Finally gave these patches a home. Each one carries a story — from humanitarian trips across Lviv, Kyiv, Odesa, and Kharkiv to local fundraisers for Boston and Malden PD. From autism acceptance and breast cancer awareness to EMT service, I’m proud to stand with these communities at home and abroad. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

Lender sues Boston, tow company and RMV for the way a seized car it was still owed payments on was sold off

An Illinois lender yesterday sued the city of Boston, a Charlestown towing company and the Registry of Motor Vehicles over the way Boston lets tow companies not just seize cars on the order of Boston Police but sell them off without giving lenders the chance to get the car back first, which it charges is a violation of several of its constitutional rights Read more.

An update to the Cop Slide incident!

#404media FOIA'ed the city about the #CopSlide viral video in #Boston, and got a response, summarized in the below article.

tldr: The officer hit his head and arm. Boston PD asserts that there's no bodycam footage, despite several officers standing around laughing, but 404 media is appealing as the video shows someone possibly filming with their phone's camera.

Terrence Coleman's mother called 911 for help when he was in a mental health crisis. She asked for EMS, not police. While EMS was talking with her and her son, police burst in shot and killed him. That was 6 years ago, and Boston Police are still doing all they can to stall.

Okay #cycling #bikelanes #enforcement or not #ridesharing #ubereats followers:

As has become the norm since the pandemic started, an #Ubereats driver parked in bike lane that is also a posted #nostopping zone. Immediately behind that car is a #bostonpolice car, with foolish me thinking that a ticket was being written. Ha, nope - one cop was inside the Cafe Nero while the other was waiting. Do ANY #boston area police enforce traffic laws to prevent #cycling folks from going out in traffic?

What's going on here #bostonpolice department?
Why aren't officer shootings being reported to the #FBI accurately?

@frogfather - my last Tweet was an angry one, at the #BostonPolice union, which was in the midst of a sustained attack on the City Council member who reps my neighborhood. Their contempt for her and everyone she represents is nauseating. She is a Black woman, a terrific public servant, and she can't tweet about anything without some nasty racists attacking her. For cops to make her an even bigger target of angry trolls, well, that's peak #Twitter
