Comments on: Boston Police Shows Rest of Country How It Is Done http://bluemassgroup.com/2011/12/boston-police-shows-rest-of-country-how-it-is-done/ Reality-based commentary on politics and policy in Massachusetts and around the nation Tue, 21 May 2013 02:52:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: thinkliberally http://bluemassgroup.com/2011/12/boston-police-shows-rest-of-country-how-it-is-done/#comment-283249 thinkliberally Sun, 11 Dec 2011 22:02:02 +0000 http://bluemassgroup.com/?p=34297#comment-283249 Though there were a few knuckleheads as there are in every crowd, and over the last 72 days they've had a moment here or there that they have learned from. But largely they remained restrained, disciplined, nonviolent, and intelligent. They never let things get away from them, making sure that the news didn't become about them becoming violent or stupid, or trying to start something that didn't need to be started. Not enough has been made of the restraint they showed. The police deserve a ton of credit for how they handled themselves. But similarly I think kudos to Occupy for how they have behaved throughout.
