Driving home the other day, I was passed by 20 cop cars from county, city, and state jurisdictions all using lights and sirens. I then came to a blockade of the road, which lasted for about 15 minutes.
The reason for this? According to the paper, there was a road rage incident where a young person had pointed a gun at the other driver.
Back in the 1980s, there was a band called (The?) Bored Cops, which was a direct reference to local cops. I guess nothing has changed.
