"With the department facing record high attrition rates and the looming threat of the hundreds of members who could retire at any given time, and a continued attack from social groups and elected officials the Department has been teetering on a full blown crisis for a while now."

Man.... these guys really never stop whining. If you all are just so sad, throw a pizza party, get some water balloons and a clown. Watch Power Rangers. Whatever you gotta do- just give me a break.

No one "attacked" you, tough guys. "Tours of Duty" They really think they're the military lol.

See, this is just ignorant. Would that make you happy at work?

The problem is that there is no incentive to work at BPD anymore really. It used to be that people felt proud to work at BPD. It would be a step up if you were a Braintree cop and were able to move into a job as a Boston cop. Not anymore. I don't think there's even much difference in pay.

I probably wouldn't feel great either if people kept wanting to strip me of pay and benefits.

Okay- ill shoot what was the incentive? Paid details or what?

You're not being proud of what you do isn't City Council or Social Activists' fault. Maybe you're just a bum who doesn't take pride in their work??

Crime is at an all-time low. Shouldn't you be proud and have high morale as a department?

Or are you depressed we've found out it doesn't take 2500 paid officers to get there and you're not AS important as you think you are? What is the boohoo about this time? I'd love to know.

What pay and what benefits are being cut - if I know that maybe I'd see their point. Probably not- but maybe.

You don't think there's a little more prestige in being a boston cop than a quincy cop? I'd say there is, especially after the marathon bombings. Maybe you dont see it that way or care, but people do.

I get it, you hate the po po. Not everyone else does.

I'm not depressed about anything having to do with the police. I'm more depressed about what we spend to help illegals.

What does that have to do with anything Live Boston or I are talking about?

I said why are they crying and whining, again. You said there's more prestige in being a cop in Boston than Quincy.

...Make that make sense? Or follow some sort of logical argument.

And he particularly likes South End buildings, apparently. Real life Spiderman?
