In support of COPs

[Subvet642]

Some years ago, I was working security at a housing development in Boston's Mission Hill. We had a BPD detail officer with us at night. One of them, an old timer, told me how when he was a rookie they would paint their night sticks flat black so that they wouldn't register so well on film at night. That way they could beat hippies over the head with it and it was less likely to show up in the papers. Good cops are worth their weight in gold, bad ones are a toxin to society. BTW, we had to do patrols, unarmed, in places that the cops wouldn't go.
