Undead Analogy

After perusing these threads and being on many rides that featured the adverse police action, I could closely relate these run-ins to any given scenario in zombie flick/game.
Think about it, the cities we roll through are akin to the abandoned cities where a majority of the population got killed off/turned into the undead.
Our rides could either be seen as a military recon unit scouting the area for repatriation, or scavengers looking for supplies until the next destination.
So, depending on how hard or soft we act when rolling through these neighborhoods, the hordes of the undead(cops, angry citizens) may or may not try to devour us as we continue with our mission.
Actual examples-
September Robotz-
A recon trip through the devastated remains of LAX and the Southbay. The area was still devoid of life and undead activity quite high, yet we were able to establish a landing beacon in the safe-haven of Dockweiler.
Aside from an accidental fall in a rubble-strewn district and a crazed survivor who claimed to lead a militia poised to take down the remaining authority, mission was successful.
This Months MOB-
Large, mixed force made up of staggered, former military units and survivor bands from other areas of what was once the Southwestern United States.
After running low on supplies and essentials in their respective base-camps, all groups came together in a multi-lateral, scavenging/salvage/recovery mission of the decimated LA Basin.
Due to the large amount of inexperienced civilians-turned-survivalists in the mix, this lead to a swift breakdown in communications and mission effectiveness.
Swarms of undiscovered undead hordes converged from all sides of the urban rubble to corner and cut-off units off-guard.
Many were lost in the ensuing chaos to repel and evade the hordes, while even more were consumed whole as their frantic cries for assistance went unnoticed.
All remaining battalions were forced to flee into different parts of the abandoned city and hold out until dawn.

really? I though we were always like zombies on bicycles. I giant brainless mob who take what we need, to whom rules don't apply.
The cops and the civilians being the survivors, trying not to be caught in our terror of a 30minute traffic delay.
You would like the pic though.
