Tukwila ride along

I got up a little before noon and went down stairs. I ended up watching Cold Case Files on A&E all day long. It was a lazy day. I helped my mom when she asked for my help. I had to do some snow shoveling for the Christmas Party we were having tonight.

Around five pm Pat came over then a little after six Jon, Lisa, Justin, and Logan came over. We ate dinner, opened presents and had dessert. I opened my other presents. I got some shirts and sweaters. I got an external case for hard drives. This will be nice so I can store my data on it and carry it around. I got a gift certificate from Home Depot. I got a pool cue and case. I got a clock radio that looks like a car. It was a nice Christmas.

I had a small snowball fight with Justin and Logan. Then I went to Tukwila for a police ride along. I was with a guy names Rossi. He was a nice guy. We were first dispatched to a shop lifter at the Bon at the mall. We were getting ready to turn in to the mall when a call for a guy being beat up by six other people came out. It was at a Casino on the strip. We flew up there. On scene we did not find the victim nor the perpetrators. We cleared and went to the Bon. I got into the Loss Prevention office. Off the office was a room with a ton of cameras and monitors. It was cool to see how they worked. It is a nice system. I talked to one of the guys. He was a good looking guy. I like his eyes. He shook my hand as we left.

After that it was pretty quiet for us. We had about two more calls. Nothing came of them. The rest of the time we spent driving around. Des Moines police had a big event. We listened to that through out the evening. There was a shooting at a bar. Turns out two people were shot and another person was run over by a car. One of the suspects was seen getting shot in the foot. He was later found at a near by hospital.

I called it a night at about three thirty. I drove home on Cemetery Road. I got green lights the whole way. I stopped by Chuck's Donuts. I got a maple bar. It was still warm and very tasty. When I got home Amber and I played a tiny bit before I headed upstairs for bed.
