In support of the Guardian Angels

In a city where the police think helicopters are an answer to crime, Third Decade welcomes the Guardian Angels back to Boston:

... Someone tell the police to keep their asses on the ground, get to know the neighborhoods and the hot spots, and be a real presence. The last thing I want to see and hear are Los Angeles-style helicopter flights and searchlights in the middle of the night. The Guardian Angels won't be the answer to the city's problems, but I'll feel better seeing them actively patrolling the streets and subways than wondering what corner of the sky the police are flying around at any given moment. ...

Also, while we may not be a Baltimore or Detroit, Mats Tolander says we have nothing to be proud of when it comes to our murder rate - he compares Boston's to those of other US cities and finds us wanting.
