Back to Normal

The past few months have been nothing but politics (what? There's no hockey) but now we're back to normal. To wit: the news out here in LA covered their first live police chase in a long time. It had it all - helicoptors, police cars, people on sidewalks cheering the perp on... except I suppose "chase" is too loose a term. Why?

Because the guy was stopping at stop signs. And not speeding.

It was less a "chase" and more a "following." The cops just sort of followed this car as it obeyed all traffic laws (well, except the one about pulling over when the cops tell you to). Then the guy finally got out, put his hands behind his head, and lay on the ground.

Ahh... highway chases and Lakers. This crap that passes for normalcy in LA is back.
