And don't even think of ordering a cheesesteak the wrong way
Today in South Philly, the police force is implementing a zero tolerance policy for crime. All crimes. Not just your average serious crimes like shootings and burgularies but even things like bigamy, tax evasion, running red lights and even the best Philadelphia pastime of all:
"I would advise you not to jaywalk. It will be zero tolerance," said Capt. Jerrold Bates of the 17th Police District in South Philadelphia. "It's going to be pretty intense."
This can only mean one thing: somebody's gonna get shot but the cops'll be too busy arresting jaywalkers to apprehend the gunman.

Don't you think it means that the cops are going to be too busy shooting jaywalkers to apprehend the gunmen?
