A Boston cop told me that they have had to respond to several attacks and robberies on the bike path. He said the state police have to respond from the Blue Hills Barracks and the victims get tired of waiting and leave the area. No victim no crime.

I hope the victim is ok.

It's a beautiful path and they have done a terrific job over there. Personally I think the police should be biking there all day long...same for the pond, Charles river, and along stony brook. I used to ride my bike to work along stony brook and for my to/fr ride I only saw bike patrols twice in about 6 months.

Maybe they should have state police on patrol in the general vicinity near the bike path, so that the police response to attacks and robberies would be much, much quicker, and victims don't feel the need to leave due to getting tired of waiting a long time for a police response.

Although our violent crime rate is nowhere near as bad as Baltimore, DC, Atlanta, St. Louis, Detroit, New Orleans, Philly, etc.

Should we hold there hand from the barracks and spoon feed them to help them get there or already be there. Zero protection !!!

There is zero police protection in these parts of the city. So all my people be vigilante and wear your running shoes keep pepper spray and pray.
