Observation #1: I'm not sure in those are shapes in the alley, or the chalk outlines.

Observation #2: With their police hats on, those guys are *octagons*, just like STOP signs are.

These police men, er, ... units, er, ... shapes first appeared last Halloween in a Math horror movie.

I just missed out on having these cops appear on "10/4" (like they should have but, you know, Real Life) and they're a few too late to be comic 911 (it's 914).
