The place

Unlike other public green parks, however, this particular land belonged to the boys club and girls, a national non-profit organization. This organization funds after-school programs that are mainly organized for young people to improve their skills. Martha knew the place. It was not the first time she came to this place, but this time it was different. Something disturbed it. She thought she felt that it could be because she was alone. His intestine feeling told him not to go there. Shrugging the shoulders of the feeling she moved.

Inside the property

It seemed that there was no one in the property. Usually, you could spot the kids there, but that day, all the place was in a completely silent area. She was wrong! As she moved further, she saw someone inside the building. She did not give much attention to her as she was in a hurry to go home and prepare dinner for her family. According to his grandson, she was part of the salad composed of dandelions mixed with garlic and common lemon in her ancestral homeland. She was not prepared for that.

A shadow

With a kitchen knife by hand, she picked up dandelions. She could say that there was someone inside the building, even if he seemed that the building was empty. Once again, she did not think much. Maybe it was the security guard, she thought. She was busy with the work she came first. She should have been paying attention to her surroundings because what happened next was something unexpected for a woman 87 years old.

Unknown noise

Being an age of 87 is a difficult age. With age, several problems label also. One could have a loss of sight or hearing or weakness and many other problems like these come with old age. Martha had a problem with her audience. The same problem led him in the middle of a crisis. She did not expect to see each other in the situation in which she was in.

The silence of the property

As we have already said that the building in which Martha picked up the dandelions belonged to the club of boys and girls. Martha was sure she saw a shadow, but was her shadow? She had no idea. She did not even care because she was here before. When you visited a place several times, you are aware of the surroundings and people, do not you? But, while the shadow of the Martha shadow saw?

Should I investigate?

Martha thought she should go inside the building and see each other who was the person. But then she was already late and there was so much for her to go home. She had to prepare dinner for the family. She thought it would barely take a minute or so see who was the person and then she would just return to her business. She should not have done that.

Looking for something

When she reached near the building, she did not see anyone. She tried to look inside the building through the windows, as expected, there was no need. She was doing late. She stopped her little investigation between the two and returned home. As she came back, she felt a little worried about her knees. She held a knife she grabbed tightly in her fist. Although it was difficult to walk as fast as possible, it seemed an impossible task for her. Nevertheless, she managed to reach the exit of the building. A sigh of relief went through all the veins of the body.

Something she left behind

When Martha reached the exit of the ground, she realized that she had forgotten the basket in which she collected dandelions. She saw the basket that was perfectly sitting in the field, she wanted to leave it there, but so what was the point of coming up everything and leaving the same thing for which she came first. A difficult decision to do. You may think what is the big problem by picking up the basket, but you will soon see that it should have left it alone.

Someone called the police

An employee named Tanner worked in the boys club and girls. He looked at Martha from the distance. It was his Martha shadow saw some time ago. What did he do in the building? And why did he not introduce to Martha? This is because he saw Martha enter the private property with a knife in his hand, he went a little suspicious of her. He tried to keep the distance. When she picked up dandelions, Tanner called the police.

911! What is your urgency?

Tanner called the number of the police department. He was in his office when he used the call. He stood behind the curtain, looking at Martha entering the building and what is it? A knife? His first thought was the reason why this woman entered the private property and that too, with a knife in her hand. What is his plan? Just because she is old, you can not ignore the threat.

Need to report

Tanner told the police operator of a lady entering the property belonging to the boys club and girls and himself. He told the operator that he was an employee there and he was afraid because the old lady had a knife in his hand. The operator took note of the knife and said to Tanner that the police would really come soon and he should stay inside the building. Then he waited ...

Behind the curtain

Tanner who was hiding behind the curtain looked at Martha. He could see that the lady entered the property with a knife and a basket by hand. For a moment, he even thought of blowing the situation of the proportion, but you can not be more aware of the situation. In today's time, everything was possible. There have been several cases in the past that made the general public more aware and vigilant about their environment and their people.

A reminder

Tanner who was still in the building, hidden behind the curtain was stunned to hear the telephone ring. He picked up the phone and this time it was a different operator. He asked questions about the situation. "This lady walks on the bike path, she has a knife and she will not leave," said Tanner at the operator in a call placed around 16:30. "She told me she does not speak English and continues to walk on the trail with a knife."

What is the status?

The operator asked about the old lady. "She is old, so she can not move too well, but it looks like she walks for something, like, vegetation to cut or something," said Tanner to the operator. The problem was that the operator has no threat of such. Every Martha was was to pick up dandelions. But then if someone signals a situation, he is the duty of the police to look at it.

