Former Boston police commissioner William Gross Thursday endorsed City Councilor Annissa Essaibi George for mayor, the latest turn in a fast-moving and crowded race where policing has been a front and center issue. “It was an easy decision,” said Gross, who was the first Black police commissioner in the city’s history before he abruptly retired in February. Essaibi George, said Gross held him accountable as commissioner, “but she was fair about it.” He recalled that whenever she had a question about policing she would call to ask, while other politicians “run straight to the media without allowing us to quantify or contextualize anything.” He recalled her calling to check in after a police officer dies or a first responder is hurt on the job.
