Artists attend Cherokee Police Parade

This weekend, hundreds of artists showed up to take part in the Louisville Police Department parade, where LMPD strutted around Cherokee Park triangle in all kinds of post-9-11 equipment: cops were on bikes, mounted patrol, on foot--and the sherriff's office even had their own golf cart type buggies. Shiny patrol cars with light flashing were stationed at every block. In these tough times, it was nice to see the affluent art community come and out and show some support for the chronically underfunded and marginally influencial local police force. As we all know, artists, children, and old people eating ice cream are a perenniel social threat, so I say the more police and more police equipment, the better!
