To shoot or not to shoot, that is the question. If they are police, you die (at least eventually). If not, you get robbed big time! Better not to drive at night at all.

Holy smoke, this is the type of thing you expect if you’re in some third-world country, not here. Oh, wait...

How do we know these were not actual cops?

Police looking for two men posing as Houston cops

'Posing' as Houston cops?
Maybe they were just undocumented Houston cops.

And we know that there's nothing wrong with being 'undocumented'.

Here’s where I wish I were skilled at Photoshop, with some pics of real Houston cops, Anise Parker, and Sheila Jackson Lee.

This nearly happened to me on the Southwest Freeway when I was driving from West University to Fluor in Sugar Land. Some subcompact car was behind me running wig-wags - except it looked like the dude was playing with some switches since the timing did not look right. I did not pull over for the vehicle, but kept going.

About the same time, some gangbangers on the East Side had some jackets with FBI, DEA, and stuff like that making forced entry robberies, figuring if they acted like cops their victims would not resist.

I was told by HPD at the time that I was correct not to pull over for such a vehicle. That was during a brief time when some professionalism was coming back to HPD. Then Lee P. Brown became mayor, and that useless POS Bradford became chief.
