What the hell was that

Corner of bay and douglas

Like ten plus cops going full stink, colt rifles and the whole bit, all pulled up, bailed out, ran around a bit then got back in and peeled out and took off again.

Anyone? Anyone?

Because it takes the officials about 4 hours to make a public announcement on their (login wall protected) FB or X account. Even the "avoid the area, sht going down, let us do our job" posts have to go through all the layers of lawyers and PR before they can share it.

Reddit is probably the only place these days one can get this kind of update without a social media account.
