Yesterday during my rush hour trip home two Cleveland Police cars got on the highway in front of me at the West 6th street ramp.  They were about 6 cars in front of me.  They immediately pulled parallel to each other, one in each of the lanes, and then put on their flashers and slowed to 40 miles an hour.

Everyone slammed on there brakes as there was no warning, and traffic immediately started backing up behind them (and well behind me).  I had hoped, maybe, they were doing this because there was an accident up ahead I didn’t know about.  That made sense in my mind.  What didn’t make sense is when they got to the Whiskey Island exit, turned off their flashers and pulled off the highway and slowly drove towards the Edgewater park parking lot.

If there was an emergency or accident why were they going well below the speed limit.  At any given moment they were 10 mph or more below the speed limit.  And why did they shut off their lights as soon as they pulled off the highway and proceed even slower to the parking lot.  And if there wasn’t an emergency that means they were just being dicks and wanted to fuck with rush hour traffic.  I wasn’t close enough to read the numbers on their cars, but I was close enough to be extremely pissed at their meaningless actions.
