A police shock force?
By adamg on Sun, 04/01/2007 - 10:45am
The Guardian Angels write on their Boston Herald blog:
It's incumbent upon the mayor and police commissioner to send in a shock force and stop these guys. Five-O needs to start frisking the gang-bangers and see how quickly it stops the violence.
Yes, ignoring the Constitution worked really well the last time Boston tried it.

What Bill of Rights?
I agree the police need to beef up their efforts, but it would be nice if they could do it while respecting the rights of individuals.
Not that BPD ever really gave a shit about that kind of stuff. Try requesting permission to own a handgun. Low-income, single parents need not apply.
Indiscriminate frisking of city residents has as much chance of passing constitutional muster as Menino's short-lived idea of random car searches at the NH border to lok for guns coming in to Massachusetts.
NYC does it ....
How is NYC able to reduce its homicide rate? There's your answer.
At this point, cracking some heads sounds good to me.
