Police to increase presence at North End feasts after two straight weekends of rowdiness
By adamg on Tue, 08/15/2017 - 12:35am
Boston Police report they will be sending in extra officers to the Fisherman’s Feast and Saint Anthony’s Feast to try to keep a lid on the "disruptive behavior" by irresponsible people at the last two feasts.
Feast-goers should know disruptive behavior such as public drinking and fighting will not be tolerated and community members who witness such behavior are kindly asked and encouraged to call 9-1-1.

It's Difficult
Because this isn't an easy thing to tame, considering the North End streets are so tiny and mostly one-ways meaning cops can really only patrol Hanover & Commercial efficiently. They just need to be more aggressive & start snatching kids up left & right and taking them into protective custody - calling their parents, because frankly, high school kids handle alcohol about as well as I handled Trump winning the election....not well.
Sounds like a job for bike cops
BPD has them - they could patrol the tiny streets and leave the cruisers to the larger roadways.
