Thread: AR15 in rush hour traffic??

Scary sight driving home in Auckland rush hour traffic tonight. Cop car pulled up next to motorway in semi rural area (life style blocks) flashing lights going. Solid traffic north and south bound. Solitary cop standing about 100 yards away from the cop wagon in shade of some trees, facing oncoming traffic holding AR15. Don’t pretend to be an expert on police operational matters, nor what the police might have been up to, but this seemed wrong on several levels. If an offender was on the run were they going to try and shoot them in a line of cars going past at 100 km/ hr ?? Had visions of the poor courier driver that got nailed on Auckland motorway a few years back.
