13. I had something like that happen to me.

But not with guns and all. I was sitting in traffic, two lanes at a very busy intersection at a red light. I glanced over at a parking lot and noticed a big cop had apparently pulled a guy off into the parking lot.

The guy was running around his car, first in the trunk, then the front seat, then the back seat, back and forth ... then waving his hands in the air like really frustrated or something.

The cop just stood there watching him. Then, the cop saw me watching, so he stared at me, glaring and glaring at me. I looked back to see how the light was doing ... still red ... the cop saw me look back again and looked as if to say I'm coming for you MF'er. Anyways, the light changed about then and I drove on with all of the traffic. I have no idea what was going on there, but it was rather bizarre.
