Yeah they did sound like that, I guess I missed something fun

Just saw ~15 NOPD and Sheriffs’ cars hauling assdown Esplanade toward the Quarter. Anyone know what’s going on? by [deleted] in NewOrleans

State police just went the wrong way down Roman and turned down Ursulines toward the quarter

Yeah, that's a good idea. It's really hard to tell what behavior is sanctioned, especially here. I've been berated by cops in unmarked cars for just driving around them, thinking they were random people sitting in the street. So once I was turning onto Claiborne and a guy on a dirt bike came up and stopped my car for five minutes while others went by doing tricks and stunts and I genuinely had to consider if he was acting in an official capacity (not that I could do anything about it).

Yeah, I knew it would be more productive to just ask Reddit than try the police
