I Just Saw a Man Get Tackled...

...right in front of the museum.  Zana and I were just talking about cars, and the pros/cons of automatic or manual transmission, and I saw through our huge front windows a man running at full speed, followed by two policemen who tackled him right under our admission line tent.  I went up to the doors and watched them handcuff the culprit, and a woman standing next to me was almost in tears because she thought the police were going to break his arm.  He was full-on struggling, so one of the policemen kept his knee in the guy's lower back.  It was way intense--they kept yelling: "You are under arrest!  You have the right to remain silent!  You are under arrest!"  After they pulled him to the squad car, I went outside to fix our stanshions, and they were still yelling.  The guy was protesting, and a plain-clothed policeman with his gun hanging off of his belt was shouting, "My partner SAW you do it!  Why do you think we were chasing you?"  I have no idea what he was being arrested for, but it was more than obvious that he was resisting.  It's only 10:30 AM, and that may be the most exciting thing that will happen all day.  Except maybe the fact that it's 20 degress cooler than it has been the previous two days...
