Rolling back from lunch,1:45pm, I saw a cluster of police on the corner of Church and Franklin handing out blue flyers – and getting their pictures taken by some local media.
“Great”, I thought, “they’re looking for witnesses to the the recent Avalon shooting.”
Unfortunately, that’s not the case. The seven sweltering uniformed law enforcement were there for a PR photo-op to educate folks on the proper usage of the new Franklin St. crosswalk. I believe an additional two staff were across the street at University Square doing the same.
Seven law enforcement. One missing murderer.
No cool down in sight.
