I live in Massachusetts, and you see a lot of signs about how the person living in that house supports the police. No shit. We all support the police. We’re against the police that Break the law and effectively make good cops look bad. It’s astounding. You’re going to support bad cops? Or you’re gonna question the legitimacy of an election because some New York real estate developer tells you that you should? And therefore by any means necessary you’re going to overturn the result? Including attacking the police? Makes no sense.

Respectfully, you don’t speak for me in MA. We do not all support the police. Happy Holidays, cheers!

You had better not pay taxes then. That goes right to their salaries!

Those taxes also support things like healthcare, schools, social services, safety regulations, and more. Taxes are a necessity of a civilized society, one that cares for its members. Not Eve is perfect. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. I will pay my taxes happily, but also vote, speak out for what is right and for those needing help, and physical get involved with the community, with protests and an assortment of other actions.

No, we do not. The mayor of Boston does not, and obviously it's a popular position because she got elected.

She’s in contract negotiations with them right now.

Advocating for reform isn’t not supporting the police, it’s advocating for reform. Wu is a good mayor. Smearing her position to fit your agenda is disgusting.

I don’t know Wu, but she deserves a chance.
