A man named Steven Hildreth Jr. was pulled over by a Tucson Police officer because of a broken headlight. But as it turned out, the officer had questions. He wanted to know if Steven had any weapons, to which he said yes. He explained that he had a gun but had a permit for carrying one.<\/p>\n

Then the officer asked for the man\u2019s licence and registration. As he had them in his right pocket, the officer had to disarm him so that he could reach his wallet.Steven shared the rest of the story on his Facebook page and it quickly went viral with more than.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I\u2019m driving to my office to turn in my weekly paperwork. A headlight is out. I see a Tucson Police Department squad vehicle turn around and follow me. I\u2019m already preparing for the stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lights go on and I pull over. The officer asks me how I\u2019m doing, and then asks if I have any weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, sir. I\u2019m a concealed carry permit holder and my weapon is located on my right hip. My wallet is in my back-right pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe officer explains for his safety and mine, he needs to disarm me for the stop. I understand, and I unlock the vehicle. I explain that I\u2019m running a 7TS ALS holster but from the angle, the second officer can\u2019t unholster it. Lead officer asks me to step out, and I do so slowly. Officer relieves me of my Glock and compliments the X300U I\u2019m running on it. He also sees my military ID and I tell him I\u2019m with the National Guard.<\/p>\n

\u201cLead officer points out my registration card is out of date but he knows my registration is up to date. He goes back to run my license. I know he\u2019s got me on at least two infractions. I\u2019m thinking of how to pay them.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficers return with my Glock in an evidence back, locked and cleared.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause you were cool with us and didn\u2019t give us grief, I\u2019m just going to leave it at a verbal warning. Get that headlight fixed as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

I smile. \u201cThank you, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a black man wearing a hoodie and strapped. According to certain social movements, I shouldn\u2019t be alive right now because the police are allegedly out to kill minorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe\u2026just maybe\u2026that notion is bunk.<\/p>\n

Maybe if you treat police officers with respect, they will do the same to you.
\nPolice officers are people, too. By far and large, most are good people and they\u2019re not out to get you.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to thank those two officers and TPD in general for another professional contact.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talk so much about the bad apples who shouldn\u2019t be wearing a badge. I\u2019d like to spread the word about an example of men who earned their badges and exemplify what that badge stands for.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
