I'm An On-Duty Ohio Deputy And This Security Guard Pulled A Gun On Me!

Idiot guard points his firearm at an Ohio deputy.

This happened in Toledo, Ohio, a city that is located 56 miles from Detroit and 100 miles from Cleveland. The population of the city at present time is 269,000 residents. It's called the Glass City.

It's one of the many rust belt cities in the state of Ohio. It's the fourth largest city in the state.

Toledo is a crossroad city. Interstate 75, 80 and 90 are the main roads that cover the city. The Ohio Turnpike is a tolled-freeway that is notable for it's direct routes towards Chicago, Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

A Lucas County boy who entered a federal building in uniform was accosted by a security guard. The guard told the county boy to remove his firearm before he entered the building. The county boy said he couldn't because he's on duty and it's conduct violation if he did. The guard didn't care. He followed the county boy throughout the federal building with his firearm drawn. The county boy was calm and annoyed at best.

A person called 911 and the rest of the county boys arrived. The guard was soon arrested for menacing and false imprisonment.

Here's the kicker....the county boy was Black and the security guard was White.

Lucas County deputy Alan Gaston stopped by an IRS office in Toledo to ask about a letter he had received in the mail. The deputy was dressed in his full sheriff's office uniform with his badge and firearm clearly visible when he entered the office.

The guard who was named as Seth Eklund pulled his firearm on Gaston after telling the deputy that he had to lock his gun in his car before entering the office.

Gaston told him directly, while on duty, he must have it on him. As Gaston was leaving the facility, the security guard decided to keep his finger on the trigger. The guard followed him with firearm drawn the whole time.

Several officers would soon respond to scene after someone called the law. The person who called the law didn't say to the operator that the person inside was a deputy.

Gaston, a defensive tactics instructor said the whole time, he remained calm. He basically saw that the guard was an idiot and knew that he wasn't going to be killed.

In full uniform, Lucas County boy Alan Gaston enters the IRS. Within a few minutes his whole life changes.

"I was basically preparing myself to be shot at that moment. Bracing for a shot in my back. There's really no way to know how you're going to act when there's a gun pointed at you and when you think you're going to lose your life."

When they talked to the guard, the idiot said that, "He's got a gun and he won't leave."

They looked at him with that "You got to be kidding me" look and then proceeded to leave. The county prosecutor would soon order a state charge against the guard for this.

Now the guard who was later fired from his job was charged with aggravated menacing and false imprisonment. He will be in the courtroom soon.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Gaston also filed a lawsuit against the guard and the company he worked for. He said that he suffered emotional and psychological distress from this encounter.

Mind you that Gaston was in full authority to use deadly force against the guard. It would be an unfortunate, "What happened to" situation but I am clearly going for the deputy on this one.

If cops come into a business to buy a product, use the restroom, get money from a bank, or enter a school building while in uniform, they have to acknowledge that they're on-duty. Yeah, some cops are pushing the limits on how far that badge will go. Yes, you are not allowed to be in a federal building with a firearm. That's clear as day. But if you're in law enforcement and you're acknowledging that you're on duty, the guards must allow that officer safe passage.

It falls under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004 (LEOSA). The law requires active on-duty or retired officers to retain firearms whenever they are necessary means. That means if the officer is in uniform and enters a federal building with a firearm, he is granted limited access to a place where it allowed. He is required to be competent while in possession of a firearm.

LEOSA allows qualified officers to protect themselves, their families and the community by being armed while off duty.

BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

AGAIN, THAT RUSSIAN-BACKED BLUE LIVES MATTER CROWD WANTS TO JUSTIFY THE DETAINMENT OR KILLING OF PEOPLE OF COLOR AS US OVERREACTING AND PLAYING THE "RACE CARD" TO HATE ON THOSE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE NOT HATING ON LAW ENFORCEMENT. WE JUST NOT GOING TO ALLOW OURSELVES BECOME THE NEXT HASHTAG WHEN WE DIE. 

I AM SICK OF HEARING THIS BULLSHIT.

CONSERVATIVES (AS WELL AS COONSERVATIVES AND FAR-WHITE TROLLS) SAY THAT THERE ARE MORE BLACK CHILDREN LIVING IN SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLDS WITHOUT A FATHER.

IT'S FUNNY! WHEN SOMEONE SHOOTS AN UNARMED MAN OF COLOR, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE CHILD'S FATHER.

WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN AND WOMEN OF COLOR SAFE.

WE NEED TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THESE RACE SOLDIERS WHO BELIEVE THE BADGE OR ENTITLEMENT IS THEIR WEAPON OF CHOICE.

Need I repeat myself. I might as well continue to do so. Obviously, some aren't getting the message.
