police action in missouri

Just think, if my crape myrtle (left and right) had grown properly I wouldn't have been able to see all five police vehicles. 

View from where I sit.

 "Stop! You have to stop!" That came from the red car in the middle of the road. The sheriff's truck was parked across the bridge over the Eleven Point, and there was no way around. The sheriff called in reinforcements, and pretty soon there were five police cars in front of the Goose. The three ex-cons had apparently got in some kind of fight in the next town of Birch Tree and fled. Birch Tree cops called the Oregon County sheriff to block them off at the pass.
   "Fuck you, you know you're going to have to let me go in five minutes, I know my rights," shouted one man. So I knew that they had had run-ins with the law before.
  The one with the big jailhouse muscles was taken away. The woman driver was taken away. The car was loaded on a truck and taken away. And somebody came to fetch the skinny ones home to Birch Tree. It was dark by then.
   So you see, it isn't all white-on-black police action in Missouri. White meth addicts get the troops out in force too. Course the suspects are all still alive. . .

The three suspects, handcuffed in front of Bear's house. Did no evil?
