Guts Up, Mayor Mitchell, and Stand With the Police [OPINION]
Let s see some guts, Mayor Mitchell. The New Bedford Police Department is under attack by a left-wing collection of Boston-based social warriors. Will you stand with the police, or will you kneel?
Boston Globe say the local police, primarily 10 officers, most of whom belong to the gang unit, focus unfairly on Black and Latino youth.
CJJJ spokesman Leon Smith told the
Globe, There are clear and significant patterns of racial bias in policing in the city of New Bedford. That biased policing really creates an oppressive environment for young people who are growing up in that city and are being watched and surveilled constantly, Smith said.
