The Sylvania cops should have been directing traffic so concert goers wouldn’t have to dodge cars on Centennial to get to their cars. They never are there to protect people going to these concerts. Very dangerous place to be after a show. Not worth risking your life for..Surprised it took so long for someone to be killed there.
