A chicken had a bit of an existential crisis in the middle of trying to answer the age old question of why it need to cross the road, causing a standoff with law enforcement in Washington state.
Yakima police officer Ira Cavin encountered a rooster standing in the middle of a five-lane street, and despite his arrival, the bird defiantly remained.
The department shared photos of the strange incident on their Facebook page, writing, "You just never know what a shift can bring!"
With a little backup, the rooster finally realized the other half of the expression and disappeared into the night.
