Taqueria Takeout Takedown

A few doors down from the store was a Taqueria that served giant burritos. I do not eat meat, so I cannot comment on the tasteyness of these burritos, but it seemed like someone within a 10 foot radius was always eating one, so they must have been good. I was walking down the street after getting my coffee waiting for my afternoon shift to start when suddenly someone runs by and dashes into the taqueria. "Damn," I say to myself, "They must really want a burrito!" I am looking into the window, wondering how hungry is this guy, because he was running at mach 3.

Suddenly a cop runs into the store, and my first thought is "Damn, he must really want a burrito too!". After a few minutes, 4 or 5 cop cars speed down the one way street in front of the store and block traffic. Out of the cars run around 12 officers, and three more run by on foot and into the Taqueria. "DAMN!", I say to myself, "EVERYONE REALLY WANTS A BURRITO!". My awe at the popularity of the Taqueria was quickly subdued when a cop, who was running into the establishment yells "EVERYONE ON THE GROUND!". At the time I was peaking into the window from the side, but apparently shit had hit the fan, and I decided to get out of the line of any potential fire.

So I'm leaning against the store, enjoying a quick smoke and paying no mind to the chaos that is going on around me. A few minutes later my pre-work moment of zen is interrupted when someone is shoved out of the taqueria and into a cop car in handcuffs. A few moments later a cop comes up with a backpack and hands it to another officer. Shortly after everyone get in their cars and drive away. Turns out the person who got arrested dumped a backpack filled with drugs and a gun over by the train station. After getting busted, a high speed chace took place and ended in a burrito stand.

And to think, no one really ended up wanting a burrito....
