In broad daylight on Friday the 13th, Fairfax County Police opened fire on an unarmed man amidst heavy traffic.
David A. Masters, a cabinet maker and former green beret reportedly stole some flowers from a planter outside a business. He got in his green SUV and drove away. A shopowner called in the ‘very serious’ (for real, they were flowers) offense and Fairfax county pigs caught up to him on Route 1. Masters refused to stop his vehicle but got caught in traffic just south of the beltway, leading the pigs on a very slow speed chase. This refusal to stop, in traffic, prompted the pigs to shoot and kill Masters. He was 52.
