouse, which was mostly dark and deserted. We were storming in to find a fugitive (for an unknown crime), and twisted between walls and doorways. Eventually we came into a room where a young blond girl with sort of that *heroin chic look* was standing in the corner. Several of other policeman began barking orders at her, to either lay down on the ground or put her hands up, to drop her weapon, or stand against the wall. She wasn’t able to honor all the requests since they were mutually exclusive, so I decided to shut all the other policemen up and take point on giving orders.
Calmly, I convinced the girl to get down on the ground so we could cuff her. Once in custody, the Sergeant entered the room and wanted to immediately begin his line of questioning. He pulled out a taser and said “This taser will not effect those with a strong will.” He then zapped me with it, and though I felt the electrical current through my body like a warm buzz, I was shocked that I was still able to have full control limbs.
The Sergeant then asked the young girl a nondescript question, and when she refused to answer, he tased her hard square in the back. She yelped in pain. The Sergeant eventually stopped the electrical flow, and looking a little sheepish, told the rest of the policeman to take her away. As they took her out I said to the Sergeant “You know, I don’t think you can do that.” I wasn’t really upset with the Sergeant, I just knew that it was against protocol.
Later, back at the station, another young girl said that she had an emergency with the mythological animals in the zoo. At the same time I was explaining to the Sarge that we needed to have a more structured way of handling emergency situations – that someone needs to be in charge of interrogating, another person needs to be responsible for keeping cover, another guy has to shout the orders. The Sarge was overwhelmed at this point, and told the young zoo keeper girl to come back to him later or to figure out the problem on her own. She left in a huff and no sooner than a minute or two later, all of these exotic reptiles and mythical creatures began to enter the police station and the streets of the city – dinosaurs, griffins, the whole nine yards.
Mythical creatures and exotic reptiles? Awesome!
Hey, this is kind of weird, because I just posted a dream I had yesterday, and it had you and Amber in it!
