As for me + my house? We are a union family. We believe in worker& #39;s rights & collective power. But the lack of transparency + leadership from the state police union resisting #PolicingReform in #Massachusetts is painful, and ultimately history will judge as wrong #Mapoli. To wit:
The endemic misconduct brings into question State Police credibility AND State Police accountability. Look, I& #39;ve lived through clergy sexual abuse scandals- it& #39;s not just the "bad actor" that& #39;s the problem, it& #39;s the system that covers it up. That& #39;s why you need policy + reform
Second, leadership matters. These are law enforcement officers telling #mapoli that we don& #39;t need #policingReform and standards. As disgraced former SPAM prez Pullman said himself, “Where is the accountability at the top?" @mrochele with the receipts http://www.mattrocheleau.com/clips/selectedclips/frontpage/139%20-%20State%20Police%20union%20president%20Pullman%20resigns%20amid%20new%20federal%20probe%20(1%20of%201)%20-%20The%20Boston%20Globe%20-%209-28-18.pdf">https://www.mattrocheleau.com/clips/sel...
So here we are, in the midst of what may be the greatest push in a generation for racial justice and systemic #policingreform, and what will #Mapoli tell your children& #39;s children? "I sent the bill to study committee." No. This is your moment to run TOWARDS a reform, not away.