What else can you say?

When asked if Martha tried to attack him or harm it anyway, Tanner said, "No, she just brought the knife on the ownership of her hand. She did not try to attack someone or anything. "The operator then contacted the nearest patrol officers to examine the situation.

Copy?

The police operator contacted the head of the Chatsworth Police Department, who then sent the complaint to two officers closest to the scene. They were told the situation where an old lady was involved and wearing a knife. It was the knife that gave everyone the thrills. They continued to think if Martha was right there to pick up the greens or something else was in his mind. Soon, the children would arrive and the police wanted to solve the situation before any municipality begins.

The children were on the way

When Martha entered the property, there was no one with the exception of Tanner. The children would soon take their classes and the police did not want any major episode if there were. Tanner told them that few children would attend their classes in a while and he did not want the children to get involved in any of that. His concern was genuine. But the main concern was Martha. Was it even a concern? Or was it simply responsive to react? Martha was not prepared for what happened next to her.

The last location

Two officers and the chief of the Chatsworth Police Department arrived at the Boys Club and Girls. They met Tanner who reported the incident and put him the last location where he saw Martha. He pointed to the ground where she picked up dandelions.

Busy Martha

Martha who was now aware that the shadow she saw was the employee of boys and club girls, Tanner. She was relieved as she thought there was nothing to fear. Indeed, there was not but then Tanner took the situation to another level. She always picked up dandelions. She was not even aware that there were two policemen with the chief of the Chatsworth Police Department. Things were about to make a bad trick now.

On stage

The 87-year-old stains were not a great task. She seemed calm and was busy collecting dandelions. Honestly, the police did not see anything wrong in the situation. The police have an eye to see the wrong situation of distance, it was not one of them. But then the orders are orders. They did what they felt right when they saw the knife in his hand.

Verbal warning

The two officers had no intention of hurting Martha. They did not have firearms upside down her as they just sought a verbal warning. Remember, she had a hearing problem. When the police have issued the verbal warning, Martha did not seem to understand what they were trying to say. So she just continued to cut.

Once again

Martha did not have what the officers were trying to tell him. She did not pay a lot of attention. She was busy cutting dandelions. The officers did not know she was not able to hear them. They thought they did not know the police warning that was more than enough to raise suspicion. They shouted the verbal warning again and again the same answer.

Mimic

The officers then threw their own pocket knife on the floor. They did the same thing, but Martha was not going to have anything. It seemed like a stupid shudder game that literally went very bad at that time. Martha could not understand anything. For a moment, she looked at the police to see what was happening with them, but for her, there was nothing to understand. They were trying to tell him that she should drop the knife that was in her hand. But then they came out of their firearms.

Police

"We continued to tell him to drop the knife. The female will look at us. His behavior was calm, we see each other with our firearms [dizziness], "one of the police recalled the incident. What would you do if a police officer points to a firearm even if he Acts with a pistol paralyzing? Obviously, you might be afraid of that, is not it? But Martha was calm. In his mind, she had nothing wrong. Indeed she did not have it Not done. What happened then with it was a simple case of misunderstandings that could happen with anyone.

Martha took action

Even if it was not able to understand what was happening with the police who were standing with darkening firearms to her. She could always feel the discomfort. She then did something she had the impression of being right. What are you doing when you are not able to hear what the other person is trying to say? You get closer to you, right? She did the same thing without hidden intention. She should not have.

Closer

Martha started heading to the police and the knife was still in his hand. The knife raised the eyebrows. On the one hand, it was Martha who just wanted to know what was happening with the officers, and on the other hand there were two police officers who have just seen an old lady walking towards them with a knife in her hand . It was more than enough for the police to act. So they did it!

Police actions

The police saw Martha as a threat because she was heading towards her with a knife in her hand. The knife was tight in his hands that could easily be uncomfortable. One of the police officers pulled his tannate and the moment when the 87-year-old Martha was on the ground where his whole body was immobilized because of the current.

You are under arrest

The police then handcuffed Martha, who literally trembled the event. She had no idea what just happened with her. She was both terrified and confused. It was just a simple misunderstanding. The police could have come closer to her to learn about their doubts. There was no need to jump.

The whole neighborhood knew that something happened in their area. They learned that a 87-year-old woman was arrested. But why did the police stop? And who was the woman? Someone told them it was Martha. And the reason for his arrest was something that no one believed in. In a way, she was behind the bar waiting for her trial.

Chief of police again
