As the cops are talking to the players, it's becoming increasingly likely that this game could get interrupted.
What would you do? Talk with the cops and find out what they want? Suspend the game? Get the TD? Or just start calling outs when guys start missing their at-bats?

Umpire the game on the field. Should it get to the point of being interrupted, I let whoever is in charge make a decision on how to or whether or not we proceed.
