The other day, Anna and I were on our way to the rock climbing gym, about to turn onto Hudson ave, when we saw a cop put on its lights and siren and drive through the light.

No big deal.

But then we noticed that there was another one nearby, and he turned on his lights and siren. So did the cop behind him, and the one behind him.

We turned the corner onto Hudson and drove along. Sirens started to fill the air, and we saw another few cops fly by. I tried to pull over, but drivers are stupid and ignorant and they don't know you're supposed to pull over, so the person in the right lane wouldn't let me in. I put on my blinkers and slowed down at least, as a cop flew by.

As we came upon Summit, I could see that they had blocked it off. I couldn't tell which direction the sirens were coming from at this point. The Summit & Hudson light was red, so I stopped. I saw a cop running with his gun drawn and pointed at a mess of confusion. Anna saw a half-dozon cops in a pile, presumably piled on top of someone.

So the light turned green. I could hear sirens and there was another cop van coming up behind me. I wanted to go through the intersection, but I couldn't tell what directions there might be more cops coming from.

Anna and I agreed that it would be best to get away from the guns.

But as I tried to go through the intersection, I had to wonder if there was a cop flying through, about to sideswipe me. Even if he had his siren on, I couldn't tell what direction the sirens were coming from at this point, it was all I could hear.

I looked both ways and punched it. Went through the intersection without encountering any more cop cars.

The next day I read an online news site that said there was some kind of jewel heist and that this was a related arrest, that the suspect had a .375 Magnum nearby or something.
