Brain leaks and musings by "Mr. Boomsma," educator and authorThis is not a political post. It’s a very short story that happened in less time than it takes to tell it. The story is true, but I would note it happened nearly forty-five years ago—in a very different time. This also did not happen in Maine.It was late at night, and I was driving to our new home. It was located on a state highway. I was driving slowly so I wouldn’t miss the left turn into the driveway.Just as I spotted the turn, blue lights began flashing close behind me. I flipped on the left-turn signal and continued into my darkened driveway. When I stopped, I realized the blue lights were now at the end of the driveway, but not in it.Remembering there was a switch on the outside of the dark home, I jumped out of the car and ran for it.When the light came on, I turned to see a state trooper approaching with his hand on his still holstered weapon. I would guess thirty seconds had transpired since the blue lights started flashing. During those thirty seconds, I made several decisions.  In retrospect, most of them were wrong. I should have known better. The story could have ended differently.The officer didn’t actually draw his weapon, and the situation de-escalated quickly. He and I actually had a pleasant, somewhat lengthy conversation about the incident. We shared our perspectives on what had happened. I didn’t get a ticket. I don’t recall him asking for my license and registration. I do remember his handshake when we parted. To this day, I appreciate the fact that we shared our perspectives.I didn’t think to ask if my out-of-state plate was a factor. I knew I wasn’t speeding—if anything, I was driving slowly. What I didn’t know was that I had a taillight out. In fact, when the blue lights started flashing, it crossed my mind that the trooper wanted to get past me, and I should get out of the way.When I realized that was not the case, my first thought was to shed some light on the situation. Flipping the switch actually meant the entire driveway would be lit. It all makes sense, at least until you understand what the officer was thinking during the same thirty seconds. What should have been a routine traffic stop became something else.As he explained, my left turn signal was not what he expected when he turned on his lights. He knew it was a driveway, not a street. He didn’t know my intention or what would happen if he followed me into the driveway with his cruiser. Instead, he blocked the end of my driveway by parking on the wrong side of the highway. Then he saw me get out of my car and hurry away. At that point, he was out of the cruiser and thinking he might have to give chase.Remember, this all happened fast, with both of us making almost instantaneous decisions.While I’m not usually interested in blame, I made more mistakes than he did. The first one was turning into the driveway. I should have turned on my right turn signal and pulled over safely on the side of the highway.My second mistake was getting out of the vehicle. The only reason it made sense (to me) to do so was that I’d already made the first mistake. I threw several curves at him, signaling that things would not be predictable or routine. If anything, I could be surprised he hadn’t drawn his weapon, except I know most LEOs are not anxious to do so,  often at their own peril.This is not a story about authority and power. It’s a story about communication. My actions that night might seem very logical, but those actions communicated something that wasn’t true. It’s almost trite to say, “Actions speak louder than words,” but in tense situations, what we do counts.;
