"The Boston City Council, in a post-election flurry, voted to reject $2.55 million in state grants earmarked for the investigative arm of the city’s police department. City Councilor Michael Flaherty had pushed to suspend the rules and pass three grants for $850,000 apiece for the Boston Regional Intelligence Center, for the purposes of improving “technology and protocols related to anti-terrorism, anti-crime, anti-gang and emergency response.” - Boston Herald


To her credit, Mayor Wu intends to refile the grants.

"Councilors Ricardo Arroyo, Kendra Lara, Ruthzee Louijeune, Julia Mejia, and Brian Worrell all voted against the grants."

"The database and BRIC itself have frequently come under fire for potentially violating civil liberties and racially profiling residents. "

Lara forcefully opposed the funding, saying that she worked with young people who were unfairly targeted by gang classifications based on a flawed system.

“I got to see firsthand the damage that a BRIC classification does to a young person that is trying to turn their life around,” she said. “We are calling ourselves progressive, including the mayor, in name only. This is a regressive step.”

GangLara? So she is out, Arroyo is out.
Maybe without them it still have a chance?

Are you a racist? Boston council consists of all races.
By the way, I talked to my coworkers from Dorchester.
They want to feel safe. They approve.

Since you have your ear on the streets. What is the general consensus of black people being pro gang violence?
