M4 Stops an Attack
My job takes me to some of the worst places in the city. One essential component to my job is a good flashlight that's why I always carry a SureFire M4 Devastator and a 6P LED. I work the night shift as an armed security professional in the city of Detroit, clearing commercial buildings when there alarm system has been breeched. I enter warehouses, factories, schools, stores-you name it. We're required to work alone until back up is needed. One night I had a run in on the lower southwest side of Detroit. Someone had driven a car through the front window of a furniture store and entered the premises to loot the contents. After I had cleared the building I was waiting for the key holder to show up. I noticed something out of the corner of my eye in the alley. Someone was riding a bike down the alley and then stopped about 50 yards from me, got off his bike, and started to have heated words with an older man sitting on the steps of an apartment building. The punk then kicked the older man in the face and continued to as he was falling. At that moment I yelled at him to back off with no avail. So quickly I reached into my patrol bag and grabbed my M4 and approached him. The M4 lit up the entire ally and that alone was enough to make him immediately stop. He got on his bike and left. A neighbor offered to take the older man to the hospital. Two weeks had gone by and I had the same run again. As I was coming out of the building with my partner the older man was outside waiting to thank me for helping him. He told me that things would have certainly been a lot worse if I didn't help him. He was thankful to be alive. My M4 Devastator may have saved someone's life.
