This is exactly what the POST Commission was supposed to be for.

#ITS OUR DYSTOPIA EVERYONE

>The Blackstone report recommended the town share its findings with the Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission, which has the power to suspend or terminate Laudon's certification to work as a police officer in the state. The commission declined to say whether it has launched an investigation into the issue.

This story has been public for some time now. I first heard about it last year. They're not investigating it. They haven't really done much of anything, as far as I can tell. Cases like this seem like they would be an easy PR win for the Commission to let people know they're trying to make changes, and yet .... nothing. Won't even make a statement on it.

He did have prior experience tho

Ok, so what you're telling me is that you dropped out of school, you're feeling pretty goddam self-conscious about it so you're making this story about you. You should work on that.

Instead of repeating yourself you should try coming up with an argument actually holds water. Because you’re a long way off from that.

Some the stupidest people on the planet have college or graduate degrees.

Your take is hilarious and based on fantasy. Want to make it harder to be a cop, absolutely, claiming that has anything to do with child predators is hilarious. Civil service exam, background check, drug test, physical fitness test, psychological exam, police academy that lasts 3-6 months depending on the state/department. If that isn't enough hurdles to stop someone who is simply looking for victims, then having a degree wouldn't be either. A GED also gets you a job at Chuck E Cheese or the local batting cages, for without all those hurdles and way more access to potential victims.

Should i put larger spaces between the words? This isn't hard to understand. It *reduces access*. Predators seek access to victims. They seek the quickest way to achieve access to their victims. By increasing the difficulty of the barrier to the position, you are going to turn away people who don't have a genuine vested interest in the work.

So again, show me how people with only a GED are more likely to be child molesters. Someone please make the connection because I don't see it. Is their some data available? Because the problem in this story is a child molester.

It's an issue of access. Predators and power hungry thugs need to have access to their victims. Making it harder to gain that position is a win for everyone.

OP is coming from NYC. I’m sure Framingham is fine.

I almost feel like this could be cause the school has more of a financial incentive to do that? Chief brings attention to this—-> people see UMass Dartmouth as a bad school——> enrollment drops? Idk it could also just be that it’s just an extremely corrupt institution. Some palms were probably greased.

Also the chief did the right thing, which is great, but the bar’s pretty low if we are patting him on the back for this.

We are talking raising the bar stay with us!!!!

The sad part is the suburbanites who were conditioned into groveling to the cops

They have no idea and they’re millenials. Another generation of spineless cowards who think the filthy pigs are there to protect them

Most white people have not a clue, they’re sheltered and benefit from the system. Subsequently they’re conditioned into closing their eyes when it comes to reforming police

Lol you must have never been to Chicago, those people got road rage with a capital R, doesn’t matter what time of day or what age. They all drive as if they’re ready to fight

👍

😂

Overly broad generalizations.

I wouldn’t wanna walk home from the train station in Framingham at night to that place.

It’s beautiful just the way it is. Any attempt to make it more realistic would ruin the concept and the crisp contours of the design. Its perfect.

Funny how you took it personally, it doesn’t seem like your skin is thick enough to realize how vanilla you are. Now now. It’s ok just keep your head down on the sidewalk like a good little robot, you’ll get MA ego points for it, and make sure to do de dunkkkieeeeeeesss 🥴

Go on out to the "liberal west" then, your piss poor attitude will not be missed here

Crazy

I got nothin 😂 Enjoy your evening

There’s also at least commuter rail in Worcester too, so if OP wants to be in central-ish MA, can’t drive, and wants some nightlife and diversity, Worcester might not be a bad option.
