On a related note, there were EIGHT uniformed Boston police officers at the corner of Washington Street and Melnea Cass Boulevard this morning at 8:00 directing traffic. Well, actually, two cops were in the intersection assisting the flow of traffic, while six appeared to be "supervising".

I guess there's no time like overtime.
