Def one of the most interesting commutes of my life this morning. I had just turned my bike onto Courtland when I heard police sirens coming from behind me. I then noticed that several cop cars were coming towards me on Courtland [keep in mind that this is a one way road]. I pulled over to the right side of the road to avoid getting hit + heard a loud crash behind me. I turned to see a white sedan rolling across the street w/o a driver in it + several cop cars right on it's tail. All of the cops jumped out of their car + started running towards Django. By this time two cop cars that were coming the wrong way on Courtland had screeched to a stop a few feet in front of me + had also joined the foot race. Some dude had apparently been getting chased by the cops, gotten rammed by a cop car right behind me, jumped out of his moving vehicle + made a run for it.
I saw the guy cut through a parking lot + begin to run up the back stairs of Django w/ several cops behind him when a few of them pulled their guns + demanded that he put his hands up...after which he made what was most likely his first good decision in the past few hours. Anyway - all of this happened w/n a 50-100 ft range of me + my bike during my usual morning commute: pretty crazy.
