A handful of clergy and community leaders blasted Boston police union leaders Tuesday for demanding that patrol officers be armed with long guns, sayingthe request was racist and a “step in the wrong direction.” “We found the letter to be racist, unnecessary, and really overly aggressive to the city in general, the [police] commissioner, the mayor, and the black community,” the Rev. Mark Scott, associate pastor of Azusa Christian Community Church said in an interview Tuesday. “It doesn’t reflect the real on-the-ground conditions in the city of Boston or the hard work done by the community and the police.”

“We have a superior sense of what is most effective in our communities for reducing crime and promoting good will[.]"
Yeah? What makes it superior, if it doesn't work?

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
