...editorial points out, the major flaw in the Cops in Shops problem is its gross misallocation of police resources: "Cambridge is far from devoid of violent crime. Officers would better serve the community strolling ill-lit Linden Street late at night rather than playing clerk behind the cash-register at Christy's waiting for an 8-year-old to try to buy beer...
