Twenty cop cars with full lights and sirens just whipped north on Woodward here at 6 Mile.
Anybody know what's going on? |

Yo, i Just saw this too like 15min ago at Davison and Livernois.. three cop cars stopped traffic while about 8 more unmarked cars went east on Davison, then a final car went north on Livernois along with the cops that were blocking traffic. Then at each intersection down Davison they stopped traffic. Strange. |

Maybe they're having one of their special "enforcements". |

Were the unmarked Detroit's or Federal? I've seen stuff like this a couple of times along I-94 near Metro - like they're looking for someone. |

In Phoenix the cops run some kind of rolling roadblock up I-17 when a VIP moves through town. They block entrance ramps in sequence so as to maintain a buffer around the motorcade. It's quite an impressive bit of radio-controlled automotive choreography.
I'm not saying that's what's happening here but the possibility is there. |

DPD does this for funerals of cops and others who hold positions of power in the city whenever they pass away.
Was there recently a cop killed? Could have been part of the funeral procession.
I was actually involved in one of these processions back in the day in Detroit for a cousin. It seemed like we probably disrupted traffic severely from the funeral down on Grand River and Warren up to the cemetary in Southfield.
It was quite a unique experience. |

Too bad a slob citizen doesn't get to see Detroit's finest when they call in a robbery or some other non violent crime. |

Or have to wait "at least" 2-3 hours for them to come. |

Need tax base to get cops.
Need residents to get tax base.
