And uh when we pulled them over, this was on the lane on the back seat. The other one was on the floor of the passenger seat. >> I'm not trying to be a smart ass or anything. I mean, I know my rights. No, I didn't shoot nothing. >> That's what we're going to get to the bottom of. >> No, I I completely understand. I mean, again, they're 100% legal. I don't, you know, shouldn't be detained over this. >> It's not legal when you shoot at someone. >> No, I shouldn't have had them in the car. That was a stupid mistake, but it's not matter of being too old to play with them cuz you still legally buy them. Where I live, there's like 4 acres of woods. We go out there and play with them. Well, I shouldn't have had them in the car. >> It's acceptable to have them out there, but you understand like >> You know, again, I mean, you know, if I was really like the Uzi like the Uzi It's a Mac-11. >> A Mac-11? >> We didn't see the orange tip there and you were >> I understand that.

And then that's when I saw the African-American male walk to this vehicle, get inside the passenger side. This This gentleman was the driver at the time in which I saw those white BBs shot in our direction. >> All right, based on that, they're going to be taken into custody for assault by means of a dangerous weapon. >> Okay. >> What's that? >> He has no idea what he's talking about. When you're not a official police officer and you're a college cop, whatever gets your rocks off. >> You hit them six times with a >> Who did? >> You guys did. >> The officer from Northshore Community College. He has the He has the BBs in the evidence bag. >> Let me see the marks on him if I hit him. Look at my back. You see a mark? Yeah, cuz I We were We were going out. I wouldn't let somebody shoot me.

So, what What was going on tonight? Why are you riding around with those in the car? >> I wasn't Listen, I wasn't with him when he shot the North Shore cop. He just picked me up a few a few like 30 minutes ago. He picked me up and said, "You want to go take a ride with me?" I said, "Fine." >> Well, how about the North Shore campus officer said I D'd you as being at the McGee building. >> That's what I'm saying. I wasn't there. I don't even go to North Shore.

These are They're plastic, but they still can do some damage to somebody if you get hit with them. We're going to uh take this all back to the station, be inventoried, and then uh entered into evidence. And hopefully we get them off and not shooting anybody anymore. >> Before I was a cop, I used to make films in front of the camera behind the camera. And then I became a cop, and it's amazing how I have to use the same skill set because every person you make contact with, you have to create this character of who they are able to talk to and who it is they want to see. >> So, we're going to check out a car that's parked up here. There's two people sitting inside of it. No one's inside the driver seat. And it look just looks a little off. So, we're going to get out and see what they're up to.
