Every time -- sort of a new administration that the last time this happened I guess was sixteen years ago when the weld came and the Republican. And he wanted to do something about it and that they did the same thing they they even had more cops stated the they had a hearing in Gardner auditorium and down the basement of state house. All these cops in full dress uniform they did that that auditorium seats about 400 people with thank. They spilled out onto the idea on the the state house law and that there were cops everywhere that was the end of that they gave up you know couple of you know renegade. So long stride introduced legislation over the next few years but they never went anywhere so this year they tried to take another run batted in and a again they -- the cops turned out in and that Deval Patrick just just just caved immediately. Just. To be fair just like his Republican predecessors. 18774694322. Brian you're next with our cargo ahead Brian."

" Are you an idea that -- itself. I didn't feel chaotic attention cops directing traffic catching the Providence of -- right."

" No nobody it's not it's not a law that they have to use cops."

" I don't how outlook if they -- police are out there aren't it would have to -- No nobody -- would agree with me that it's. Absolutely not. Yeah it's that's not a -- utility companies dependent feel they can't go out to deliver a budget so."

" Amnesty in some places you need. You need details I can I tell you a story about a friend of mine Brian. You know the way it is if you if you have a party at your house you have X number of larger sport that a cop act. Not. As you Lar go yes if you. You yards boy it's in the Italian in most -- war disposed of crop there is so. -- so sometimes if there's nothing going on in you don't have a cop there for -- what party the props for coming around a half ago so my friend was having a party. On Mother's Day. Okay. He called the police station and said can -- get I get somebody on the tail and they said we don't have anybody to Mother's Day. And he said well aren't I going to get into trouble I don't want to cop coming over and Haslem made it you know what they said forget about it."

" What do you mean they they what they just."

" I expect it's like like. All might have to collapse in the rubble might have a lot of forty up it would traffic duties."

" What do they do we. What is now it's just. Protecting the public by look at -- hall."

" They're making it -- of people do commerce and the city get destroyed in a safe manner described multiple different crops indeed seem out there."

" you don't and but you'll and I agree with you may be an. Ten -- maybe 10% of the of the details may be more in some cities. Are are necessary to protect the the construction crew or their utility crews. But in most places there's no -- need for a --"

" How it is a potential -- McLaren give them enough cops out there."

" why don't they why don't the city's pick up that it's you know the thing I would like. It no I don't. Want to pay for right because I don't think it's I don't think it is your cops so you have -- I'm sorry to say that you have vested interest in in in promoting this. This fear it among people it ended in the read the reality is that except for a few isolated neighborhoods. This there's not there's a lot of violent crime in Massachusetts. You don't need it. Cops out on the street."

" Yeah some. That would coordinate your network out in most neighborhoods and you've been able to buy yourself away from crime that exorbitant so you get your golf mobiles that we and it doesn't make you spend your money you can pry you away from five loss."

" You don't want to. I used to live in Somerville too -- and and you know what you didn't support too many damn detail cops in Somerville even though the town was overrun with gangsters."

" Are we stop -- oh you -- don't -- it again aren't you ever read this -- corporate -- when I'm sure it's it's I don't belong to a country club -- Brian it's -- would get you know that. You know directed the CEO of that KeySpan based they just -- that was regularly -- the housing here. I would -- number where they divert time and a half."

" Huge but you're not no you're not doing any thing. -- You keep you're keeping people safe a look at in the long --"

" I think you're what -- down Newbury Street in a ghost come to lobby utility and are you in your pocket. There was not a direct control -- want to -- up yet what's."

" Flexible was robbed of two million dollars in cash and Newbury lot of somebody rubs me the going to when he box whether it's in Newbury Street parity other street thanks for the call -- mates and those of too -- Place it was a frontpage in New York when a guy got robbed of 55000. Dollars cash that's I think -- walk around with forty times that much drew your next with how we cargo ahead drove."

" Soft on every -- as a lot -- you know after a couple is on the Bob Dole -- opposite. Thought we only we're supporting you all are -- it sort of people aren't."

" Hate cops drove."

" We haven't got a spirit itself open necessarily equal -- what. His support of the public are your personal."

" But I -- I dispute your premise I don't think most people hate cops. Purse say. Don't like think they don't like to get pulled over they wonder why the cops are have to go lie you know eighty miles -- power with the -- flashing blue lights when they never see anything happen now where -- But but you know they don't hate cops but -- just say I don't think details add to that the respect. The the average citizen has for a cop."

" It's all going to need it all -- unfortunately. Oh it's always ultimate all in all of it but it said. X number of all nobody else shall keep so well. If you want what I am retired now -- wanted to get away. -- a crowd what we want it promotes -- call at fox. The -- me and -- the field goal -- probably police officers were killed in this and also -- I couldn't you know. Obama is -- a at least it's but."

" I -- only in the summertime ordering that. --"

" And it's better on Newbury Street. I tell you it's just as bad and it's worse in Boston -- that's in north Conway it is a disaster. But it it's it's a disaster at night in the resort communities in Maine. But it doesn't make any difference whether it's a cop or college student with the with the -- in the traffic."

" My final point. A if you can't flatten and -- what people immediately. Can box well how much of the profit after the company. The paid health insurance and whatever shorts they ought to promote whatever it it would -- the company tried to say. -- it's already almost. What happened to -- Of course -- the same thing but that didn't see it and you know what we pull -- And ideas."

" I and I know I highlight all I know is when -- see in star and in start truck and I know the Lampe in and in star bill. And ice and -- cop in the cubs make it 3540 dollars an hour I know is as they somewhere west the pay that and start bill I would rather have a guy there was making ten bucks an hour. I don't I you know why you're right bigamist the going to skim off some of the extra money -- if they don't have to pay you guys. But I I just I want to keep the overhead as low as possible is since I'm picking up the -- thanks for the call drew. 1877469432. To somehow point --"

" Why would he want to have -- dollar in the."

" Well I thought I had to go -- 18774694322. And got. That's it what doubted them I. I think it's pick -- I think there's another where he says everyone's pick them up pops mr. acts 1877.

" We're -- guy that director ever talk about being intimidated. I I kind of realized why it seems so let's all electric possible beat but what can be done -- what you're -- I don't think these guys come on your -- certainly extract from them. The link specious argument at least that's the superiority in that they -- that that anywhere. And the more -- the words they block the stupid they look at the more hopeful I am about that caught the -- that -- they keep up the good work."

" Gibbons moral low volume remember the last time that -- last time someone try to do something about this in any kind of organized. Way with the leadership. Was sixteen years ago so -- we've we've had this little. Outburst of reform this week. And it's over now. Where would we have to wait another sixteen years now another two how would. 20/20 four -- of every ever won't be ready to go forward again. 18774694322. Bob you're next with Howie -- go ahead Bob."

" You know what I like Bob and where I live in Norfolk County this but sometimes they they ran out of cops so that they started putting on retired cops. And then they ran out -- retired cops and they started putting on -- guards from the Norfolk County house a collection. I mean these what does a guard at the Norfolk count accounting house a correctional about directing traffic."
