The abrupt retirement announcement Thursday of Boston Police Commissioner William Gross unleashed a torrent of speculation that upended Boston politics, which is quickly shifting amid the imminent departure of Mayor Martin J. Walsh.
Gross, the city’s first Black police commissioner, addressed the most pressing rumor himself. No, Gross said, he would not be running for mayor. But even with Gross’ declaration, questions persist.
Why now? What’s next? Would he endorse a candidate or play some other political role?
