When did this become Oakland...?

As we were cleaning up from lunch I heard a short siren, and a moment later an SUV pulled over across the street followed by a police car. The SUV had plastic taped up in place of the back window, so I figured that's why he was being pulled over. Except.... the officer didn't approach the SUV. And then another police car drove up. And then two more. At one point we had SIX police cars parked across the street. The officers were standing behind the open doors, guns drawn and shouting at the occupants of the SUV.

Of course we were being nosy neighbors.

There wasn't much to see, ultimately. Two 20-ish guys got out of the SUV, were searched for weapons, handcuffed, and placed in the back of the squad cars. The kid who'd been the passenger was eventually released after much talking with the cops, and he walked off presumably to catch a ride somewhere. The driver stayed in custody.

NO IDEA what was going on. This kind of thing usually doesn't happen around here.
