About an hour ago, I saw a dirty, old Greyhound bus being escorted by a couple dozen county motorcycle cops. ---

I saw the same bus yesterday on Crystal Drive, close to National Airport. I could’ve sworn the cops were Capitol Police, though. Maybe federal witnesses or somebody coming in for the NBA playoffs? ---

> [@False\_God](#): > > I saw the same bus yesterday on Crystal Drive, close to National Airport. I could’ve sworn the cops were Capitol Police, though. Yeah, same bus, and same general area. They definately had a county escort today, I got a good look at two of the bikes as the closed off the intersection I was at (12th & Eads). Funny thing is, I saw them again five minutes later–they were on Army-Navy and crossing Eads. ---
