Those are machine guns those cops are toting

Yes, my friends, every day when I walk into the Tennis Center from the back entrance, where the practice courts are situated, I pass a few cops/militia standing outside with machine guns in their arms. I’ve never seen this before at the Open. Maybe it is a practice that started a couple of years ago because it’s been that long since I had a press pass and entered from the rear of the center. But it’s a little startling I have to say, passing these armed-and-ready gunslingers each day.
