some flames perhaps, but hoping for some honest advice. I promise I'm not a Strawberry, or a blueberry, or any type of berry, for that matter.
About six months ago, I left my ex-boyfriend and the aftermath became quite ugly- resulting in his arrest for assault and filing of a TRO. The local police were incredibly supportive and helpful throughout the process. I took the advice I was given, sought out support, pressed charges and never looked back.
Fast forward to now: I was cooking dinner one night a few weeks ago, and heard screaming outside. Nutshell: a domestic situation happening beside my driveway. The guy drove away when I told him to back off and that police were coming, and I talked with the girl and stayed with her until police came. I gave them the information they needed about the guy's car and what I had seen and heard, and then left everyone alone and went back to my porch.
One of the officers walked up the driveway and spotted me; he came over to say he thought this was my house when he pulled up. He was one of the officers I remember helping me when I filed against my ex - I couldn't believe he remembered me from that long ago, let alone my house (since I filed everything at the station)! Anyhow, I walked back down the driveway while chatting and was a little caught up in the situation (at that point, the poor girl had hugged me and was crying on me.) He left, and the other officers remaining, (finishing the report, I guess), elbowed me and said that I must not like cops, then they left as well.
I admit to being oblivious- the situation that had happened was like deja vu and quite unsettling for me- but I wished I had noticed! Problem- I don't know who he is, (and no- he didn't file my original reports.) Above that, while I'm sure I can find out who he is in this rather small town, how to reach him in a friendly way without putting him on the spot?
I'm not scouting available cops - I just would like to get to know this one. I know you all are just people, after all, but hitting on a cop just seems difficult.
Opinions much appreciated.
