Boston cops are far from the worst. For the most part they’re actually pretty cool. Remember Occupy Boston? When every other police force in the country was pepper spraying and provoking protesters into arrest our guys were thanking them for the overtime they were getting. They even had a working relationship with the anarchists. Think about that.
Most older Boston cops have similar backgrounds. They were working for a friend under the table in some business and took the police and fire exams plus they had an in at the Gas Company who was pushing the application they submitted. The police called first.
What we don’t want are cops who grew up wanting to be cops (except if father a cop) and couldn’t wait til strut their stuff.

I blame Jorge Quiroga. Oh sure it was cute, and proper I suppose. He rolled the tongue at “roga” every time. Good for him.
But then the Italians and fake hipsters took it and went wild. Listen, when Vinnie says, “Hey, you know what’s good? My Nana’s (insert random Italian dish here with over the top bad Italian accent)
God I hate that. I think we all should be allowed to give the ole open hand dope slap to the head of any jamoke who talks like you and me but then spits out and accent.
Do Central Americans talk like one of the Bowery Boys when the say “hot dog” or “pizza” or “Brooklyn”?
