Reply to comment by SuperHiyoriWalker in Woburn man, 46, dies after attack in Downtown Crossing on St. Patrick’s Day by Solar_Piglet

I've heard of that happening in NYC so I'm not denying what you mention exists. I guess my general question would be what does everyone consider the appropriate police action if the police see a roaming group of teens harassing people doing their best brookline turkey impressions or worse.

are they supposed to pull their gun on them and make them all lie down on the ground and get cuffed? chase them and tackle them? flash their lights at them? seems like 1 or even 2 cops trying to deal with 10-15 unruly individuals could pose some issues

lmao @ brookline turkey impressions

Even flashing their lights and telling the miscreants to move along would be better than nothing, as a signal to those nearby that the cops actually give a shit about their safety and comfort.

Stop & Frisk worked excellently for NYC crime rates.

The 90’s crime bill also took a massive bite out of violent crime, people just don’t want to hear it. Covid is over, no more excuses.
