They seemed to be utter professionals--cool and calm yet highly methodical as they went hunting for the one alleged terrorist brother who went on the lam after the shootout that killed his brother. I must confess two of my uncles were Massachusetts State Troopers, which is another great group of tough cops. But the Boston Police were awesome as they used a robot, flashbangs, and a thermal camera to apprehend second Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev . The Police Chief recounted in a press conference shortly afterward just how they got the bleeding guy hiding in a Watertown backyard boat. Additionally, the Police made great use of their Twitter feed by communicating with the public about exactly what was going on. The city of Boston should be very proud of their 5 STAR YELP Boston Police Dept.

I stayed at a hotel and upon returning there on the third day of my trip, I parked in, would appear to be a legal parking place. There were no signs posted, no paint on the curb, just regular concrete. When I return to my vehicle later that evening it was gone and I was informed by the hotel staff that it has been towed by the Cambridge PD. the ticket was $25 for having parked within 20 feet of an intersection, which I have never heard of in my home state of Utah, nor as I said was anything marked on the curb. The towing charges $140, not to mention the hassle that these people put me through for no reason. They could've just taken the car and I would've moved it the next morning. It was not blocking anybody. Welcome to Cambridge.

Things looked dim and didn't show much chance of changing, so I decided to attempt suicide. I bought a bottle of sleeping pills and that night took them all. The only thing it did was put me to sleep. The next night I bought two bottles of sleeping pills and tried again. This time I went asleep and woke up starting to die but it was so uncomfortable I decided not to let it happen and roused myself. Walking away from the bushes, a Harvard University police squad car drove slowly up and the officer at the wheel beckoned me to approach. He rolled down his window and handed me a $50 bill. Then a few days later the Harvard police invited me to a party being held by the staff of the Harvard student newspaper. I went and it was a breath of fresh air. They were so respectful. I had been managing editor of my high school newspaper at Glenbard West High School in Glen Ellyn, IL so it meant something to me. I owe the Harvard University police my deepest gratitude for stepping in at a moment when my life was on the line. Thank you so very much!

I called the police, I explained everything and I also told the police that is a rental car. As an African American the officer was yelling at me and telling me to get in the car right now!!

Very low tone and super kind, and he was advising the white lady I was trying to claim money from the old lady insurance. Even though, I told him that the car was rental and he reviewed the paperwork. Just becareful, and have a camera in your car to record everything.

It is a Saturday morning raining. Nothing is going on in this town yet. It still takes them over an hour to respond to my house. I've called the operator multiple times I get the same person. They are not busy. He is saying it's because of shift changes. I just have to say that this is a scary response time and I am writing this and they still have yet to respond. Scared to think about the people supposed to be protecting our town can't even respond to our house within a timely manner.

The cops were nowhere near as buff as their sloshed challengers (that means drunk), but the element of alcohol probably tipped things in the cops' favour, as did strength in numbers. Anyway, it was comical and brutal and scary all at the same time. The same men had been racially abusive inside the Chinese restaurant where I was eating at 3am (Double Chin), and hadn't paid their bill. They'd wanted to lay a beatdown on the employees, but the cops had been nearby thankfully. Four stars for responding so well, minus one for so many crappy, illegal parking tickets given out.

I was asleep in my son's room laying with him bc he was sick. I heard loud banging on the door…read more Scared we stayed put thinking we were safe behind a lock door. About 5 Weymouth Police came barging in the one male grabbing me extremely hard. They had a warrant for my ex stemming from the MY original charges I pressed against him for abuse. I had no problem speaking with them. They refused to show me any warrant or even explain why they were in my house. I am not a criminal I do not have a criminal history I obey the law I called the police over a year ago for help when I was brutally attacked by a man in my home and the first thing this Male officer did was aggressively put his hands on me. Totally disappointed in how flawed the system is. Serve and PROTECT. I do not feel I am safe or PROTECTED. They treated me as if I was not a human with feelings. I've always have been respectful and cooperative now I know why these public servants get the negative reviews that they do! I'm sorry if I this isn't written very well I am still extremely rattled by what just took place. I will come back to make some corrections later on. Just needed to express my opinion somewhere unfortunately it won't make any difference. Long story short they had a warrant for the ex I called the cops on over a year ago and they still have not produced any paper work saying they had the right to be on my house. My son and I have lived in fear bc of this man and the last time I did call for help the abuses wad let out I was punished by him for calling the police and again by the police who threatened to call DCF and treat me like the criminal not the victim. They have no clue what life has been like and for them to act in such an aggressive manner when it wasn't warranted adds to the trauma my son and I have been subjected to for years. Too many suffer in silence bc have treatment such as this by those who are meant to keep us safe. I called the police to keep me safe they removed the threat and they still reported to DCF and my son was removed from the house bc of the stay away order I placed to keep him away. The bad guy won again. Even from behind bars this man gets to control my life. Did I mention after the fact he was taken out of my home for domestic abuse the Weymouth Police proceeded to give this man a phone to call me while in their custody!!! I am disgusted and I have no idea who to call or what to do I just know this was handled completely wrong and innocent people including a child had to pay

I've had to call in a few 911 things over the last few months and these guys were at my location in no time at all. This really makes me feel safe. I live in a 'up and coming' area, that means the prices are sky high but you could still get shived on your way home. We have had several community meetings with area police representatives and they have been very serious about enforcing public safety in my area. My favorite 911 one scenario was about a week ago when my wife was walking the dog and she walked right past a hooker (well, she certainly looked like one at least - could have been a tranny hooker - who knows - doesn't matter) doing umm indecent and very disgusting (and slurpy sounding) things to a rather overweight gentleman in a dark car with its stereo blaring in a parking spot next to our house. She got geeked, called the cops and they were there literally in about 3 minutes. I didnt peep my head out the door long enough to hear the explanation but i'm sure it was comedy gold. Anyways, thank you, and merry x-mas coppers - keep it up and i will bake you some crack pipe-shaped holiday cookies. And to that ho's pimp, I ain't no snitch - she was in a handicap spot.
