The police who sit at the road blocks during the marathon are literally useless. I remember last year I couldn’t get out of my parking deck to go to work & I had to yell at the officers to point me in the right direction. Not sure what they’re doing there if all they do is sit & twirl their thumbs.

I asked where the road was cut off at and the guy said “you can move right now or sit here, I don’t care” I flicked him off as I drove away

The officers don’t volunteer for the marathon, they also don’t have directions anywhere. They don’t know any more than you do.

Oooo! Even better, that means they are being PAID to do it.

But being paid by the marathon and not by the city, I think.

Hey they do some things! I saw one today yell at a driver cause he was on his phone while waiting for there to be a break in runners! That was a thing that was done.

They are only there to prevent runners from being hit by cars. They're paid by the marathon and not working for the city while they're at events like this.
