Po-pos a go-go
So i normally don't call police officers po-pos, but i couldn't resist the title. i have been desperate for groceries, so i woke up this morning, threw on some clothes, grabbed my list and a package of pop tarts for the road, and off i went. on my 10 minute drive home, there were 2 wrecks... and swarms of cops. the first one was just as i was trying to turn back onto the main road. one car rear ended the other. 2 squad cars, and a very poor plan for moving the vehicles. during the first left turn light, the police blocked the road (with the butts of their squad cars) so cars had piled up prohibiting the turn. second left turn light, the police stepped into the intersection to stop all traffic and direct the second wrecked vehicle onto the side road... just as i had rolled forward into the intersection to turn. so now i was stuck like a dumbass in the middle of the intersection. turned out ok, though, because i didn't have to wait for yet another turn signal. then a couple intersections down the road i passed another wreck. again, it appeared to be a simple rear ending, but i only saw one car. there were, i kid you not, 5 squad cars lined up behind that one car. isn't that just a tad excessive guys? i know you're out in full force prepping for the memorial day weekend, but come on now. if there are so so many of you lining the streets that 5 of you witness the same wreck at the exact same time and all have to stop and render aid because of it, i think that's a few too many of you out on the streets. yes, that person in the wreck was probably happy that there was a cop in the area to help out, but 10 cops (5 cars, 2 per car) is a bit much. i'm just saying...
P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
