Dan Conley’s Solution? Search and Avoid

July 31, 2006 By eb3-fka-ernie-boch-iii 10 Comments

Most cases of police abuse are not reported in the newspaper. In addition to the killing of Victoria Snelgrove, the Snelgrove Report details some other unjustified assaults committed by police officers with the powerful “non-lethal” weapons they got to play with that night.  Witnesses “without exception” described Supt. O’Toole as discharging his weapon from his hip area with no apparent target (page 15 on PDf format). On page 18 there is a nice story about  an injured man directed by two Boston Police officers to an area where he could get medical attention. Unfortunately, this bleeding college kid met up with Officer Silta who

“discharged one round striking him in the leg. Officer Silta stated that because Mr. Gately continued to advance, he then rapidly discharged multiple rounds, at close range, striking Mr. Gately as many as 12 times in the torso.”

Gately said he had his hands down and was asking for help. The report sites that his version is “supported by other witnesses”.

Another well publicized incident involves a Boston Police Officer firing his gun at a car (possibly stolen) fleeing away from the “scene”. The bullet struck and killed a teenage girl sitting in the back seat.  There was no justifiable cause for the officer to shoot at this fleeing car.

These incidents were publicized and are no brainers as far as criminal charges go. At the very least Conley could have ordered a judicial inquest into killings. Instead he closed and continues to close his eyes allowing abusive and crooked cops to thrive. Think of the abusive and crooked cops that regular people in the neighborhoods see and are aware of. Nothing is being done about them so how can they trust the police.

It use to not be this way.

Remember this is a guy that won’t prosecute a hard core criminal who orders a hit, in writing, on one of his assistant district attorneys

Is there one answer to the Boston crime problem? No. But we can start by having people like Dan Conley DO THEIR JOB!

we’ve also got coppers on drugs.  Check out the Boston Globe story.

I don’t know if a “2 strikes policy, with rehab” is better public policy than a “1 strike” policy like NYC and LA.  I don know that cops on drugs scares the crap out of me.  Not only is there risk for really bad decision making in the line of duty, there’s also much greater chances of police corruption of the worst kinds.

Drugs are bad, mkay?

They can easily stop the abuses in it.
There is an inverse relationship to pay and corruption. New Orleans P.D. was historically low paid.
On the whole we have good reasonable police forces in northeast. Just watch COPS and see how those CA and FL cops are.
But as I have said before, the no neck, muscle head, low I.Q, steroid rage head, memebr of the military/security guard complex are starting to thrive.
That is another problem though

I think that first statement is correct, but the second statement has nothing to do with it.

NYPD has never been on COPS.  The city wisely refuses: the money COPS pays would pale in comparison to the tourism and reputation lost.  I’m not sure, but AFAIK that’s a similar stance to most Northeastern cities.

You haven’t seen Northeastern police act like jerks on COPS because you haven’t seen many Northeastern policemen on COPS in the first place.

…somehow connect the Quinn Bill with cops doing drugs. 

<

Sure the Quinn Bill has problems and needs reforming, but my sense you just want to get rid of it.  You really don’t give a sh*t if cops improve their professional qualifications, to much government for you right?

It was a joke cowboy; holster them flames before they gets too hot to hold.  Too subtle to be funny? Too bad.

I want to thank these protestors for their bravery in standing up for their community and against fossil fuel profits. This kind of peaceful action is an inspiration. The fight to stop the natural gas compressor in Weymouth is not over. https://www.wcvb.com/article/protesters-block-entrance-as-work-begins-at-weymouth-compressor-station/30135711

A reporter asks Nancy Pelosi if she "hates the president."

"I don't hate anybody," she says in a strong response. "As a Catholic, I resent your using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me...Don't mess with me when it comes to words like that." http://abcn.ws/2RoY6eA

Adding @jbouie to their opinion section is genuinely the smartest thing NYT management has ever done: "The question is whether Democrats understand that their fortunes are also bound up in the fate of workers." https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/04/opinion/pelosi-northam-unions-democrats.html
