The most cop cars I've ever seen was when I was driving up one side of a divided highway and a funeral procession for 2 cops was going down the other side. I didn't know why there was some many police cars, even though I knew of shooting. Some lunatic took his gun an attacked a police station less than a mile from where I work (I normally drive by it on the way in), killed a male and a female cop before they killed him. The killer went to the same HS that the guy who shot up Virginia Tech went to, only two years apart so they might have known each other. Anyway their where police as far as the eye could see driving down the street, it must have been miles long. I heard that some distant acquaintance of my brother thought it would be a good time to commit some crime because the cops would be busy, but I understand that he got caught.
