isolate them. the criminal element will kill each other off as they are now and the sympathizers will end up dead too.
Ask me how much I really care. Not enough to even read about it in the paper.
Sad story. Disgusting, really.
But the cop should have had a buddy call his phone while he was looking for it. The ringing would have given the culprit away.
Escape from Boston.
What kind of behavior do you expect from a bunch of upper-crist, white-bread, Bostonians?
Teddy Roosevelt said, "There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100 % Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else."
These hyphenated Americans are not Americans.
I don't even know what upper-crist means.
Whatever. After getting a ticket last month for having too-dark of windows on my truck I have a hard time feeling sorry for cops.
Partygoers knew the man being chased? Black cop and white everyone else? Did the partygoers ever get in trouble for it? Questions, questions.
i wonder why the cop didn't call on his squawker an have someone at the station ring his cell phone...
"...warped values..."
There's absolutely nothing of value about this.

Goffigan, et al. v. Academy Homes, et al., Suffolk Superior Court, C.A. No. 95-5997B.
As reported in The Boston Herald: "Nearly four years after 9-year-old Jermaine Goffigan became the city's youngest murder victim, his family has been handed more than half a million dollars to help heal its wounds. The landlord of the housing project where "Manny" Goffigan was shot to death on Halloween, his birthday, has agreed to pay $550,000 to settle a suit brought by his still-haunted family. 'They (the owners) were in the wrong. But why should someone have to lose their life before they wake up to what they need to do,' said his anguished mother, Deborah Haskins, surrounded by photos of Jermaine and her other kids. 'This isn't going to bring my son back. No type of money could do that. But it can help the rest of my children move on,' she said. The family's civil case was scheduled for trial in Suffolk Superior Court next month, but last week the sides agreed to settle. Haskins has argued the project, Roxbury's Academy Homes I, was unsafe and the owners knew it. The site of several shootings, and the murder of another boy a year before, Academy Homes had no security patrols and its surveillance cameras were unmanned after 5 p.m. The project was so dimly lit, residents referred to it as the 'dark side,' said the suit against Academy Buse, the owners, and Loring Smith, the manager."
"The individuals who shot Jermaine were able to walk nonchalantly into the heart of the community, start shooting and then exit the way they entered without any fear of apprehension,' said Chris Milne, one of the family's lawyers. 'Basic security measures would have prevented this,' he said."
"The settlement agreement sets up a trust for Jerome, now 16, who was devastated by his kid brother's death." See Andrea Estes, Slain boy's kin to get $550G to settle suit, BOSTON HERALD, OCTOBER 16, 1998, AT 7.
