31. Police are damned if they do, damned if they don't. If they bashed down the doors

Tue May 7, 2013, 04:53 PM

May 2013

people would scream brutality.

Boston showed the people don't hate the police and law enforcement.
The people hate the killers and the guns.(and it showed in the most positive polling of Deval Patrick too.)
