I just came home to go to work (this morning), then have to go back pet sitting, then work my other job as well. I pulled out of the little subdivision where I petsit and right away I saw 4 cop cars driving around. Now many would say thats no big deal. But here its usually a big deal. Nothing normally happens, and you never see cops rarely. I mean in my town I havent seen a cop in 6 years. I kept driving and saw 3 more sitting on the side of the road, and walk down the road. I kept driving and saw 6 more and now Im scratching my head wondering whats going on something good.

Thank goodness for safe neighborhoods. If something important is going on, you'll hear about it on the evening news. It is best to keep moving and stay out of their way when you see a gaggle of cops; you don't want to get in their way nor put yourself in danger.

If you don't usually see cops in cars driving around I'd bet there is a new Tim Horton's just opened and they are looking for their morning donuts and coffee. I often wonder what the cops did before there were any Tim Horton's in these little towns? I bet they were a lot thinner then than they are now!

I almost peed myself reading this but its so true. I use to work at Tim Hortons and they would literally spend all night in there until they got a call. They must of been so bored and not as fat.

Yeah I rarely see cops around anymore again. Other than the fact when they almost run you down due to their reckless driving when they are trying to walk through the park. But that's beside the point. Of course, that might actually be sensible, given that if cops are seen, then people will be a bit more careful but if they are not seen, then people will get caught easier. Of course, unless there is is a city with a higher crime rate, I think that cops would be a rare thing. If they show up, it is rather odd. For some people in other cities, they just really shrug their shoulders right there, but in some places, where cops seem rather scarce it is an event. Any time a crime happens here, you would think that something out of this world has occurred.

Nope, just saw the cop cars and nothing more. Usually they have the fire department, ambulance just to make it all exciting, and give them something to do.

There must something happened in there that you must know right away that way you can stay away from danger. Try to look also the news if there's a news about it. If there's nothings wrong nothing to be scared of. Just stay safe friend.

Maybe they are getting ready for a raid or perhaps they are setting up a check point or road block for an incident that happened elsewhere. It's also possible that if they are on the road that some big guy is going to pass by so they are doing it for security reasons.

I've been really curious about what's going on here. If you seldom see a cop for years,and now suddenly a bunch of cops appear in your neighborhood, that must be something huge.It would be highly appreciate if you could figure out what's going on and share with us.thank you…^_^~
