Cops just killed a guy a block from where I'm sitting.
They had chased him past my window about an hour ago, suspect car followed by 3 squad cars.

Now I'm looking out my window and I see four news helicopters, and the TV News birdseye view shows a body under a yellow tarp.

Weird. I just saw this guy and he was alive. Now he's dead.

And people here are worried how it'll affect traffic.

Socal, baby! Yeah!

1. I watched a suicide out my window at work
A man was crouched under the guard rail of an overpass. When a truck came, he jumped out and led with his face.

I've always felt so sorry for the man who was in that much pain as well as the poor truck driver he used as his way out.

(No, I didn't see him waiting, only a blur as he jumped out)

3. The way you wrote your headline
... might lead one to think that you are upset with the police.
Any truth to that?

4. The headline was the simple truth on the fly.
That's what happened.
