While riding with Delaware on the freeway, on the opposite side of traffic, the cars were backed up because a cop was blocking the highway with his car. Now, he had good reason to do so because there was a man in his underwear (and nothing else) standing on the side of the highway. Now, these highways aren't small or flanked by grass or woods. Each direction has about 6-8 lanes of traffic, and are usually surrounded by concrete barriers, fences or mountains. This particular stretch of highway had a flimsy, chain link fence dividing the highway from a service street and this guy was standing on the highway side of the dividing fence.
So the police officer spoke through his megaphone and told him to get off the freeway. Then the guy sat down on the ground. If cars were coming he would have seriously been injured. The police officer kept creeping closer to him in his car and telling him to get off the freeway, eventually making a barrier between him and the other cars that were starting to go around the police car.
I don't know how that all ended, because like I said, we were on the opposite side and while traffic was slow it was still moving. I prayed for the guy and hope whatever made him get out there on the freeway is or will be rectified.
Yesterday, right in front of my apartment, I saw a man going...however fast he was going, and a police officer on a motorcycle in the lane beside him using his megaphone to tell the driver that he was not going 35mph. He talked to the guy for quite a few feet...like they were having a conversation, but the guy just kept going whatever speed he wanted. I was wondering why the cop didn't just pull him over, but it was entertaining.
Only in LA, I guess.
