They’ll do that if there is an object in the middle of the road that needs to be removed. The cop will stop traffic, remove/move the object to the shoulder and then carry on. Also seen police slow/stop traffic in this manor when construction crews are setting up/closing lanes. I wouldn’t call this “crazy” have seen it a few times.

Absolutely right. I was once behind a state trooper who was suddenly put on his lights and began this maneuver on 95 between Bridgeport and Stratford. When he came to a stop, blocking all lanes, he got out and dragged a chair to the side of the road.
