So, you've all seen this before. Or maybe even been a part of it. It happened early this morning on the crusty middle part of Market Street. What we have here are two cops arresting someone for some sort of wrongdoing (most likely swiping spring rolls from Tu Lan, for they are most delicious), but what you don't see are "the five police cars and ten other cops behind" SFist James, who snapped the shot.
Why do so many cops descend on these kinds of arrests? Is it some sort of tactic? Boredom? Herd mentality? We know it's not just because of the "pastry" shop in the background because we see these types of gang-bang arrests all over the City.
Please advise.

Is it cliché to note this establishment serves donuts? Probably.
Everybody wishes they had ten armed guys with them when they're walking down this part of market, these guys just get to live the dream.
Maybe they're hoping for a part in the new 'Streets of San Francisco' TV show...
"He called it 'The BART'! He can't be from around here! I need back-up!"
(I was inspired by Generic's joke from the previous thread)
sounds like another "Operation: Justify Overtime" to me..
At least this is not another "No arrests have been made" post.
agreed.
It looks like he tried to ollie that trail of bum pee and fell. The cops are just helping him up and picking up his board for him. They must have already taken the hobo into custody.
sweet charles, lol
I'm pretty sure cops do that because they don't want to be stabbed with a dirty needle.
