[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cops aren't at my episcopal church on Palm Sunday when we process from one location to another, crossing a busy street without a traffic light. They aren't at the Catholic church in my neighborhood on Easter. They aren't at the Mormon church in Alexandria on their holy days. 
Not saying it's because of radicalization, but it's certainly not just to escort people across a street that has a streetlight to stop traffic.

It actually is to get the people across safely.  The police officers override the normal operation of the traffic lights to efficiently get the people across.  When large numbers are crossing, they change the lights, allow them to cross and change the lights back.  The normal length of time for the crosswalk lights isn't enough.  The police officers are able to strike a balance between getting people across in a timely, efficient manner, and moving the traffic along.  Route 7 has very heavy traffic pretty much all the time, so having the police officers there makes sense.  [/quote]
