When I was in El Salvador 1984-85 during their little 12 year Civil War their cops rode three to a car followed by another car with three cops in them. The best place to be when their cops were around was someplace else. They tried to pull Manny (my door gunner) and myself over one day. We just hauled ass through town to the embassy by the time we got to the embassy there were like 6 cars chasing us. The Marines were ready for us and had the gate open and we flew into the Embassy parking. Then we walked back to the gate and showed the cops our Embassy Card (Diplomatic Immunity) so they had to just shack their heads and leave. But understand we did not trust the cops anymore then the Communist Guerillas, the cops where notorious for killing people and dumping their bodies at a dump outside of town. Anyways running was the appropriate and authorized action. Besides it was fun floor boarding a car through town with Manny yelling our positions into the radio.
