Cops off-duty

The Nov. 17 editorial, There had to be a better way to do this, asked: “Where were officers or public-service aides who could have directed traffic” during Monday’s I-95 traffic punishment?

They were standing around chatting, gawking and laughing at us motorists. Apparently directing traffic is not in their job description. My advice: Get the traffic app!

Don Deresz,
