classic reminder that when boston cops & firefighters were facing budget cuts in the 80s they started fires (so many fires that boston became the arson capital of the country) so civilians would “realize how important cops and firefighters were” https://twitter.com/BostonGlobe/status/1171272638708293632

city on a hill baby (article from 1984) love to never learn that we should never give into these people whatsoever https://www.nytimes.com/1984/07/26/us/arson-ring-charged-in-163-boston-fires-in-bid-to-save-jobs.html

also cannot forget the MA cop who shot up his own police car then started a manhunt for the shooter he made up to distract from the fact that he was dating a high schooler. protect our boys in blue! https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2016/02/18/a-small-town-cop-staged-a-shootout-then-his-story-and-his-life-fell-apart

Anyways probably fine that the massachusetts state senate is currently in the process of letting cops have the final say on their so-called police reform bill!
