"If no buses are running why are there transit police cruising the streets?"
I'm just guessing, since I have no idea where you saw the cops and what they were doing at the time, but they may have been en route between their HQ (which is near Minnehaha and Franklin) and one of the facilities where ATU members are picketing. Their job right now is to guard Metro Transit property around the clock. They may also have been checking bus stops and shelters for vandalism.
There have been two squad cars parked by the Heywood garage at all times while I've been picketing there. They mostly sit and watch the building, and take a spin around the perimeter now and then.
The transit cops have been friendly and sympathetic. They face the same health care issue that we do, but they're not allowed to strike.
