LOL! My brother was at a ‘cop convention’ in South Carolina several years back. He was getting ready to pull out of a parking lot when a guy turning in front of him turned in too much and hit his car. The dude jumped out of the car and ran into the hotel, followed closely by my bro. He ran through the convention center and picked door number three, behind which happened to be 300 SC SWAT cops. By the time my brother got to the door, the poor dude had been swarmed by about a dozen of those big, scary guys. Turned out he had stolen his car about ten minutes before smashing my brother’s.
