If West Roxbury doesn’t want a road diet, I’m more than happy to take it on Hyde Park Ave 🙋🏻‍♀️ Forest Hills to American Legion is one of my least favorite stretches of road. FYI this useless thing has been covered in graffiti so long, reported to 311…nothing. -fed up Rozzie res

Police details are essential to keep officers in our neighborhoods. They’re extra eyes and ears on the street. They are a deterrent factor. We are understaffed. I see firsthand detail officers catch criminals after shootings, stabbings, hit and runs, etc. #Boston

@WPBradley He isn’t the first person charged and/or convicted for murder without a victim’s body. If there is enough enough to persuade a jury he committed a murder, no reason to believe they couldn’t find him guilty. Difficult but not impossible.

If you want to know about policing, ask a police officer. Ask a few. Do not just rely on the news. Definitely do not rely on social media. Ask how you can be a part of any solutions.
