Who was that armed man?
I was sitting in Cheesecakes by Alex this morning, drinking a cup of coffee with a reporter when a man came in, took off his coat and I saw the pistol, holstered, attached to his belt.
I'm not sure he was a cop. I assume he was, being so brazen about showing what I hoped was his service weapon. He was in plain clothes and was big and broad. He wore shoes that looked like shoes a cop would wear, shoes that would be comfortable when walking, standing and going places another person might normally not go.
Still, I found myself wishing that I wasn't sitting with my back to him.
