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 |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
