What a mess down in DC today, listening to the Wash DC police EMS gives you an appreciation for the mess that the innauguration frenzy is creating... trying to contain crowds, ambulances being routed to distant hospitals rather than nearest trauma center because they need to avoid the federal area... DC police and Park Police having different agendas... better to watch on tv.

They were doing roll call for all units to see where available resources are, trying to find some folks to relieve officers that had been at intersections since midnight (it's 11:30am local time), tough to stay sharp after 12 hours on a standing detail.
