Alleged dumbasses partake of some overnight hospitality at city expense
Locations
Boston Police report on three incidents early this morning:
When officers separated two battlin' betties at Causeway and Lancaster streets around 1 this morning, the more combative of the two was having none of it:
[W]hen officers asked suspect #1 to provide identification, suspect #1 threw an id at the at the officers and stated, "Get it yourself." While officers attempted to question suspect #1 about the incident, the suspect became verbally abusive towards the officers. When officers informed the suspect that she was being placed under arrest, suspect #1 grabbed at one of the officers gun belts and yelled, "Arrest me! F*#k you!"
Proving chivalry is not dead, the officer promptly complied with her request.
This was about 40 minutes after officers busted up a party at 16 Stockwell St. on Mission Hill, allegedly given by a couple of young men not old enough to be in possession of alcohol themselves, let alone to be providing it to others.
Around 1:55 a.m., police say, they broke up a shouting match between a bicylist and a cabbie at Boylston St. and Mass. Ave. over who was at fault in a near collision between the two. Police say they arrested the cabbie when they determined he did not have a license (ah, something else to think about the next time you get into a Boston cab).

City life...
...means that encountering such behavior is pretty much inevitable. Oh well.
Although it didn't seem to me that "suspect #1" resisted arrest. Heck, she even asked the officer to arrest her. Seems more that the officer was ticked off at her general attitude and lack of respect for him, and decided to throw a "resisting arrest" charge against her in retaliation. Although, of course I can't say for sure since I wasn't there.
If this was a just world,
If this was a just world, you would have to work the night shift in downtown Boston for a year.
That does not follow...
Why would I need to work the night shift in downtown Boston for a year? I never said the officer in question had a comfy job, and as a rule of thumb I respect law enforcement officers for their crucial role in upholding the peace, but having a tough/boring job doesn't justify unjust treatment of others.
Oh yes the people there were just plain folks ...
I take it you have never lived in a small rural town, either.
I will cheerfully admit...
...that I have never lived in a small rural town. I did not mean to offend anyone with my previous post. However, you gotta admit that it's pretty much inevitable that such behavior is going to happen in the city.
Pretty much inevitable, true
But it is pretty much inevitable ANYWHERE people are and there are police/sheriffs/constable/etc. around.
Stupid drunken human behavior knows no geographic distinctions.
