Convenient to public transportation.

You may have missed the details about how other cops discovered the theft and arrested him?

Good. Hope he likes prison food. I love that he was dumb enough to do something (being a little vague) that a cop should know would get him caught.

Sure, but I have a sensitive side.

Reading my post history and interpreting anything as "violence and oppression" is a serious insight into your world view.

The school made a deal with him allowing him to resign. When the chief of the UMass Dartmouth police informed other departments about the allegations the school threatened to fire the chief. ACAB though, right?

>Despite the agreement, Fioravanti shared negative things about Laudon with other departments on at least two occasions, according to a former UMass Dartmouth police officer and union steward who spoke to investigators. Both times, a school human resources executive reminded him about the agreement. And after the second occasion, she reportedly warned Fioravanti that he would be fired if he did it again.

The games won't be NHL caliber but they'll be really good and a lot of the players will go pro.

They've been having a ton of problems with people coming in and stealing from lockers so they may say no.

It really is.

I definitely was thinking of Umberto's. Maybe the best pizza I've ever had in my life and that's saying something.

There's a pizza place in Boston's North End like this. They make a certain amount of two kinds of pizza every day and there's a line out the door until it's gone. Umberto's I think.

I have learned nothing from this experience.

You just try to focus on what you can control.

I would have to say that this is something that sounds true and is easy to believe but without some sort of rigorous academic study we're both just stating opinions. Mine is informed by being a police officer who deals with criminals and the courts and looks at criminal histories every day but of course it is still only an informed opinion.

Yeah I literally just learned that, I haven't been paying attention.

I mean it's certainly better to be rich in basically every facet of life, but Massachusetts is absolutely full of poor people who have been charged with dozens of fairly serious crimes and had the charges dropped dismissed for the flimsiest of reasons.

Yes, exactly this. It's just not limited to wealthy people with connections, it's everybody.

The relevant law:

It's basically obstruction, the elements of the crime were recently tightened up quite a bit by the Supreme Judicial Court making it even harder to charge people over lying to the police.

I understand that this is a common sentiment, but Massachusetts is incredibly lenient across the board.

Edited to add that his open case is federal which is a lot less lenient than the Massachusetts state system.

So when you said pizza delivery was more dangerous than being a cop, that was based on what exactly?

The words "pizza" do not appear anywhere on this page.

Ranked where? What are the numbers?

Any numbers on how many pizza delivery drivers were murdered last year?

I remember when people like Ted Kennedy helped kill Cape Wind. They were all about renewable energy, except when they'd see it on the horizon.
