"They" sure as hell do, in my town. "They" over-developed their massive plot of land with a massive "recreation center" (bowling alley? movie theatre? shouldn't this money go to mission work?) and now there is no room left for adequate parking.

The solution? Parking across the street at a shopping center, and stopping traffic along a major road so they can mosey across at a leisurely pace, with uniformed police officers (whom I assume are off duty) acting as crossguards.

I can't wait to start my Satan Worship club and have uniformed police officers stop traffic for me and my buddies because we built a go-cart track on top of our parking lot. We'll also have no problem blocking your driveway, and blasting mega-decibel bells into your home at all hours.

Aha, so that's the root of your discontent. They're runnin' down the hood.

You can get off duty uniformed cops to direct traffic any time you can afford it. Around here the Pumpkin Patch does that around Halloween.

Don't be silly, your rabidity? rabidness?, is clouding your judgment, now. The police should be on top of any traffic problem, especially when pedestrians are at risk.
