At least 11 arrests after Sox game
By adamg on Thu, 10/31/2013 - 11:31am
The Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports Boston and State Police made ten arrests in the area around Fenway Park last night - in addition to the guy Transit Police arrested after he allegedly ran into a Green Line tunnel.
Eight of the ten are from out of town. One of the other two lists Roxbury as his address but also said he was a Northeastern student. Four men, one a Northeastern student from Florida, one from Manchester, NH, one from Marion and one from Newton, are charged with assault and battery on a public employee; the rest face disorderly conduct charges.

So BPD
goes out in-force for the World Series where the main concern is property damage. However in Rox/Mat/Dot where people are dying , it's business as usual.
So... you think police
So... you think police presence should NOT have been dramatically increased with thousands of people spilling out onto the streets of Boston going crazy?? Did thousands of people spill into the streets in Dot/Rox/Mattapan? Use Your Brain.
Clearly you don't understand

In no way should we downplay
In no way should we downplay the daily violence that plagues the city - but are you honestly suggesting that 6-months after a terrorist attack in the city, that a major sporting event should cut down on the number of police officers on the street?
I don't know that more police officers would stop another attack, but in the aftermath of an event like that, I'd prefer to have the streets crawling with first responders.
It had less to do with the Marathon
and more to do with 2004
It's that kind of mentality
It's that kind of mentality that gave us the Patriot Act and the NSA.
Really? Having a lot of first
Really? Having a lot of first responders on the scene of a major event is what gave us the Patriot Act and the NSA?
I'm not advocating for a police state or security check points or bag searches or any of that, but you can't ignore that there were many tens of thousands of people, many of whom were intoxicated and surging on adrenaline roaming the streets into the wee hours. How would you ensure public safety?
How about the drug testing
How about the drug testing act, whereby recipients of government benefits must pass drug testing , or be denied benefits .
separate anon, but...yes

Given within a few days after the bombing, there was a massive uptick in shootings/stabbings and it didn't take long for Bostonians to kill more fellow Bostonians than the bombers did? I think it was less than 2, maybe 3 days before there had been more people shot or stabbed to death than deaths from the bombing.
Given that every time there's a major event that pulls police towards an event, there's a noticeable increase in attempted or successful homicides?
So...yes, actually.
The gangs and drug dealers
The gangs and drug dealers should anounce their schedules at the begining if the year, like MLB, so that the BPD knows how and when to respond.
