Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?
This is going to be interesting.
Slightly unrelated side note: The BPPA (Boston Police Patrolman's Association) is constantly citing the dangers its members face on the streets to justify their demands for higher pay. Granted, cops have a tough job, but that's why they get body armor and assault weapons. If the streets are as unsafe as they claim, where's my AR-15? Where's my Kevlar vest? What happened to the crime-free utopia that the Gun Control Act of 1998 was supposed to deliver?
BOSTON (AP) A federal judge on Thursday said he would deploy U.S. marshals to ensure that access isn't blocked by picketing Boston police officers to the FleetCenter, where construction crews have been trying to get inside to ready it for next month's Democratic National Convention.It's about time the feds got involved with this. The picketing police officers' rallying cry throughout this fiasco has been "No contract, no convention!". In their quest to become the highest paid cops in the country (by far), they are hijacking the one of the very building blocks of our nation's democracy. They are trying to use the convention as leverage to get Mayor Menino to cede to their demands, and I congratulate Menino for his tough stance on this.
