A police chief had a fresh personal story to share with the crowd at a peace rally last week in Florida. Miami Gardens Chief Delma Noel-Prat said that the streets need to be taken back: “Just today, I could’ve lost my daughter,” she said. “Today she had a gun stuck in her face.” Noel-Prat’s daughter was working the drive-thru window at a Starbucks when a customer came back to the window, screaming, after realizing there was no cream cheese in his order. When the chief’s 23-year-old daughter asked if he’d paid for cream cheese, he pulled out a gun.
… The customer drove away, but police arrested a 38-year-old man the next day after scouring security camera footage for a license plate number. He told police he didn’t threaten anyone but pulled his gun out because it was falling out of his pocket.
