  1. I wish they published the names of the people arrested. Maybe a public shaming would deter them from commiting these crimes.

  2. North End used to be a safe place what is going on and where are the foot patrol Officers Mr Walsh

  3. It is going to get worse, this is nothing, & where are the foot patrol police? Not walking our
    streets, that is for sure.

  4. I haven’t seen foot patrols since Andy of Mayberry. They even stopped using the horses because they were too expensive. You might seem them in the Commons giving directions to tourists. I have seen guys I believe are undercover. They exit a police car and then go to a hot spot. But for mobility they use cars. The number of police in most large metro areas is declining. Not a choice occupation anymore. Let’s face it, one wrong split second decision and you’re looking at prison. No margin for error. If you where a police uniform people judge you as most likely a racist, even if you’re an African-American. So…. Who wants the job? Even when you’re, your wrong.
