I am still scratching my head at her rendition that the cop, with his gun drawn, allowed her to go to the building at all. Everytime I watch CSI or Law and Order, and see the cops with their guns drawn, civilians aren't any where near the premises. They aren't allowed.

I can't believe that the situation was so dire- remember, gun drawn, waving it everywhere- yet a person was allowed to go retrieve a pet from the building? Sounds a little different from what I see on TV. Course, TV is the only thing I can relate this to, since IRL, nothing like this sort of thing happens to me. Not even close.
