 Saw police cars (flashing emergency lights) blocking the right traffic lane (with one police car hopped over the sidewalk), so it gave me time to pull out the P&S as I was merging to the left lane. Snapped a quick pic of the cars. (No crop, minimal editing.)

I caught the stop light and took a pic out the passenger window (minimal crop, minimal editing). The police were dealing with the guy in the bus shelter. Looked like they were just talking to him so far. I thought it was amusing that police and the guy had their arms crossed. Life in the city, my light turned green...off I went. It's like watching COPS on TV but I left the TV in the middle of it.

For some reason, it really doesn't seem as tho the bus stop guy is in a lot of trouble. Neither officer seems to be in a protective stance so the bus stop guy doesn't seem to be a big threat. Boy would I really like to know what is going on here!

Good timing for you to be there at the right moment to get this scene.

Nice capture. Don't know if it was intentional or not, but I like the way the shot is framed by the window and the side mirror.

Would have been interesting to have been able to go back a couple of minutes later and see what happened.
