Napping LA County Sheriff Guards Metro Heat Island

The Metro's Universal City Red Line Transit Hub is an inhospitable cement heat island with just a lonely little shade tree to offer comfort to this weary Sheriff's Deputy who is secure in his patrol vehicle, windows rolled up, engine running, A/C blasting and head back, eyes closed.
An idling engine, wasting fuel, polluting the air - small sacrifice when you consider the immense comfort provided to Metro's finest!
Actually, no. Turn off the engine, get out of the vehicle, go for a walk, talk nicely to the Metro passengers. You know, the people who use the Metro and must choose between sitting in the sun or standing in the shade. Anyway, seriously, turn off the engine.
