The word baw in the beginning insinuated it was a joke as it usually does on TD. I forgive you for not understanding though. Now, keep on studying big guy, you’ll pass that E.I. one day!

Apparently a man had one of these radio holsters and someone thought he was carrying a gun.

95% of Foreman or Work Coordinators wear these in the field. They have been around for +10 years. The person that called this in is an idiot.

Must have been someone’s first day if they thought that.

An "office type" saw the guy wearing the radio holster and China flu mask coming through the turnstile and panicked.

So it turns out it was a lady who was at the PITT building interviewing for a job that called the police. Safe to say she probably won’t be hired

She wasn't interviewing for a job. She was checking in the people who were interviewing. And for those calling her stupid, she was an older lady from the front offices. If she's not used to seeing radio vests and a mask covering his face, it's easier to see why she acted upon it.

there was no mask covering his face. just wearing a radio harness. just like anyone else on site that carries radios.

seems like one of the $10/hr security employees "jumped the gun" by reporting a threat to local sheriff dept/swat instead of verifying what was reported to them by looking at the security camera.
