How many T cops does it take to hand out an "If you see something" pamphlet?

Jen Stewart reports the answer to the riddle is six:

Two to pass out brochures, and four to stand with their hands in their pockets, staring longingly at the Dunkin' Donuts stand 5 feet away.

Her mood this morning was not further brightened by the fact that they had taped off all but one of the Charlie machines at Oak Grove to funnel commuters toward those two cops. She wonders whether it might make more sense to have those perpetually angry "customer service agents" hand out brochures nobody reads and have cops do stuff like, oh, preventing more stabbings.
