Musical Cops
This is what my boys saw yesterday morning. Im sorry I missed it, I was at work.
Bubba and Dinky were getting ready for school. Bubba heard a ruckus outside and peeked his head out the door to see what was happening. It was (I promise Im not making this up) a police car cruising slowly down the the street, blaring the theme from Star Wars over its loud speaker. You know, the dramatic one where you see all the stormtroopers. Bubba started laughing hysterically.
Some time later, out in the street walking to school, Bubba and Dinky spotted the cop car slowly cruising by again... this time blasting Ride Of The Valkyrie out of their loud speakers. The officers were looking quite serious and authoritative. Bubba and Dinky were just beside themselves with laughter. The cops seemed offended and gave them a dirty look, which of course did nothing to stop the laughter.
Im really curious to know what those cops were doing. Between this and the miniature parade I saw one night

(and thats only the stuff I know about) Im beginning to suspect the cops in Vegas are just as nutty as everyone else here.
9 words of wisdom and smart remarks:
That is very strange, indeed! I didn't know cops were allowed to even do that.
Orhan - I don't think they are allowed to. I told one of the security people at my work, and she said those were some very unprofessional cops.
That's truly weird... I love it:)
Art - yeah, what in the world were they thinking? :D
I tried to find out if there was anything out in cyberspace mentioning such a tactic, (was it some kind of tactic for a legitimate police operation?) but I didn't find anything. It does sound weird.
Keep the stories coming. You're one of the few that makes regular everyday life exciting. It probably is for many of us, but we don't notice it enough. Your awareness is refreshing.
Peace!
Wow, that makes me just as curious as you. Maybe it's their way of making their presence known; kind of like the ice cream man. Keep us posted.
Spadoman - I tried finding something about it on the internet too, and got nothing. I have heard that some malls are using un-cool music to chase away loitering teenagers. Something tells me though that the police department might not necessarily approve of what those cops did.
Anbbel - I don't know what the message would be, other than maybe they were hoping it would make them sound big and bad and ominous. (Hee-hee!)
I'll keep you posted if I can, but this is the sort of thing I don't really expect to see too often, if ever. Would be weird if it became a fad though. :D
I know this sounds insane, but maybe they weren't real cops? Just a thought.
Just Me - hm, I hadn't thought of that. I guess it's as good as any other explanation. Scared to think what else they could be up to if that's the case.
