Do you have the right stuff to become Boston’s next police commissioner?
Step one: Pick up the phone and dial area code 202.
That’s Washington, of course. But then you weren’t seriously expecting that anyone from area code 617 was going to be involved in anything … Boston, now were you?
Mayor Michelle Wu, originally from the 312 area code (Chicago), has farmed out the nationwide search for a new PC police commissioner to what appears to be a Washington think tank.
According to the city (of Boston, not Washington or Chicago or San Francisco, where the mayor’s new chief of staff came from), here is what the BPD requires of its next commissioner:
“The passion, skills, and cultural competencies to serve as a ‘bridge-builder.’”
Personally, I think most Bostonians might prefer a “crime stopper” to a “bridge builder.”
“A leader who brings an enthusiasm to meeting this moment to reimagine policing.”
How about reimagining … safe streets? Or the arrests of criminals? How about reimagining … Downtown Crossing without roving bands of teenaged girls assaulting and calling a 20-year-old woman a “white (bleep) with braids”?
How about reimagining a Chinatown where law-abiding Asians aren’t randomly stabbed?
“A willingness to actively center the safety and well-being of LGBTQ+ residents of Boston.”
How about a willingness to protect all citizens — even people who were born here, speak English and aren’t on welfare?

Sane people need not apply
We’re not going to make it to November. I see only one solution.
Michael Brown (and Trevon Martin) were killed because they stupidly attacked men with guns.
George Floyd died of a heart failure due to a massive overdose of drugs (per the Coroner's report).
It is a shame that Breonna Taylor died. She was hanging out with very bad actors but I don't see that she deserved to die.
Nah! The 2A has been a big disappointment. Billions of bullets gathering dust.
You don’t have to use the guns. Just the fact we have them scares the bejeezus out of these Leftists.
Crime will rise accordingly.
I seem to be seeing the term "reimagine" (or "reimagining") a lot lately. There was a good cartoon in Pookies the other day giving the definition of reimagine: "To screw-up, undermine or outright dismantle and destroy." How true.
That approach is not working. Biden/Kamala are running the roost, woke people in control everywhere, national debt is ballooning, and inflation is at 40 year high.
Boston Logan International Airport, 9/11 2001.....
I am so glad I got out of there. Every day I’m glad.
