Cop at movie theatre in Lexington Park?

[Speedy70]

Last night, my DH and I took his oldest DS to see the Shaggy Dog. There was a cop at the theatre the whole time. Is that every weekend? I was surprised. Waldorf I could understand, but Lexington Park? Is it that bad there???

Wow, that surprises me. There seemed to be a lot of families there with kids. I didn't see any "punks". We went to the 7:15 show, maybe the punks show up later LOL.

I guess it was ok that he might have watched a move there!

yes that is to keep all the thugs from there. it is bad down there at times so alot of places are getting cops to set out in front to keep peace. its a good thing atleast you can feel save while watching a movie.

My friend Chris and his girlfriend were leaving that theatre through that little alleyway next to the old post office and were mugged and beaten by three young men.. What they did to his girlfriends face alone was an outrage. Two were caught and got a slap on the wrist..

This was about ten years ago...
I always leave throught the front door and take care to park within sight of the door.

If he were there just watching the movie, I doubt he'd have been in uniform.

I don't know how they do things down in the Park, but most of the time, they just wear jeans and an agency jacket when they are working part-time. You know they are cops but they are not in uniform, but there are places were they are in full uniform when they work part-time.

My husband use to work over in DC at a theatre doing security part-time and watch bits and pieces of movies each night. He stands in the back of the theatre for 15 minutes then moves to the next one. He said eventually he would get to see the entire movie. The new released movies usually had the bigger crowds so it was ok to stand in the back of those for longer than 15-minutes.
