@jbmckim @BostonGlobe From an unreasonable bail system to plea bargain and mandatory sentencing all designed to oppress the poor and powerless. Everyone involved carries on knowing the injustices and corruption that exists within. There is no way the highest levels weren’t aware of what is going on.
@DefundWPD Definitely the illusion of changes! Until you see a change in hiring practices, this is a window dressing. Prove me wrong and have the next recruit class for PD and Fire target worcester residents from minority communities to make up the existing huge disparity-recruit from HS.
@DefundWPD Let us set a goals for Police and Fire minority hiring to match the diversity of City. Need to get to 25% minority in both departments in 3 years.
@LWhispah@DARollins Finally, a leader with balls to stand up to the ridiculous position of the Police Unions. I support police but criminals should be treated as such regardless if the have a badge or not.
@glenopolis @DARollins But its ok for cops to break the law. You should be outraged and disgusted when the people that are trusted to serve and protect are breaking that trust.
@rascottteach@Ilhan Legalizing will ensure use and abuse will be in open and laced drugs minimized as incentives to make illegal products will be dimensioned. In same boat but approaching it in a different way of thinking.
@worcesterda I appreciate DA Early’s attention to all these social causes. But, as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of Worcester County, I like to hear from him about issues relating to racial equity in CJS, how his office is working to be more diverse and efforts countering police abuses.
@DefundWPD@worcesterbeacon @clbergpowers Disappointed with the Chief. His statement shows he is the wrong person for the job. Worcester has so much to do on racial equity. It needs leadership that at least recognize the problem. Also, the Public Safety Committee Chair does nothing but rubber stamp Police policies.
@Specnews1worc@SenMikeMoore@InThe016@CommonTalkPod Thank you Senator. Now, we need the State to adopt clear protocols to implement effective Body Cam Programs. It cannot be left to municipalities to fashion their own. If the intent is to promote transparency then admin. of these programs has to be outside local PDs control.
