Well while law abiding citizens they may be when an officer stands in from of your vehicle telling you to stop you dont inch forward and bump them.... All businesses are notified in advance as to the closing times. He wants to do parade coverage he should have left earlier KNOWING the streets were closed, then when a police car is blocking the road for traffic becuz of a parade in the street you dont fly around it cussing at the cops and drive across the street during a "break" Nice and friendly as he may be his actions were wrong.
