Yesterday was crazy. About halfway home I was headed south and I noticed a couple cop cars headed north. No big deal. I passed through a stop sign and hit a red light. As I was waiting for the light to change, I heard more cops going north through the stop sign. I looked back and saw a van stopped towards the right side of the road with a cop stuck behind it. The cop was obviously trying to get through, not pull the van over, but the van just kept sitting there. The funny thing is that the cop had plenty of room to get through. I'm not sure who was being dumber in that situation. Finally the van moved a little and the cop went through. I got a good laugh out of that and then the light changed. Rubberneckers slowed things down just enough that I just missed my turn arrow.

I heard more sirens as I was waiting for the next green light. All of the sudden the cops were headed south, not north. Just as my light turned green a good 5+ cars came from behind to pass. A white car was in front, and I wasn't sure if it was being chased or if it was an unmarked police car. If it was being chased the driver must have had some pretty big balls to drive on the wrong side of the road like that. By the time everyone had passed I was left with just enough time to sprint through the intersection and hit the Monon Trail. As I was on the trail I heard tons and tons of sirens.

I didn't know what to make of the whole situation. I was thinking I had witnessed a chase, but I wasn't sure. It turns out that I was right: http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dl...=2008801180416
