I’ll admit I was looking for something completely different when I opened the YouTube website, but this video was on the first page, and it caught my attention.

First, I noticed the Tyler Police Department logo then noticed that the video was taken at Broadway Square Mall in Tyler. So, I know it was local to East Texas.
