Bad boys, bad boys...

Okay, as the umpire, how would you handle this situation?

You're calling an important game (sanctioned championship play) behind the plate. In the middle of the game, the cops show up and begin speaking to one of the teams. It's clear that the cop isn't just there to say hello, he's actually looking for someone who may have been involved in an altercation the night before. 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?

For the record, something very similar to this happened in a tourney I was calling, and I wanted to hear what everyone else thought.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
