It's just one of those days where none of the calls are normal. Look what we rescued on 880 in #Oakland pic.twitter.com/EjGcm8Pkv1

It's unclear if this possum committed a crime yesterday while on 880, or if the beast was merely detained by the California Highway Patrol for his or her own safety. The bottom line: he/she is off the streets.
Critics of this photo, beware: Los Angeles County's CHP division is ready to defend their neighbors to the north from those who suggest the Oakland officer was in the wrong.
@FreddyWanKenobi Um, he’s alive. He could have been run over on fwy. but we rescued him. And now he’s safe. #glasshalfempty

The glass might be half empty or half full...but it's all possum.
