Definitely a Popo operation going on.
I took a drive on C this morning just to take the temperature. There seemed to be dedicated B&W, with a pair of Richmond's finest. Patrolling and taking the same routes a Monger looking for company would. Never venturing more than a block north of B. Park or more than a block south of Overbrook. The goal was to be seen. A SW looking for candy was walking north toward B. Park and they slowed down and intensified the blue light until she dipped into the drug store. I went over to T street and drove back thru and they were still at it. This was around 10:15 AM. One can only imagine the manpower at busier times.
I might be paranoid but watch for spotters outside of the Exxon. The good citizens must have complained because that's what usually triggers the purges.
Definitely more than normal
Saw them at ennys, 2 people pulled over within a half mile, cops walking around, etc. My guess is residents complaining so this could be the new normal on C. JD has picked up as well with seemingly many more patrols than before.
