Personal Narrative: The Interrogation Room
After four gruesome hours, he finally arrived at the interrogation room with blistering feet, swollen creaking knees, throbbing shoulders from the brutal handcuffs, and drenched in sweat for he still wore his heavy green turtleneck and suit jacket. The burly guards slammed him down in a wooden chair. The room, dimly lit by a lone overhead lightbulb, felt cold and smelled vaguely of mold and salsa. A short police detective tottered in and set down a hefty mound of paperwork. While examining the first few pages, the detective introduced himself while audibly chomping on a massive wad of grape Big League Chew, “I am Staff Sergeant Calvin. My last name was removed due to a clerical error after my birth, and my parents never bothered to correct …show more content…
One snatched his mountain of paperwork, and the other two escorted him hastily out of the odd smelling room. They guided Harambe down a long hallway, which smelled strongly of dark bitter coffee. The officers crammed him into a tiny old rickety elevator, and hit the “G” button. Each second on the elevator passed ever so slowly, and the perpetual sense of getting trapped became more and more plausible. Finally, the rusted elevator doors creaked open, and copious amounts of sunlight flooded each of their eyes. They blindly stumbled out onto the busy sidewalk of …show more content…
The beast inside Harambe awoke. He unforgivingly backed one officer into the reddish brick wall with ease. His head banged against the rough surface of the brick, and promptly knocked him unconscious. The remaining officer, now in front got a swift bicycle kick to the balls by Harambe, the former striker for the USC men’s soccer team. The officer bent over and collapsed on the concrete floor of the alley, writhing in inconceivable pain. Harambe thrusted his handcuffed wrists beneath his feet and elevated them back to a normal position. He fumbled through the unconscious officer’s keys and after numerous failed attempts, he managed to jimmy the constricting handcuffs off. With one policeman still squirming in agony on the ground and the other knocked unconscious, Harambe reached into the other officer’s holster and pulled out a Glock 22. Without hesitation, Harambe paused, thinking through the situation for a brief moment, then mercilessly shot both officers though their skulls with the pistol. He glanced cautiously out of the alley, peering down the south side of the street. Before walking out, Harambe remembered the police officers said something about a squad car three blocks north, so he scampered back to the lifeless bodies. Rummaging through their keys, he found the right one, a silver shaft and black bow indented with the famous Ford

    A Cleveland detective (McFadden), on a downtown beat which he had been patrolling for many years, observed two stranger on a street corner. He saw them proceed alternately back and forth along an identical route, pausing to stare in the same store window, which they did for a total of about 24 times. Each completion of the route was followed by a conference between the two on a corner, at one of which they were joined by a third man who left swiftly. Suspecting the two men of "casing a job, a stick-up," the officer followed them and saw them rejoin the third man a couple of blocks away in front of a store. The officer approached the three, identified himself as a policeman, and asked their names. The men "mumbled something," whereupon McFadden spun petitioner around, patted down his outside clothing, and found in his overcoat pocket, but was unable to remove, a pistol. The officer ordered the three into the store. He removed petitioner's overcoat, took out a revolver, and ordered the three to face the wall with their hands raised. He patted down the outer clothing of Chilton and Katz and seized a revolver from Chilton's outside overcoat pocket. He did not put his hands under the outer garments of Katz (since he discovered nothing in his pat-down which might have been a weapon), or under petitioner's or Chilton's outer garments until he felt the guns. The three were taken to the police station. Petitioner and Chilton were charged with carrying concealed weapons.…

    At approximately 2:30 in the afternoon, while patrolling a downtown beat in plain clothes, Detective McFadden observed two men (later identified as Terry and Chilton) standing on a street corner. The two men walked back and forth an identical route a total of 24 times, pausing to stare inside a store window. After the completion of walking the route, the two men would meet on the corner; on several occasions the two men were joined by a third man (Katz), who left very quickly. Detective McFadden had specifically worked this downtown beat for 30 years concentrating on shoplifters, pickpocketers and suspected the men were going to hold up the store. Detective McFadden approached the three men and asked them for their names. The men mumbled something and Detective McFadden spun Terry around, patted down the outside of his clothing and found a pistol. Detective McFadden was unable to remove the pistol and ordered all three men in the store, to stand against a wall with their hands up. Once in the store the Detective removed Terry’s overcoat and secured the firearm. The Detective performed the same pat down on Chilton and Katz, neither time putting his hands under the outer garments of the suspects, until he felt a gun and at which time he was removing the gun for his and others safety. Detective McFadden seized and removed a revolver from the outer garment of Chilton.…

    Despite the dimmed lights, I vividly recall seeing the dark red wine-like blood slowly trickling down my poor mother’s pale complexion as she desperately ventured to defend herself any way she possibly could. In agonistic shouts she demanded I flee the claustrophobic upstairs bedroom my 2 siblings and I shared. But I couldn’t. The overwhelming fear simply paralyzed every fiber of muscle in my scrawny 6 year old body and stopped any attempts I made in aiding my helpless mother. I merely managed to cowardly curl into a protective ball against the furthest reaches of the room as I tensely witnessed these traumatic events unfold. The despicable assailant, Gustavo Arizmendi, was a former well known comrade of my father. From small talk on the job to sharing cold beers after a long day at work, they gradually formed a friendship over the years.…
