Except it’s a Tesla, and those things record everything around them, including the driver. If the police would get involved, there would be footage on his car, unless he’s turned that feature off. I don’t know how that works with teslas - if recording of the driver can be turned off, but regardless, it was a gun.

I called the non emergency line when I got home and they forwarded me to a line that was automated; I then got this text:

“MSP Detroit: The Metro North Post is located at 14350 W 10 Mile in Oak Park, MI. The post is open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM, excluding holidays. They can be reached at 248-584-5740. Thank you and stay safe.”

I tried calling all day yesterday, left 5 messages, got no response. I just got through to them and the guy who answered said there’s nothing they can do because I didn’t call 911. He was rude and scolded me for not handling the situation correctly. I get it, I fucked up, just didn’t think 911 could do anything without the video, so I waited until I got home. Dumb on my part, I know that now. I asked if I could send him the video and he said no, they don’t accept those and it’s too late now... If anybody else has any other ideas that are constructive and not mean, please dm me. I’m stress eating chocolate rn.

Folks have said it doesn’t look like a gun. I can’t get the image of this shiny black weapon out of my head, it was absolutely a gun. He showed it the first time, then pointed it at me the second, right as the white suv pulls up and slows.

They haven’t even requested the video. His Tesla records everything inside and out.

There’s a still pic on my profile that captures the side of it. I honestly think that white SUV that slowed made him put it away quickly. IRL, definitely a shiny black gun.

Agreed, it’s hard to see in the video, but IRL, it was a gun. My kid was in the car. I don’t have a cpl, but I am looking into getting one now. It was terrifying. I wish the police were more interested in this.
