Came to recommend Jack! For what it’s worth, he is an immigrant and has been a long-time staple in the area. He is incredibly skilled, knowledgable, and respectful.

Your comment on r/CambridgeMA was deemed to be either uncivil or harassment. Repeated incivility and harassment will result in a ban

Sorry! Had chipotle last night. This won't happen again... for a while.

I’m sorry, that was me

No but my dog was acting weird this morning, maybe she heard it.

There were some strong wind gusts this morning, around 25/30 MPH in some places, maybe the wind was shaking your house?

Any evidence it didn't happen? The default should no longer be to believe a police press release.

Not that they’re lying, just that you can’t take their word at face value.

I think they are probably telling the truth, but given other examples of police misconduct, I want to see other evidence

I woke up to what I thought was my upstairs neighbors moving around. Maybe it was actually this.

Whoa whoa whoa-WHOA-OH

There are worse things

No, but I now have Eddie Money stuck in my head.

I say this as someone very inclined to believe the CPD, but: as of right now, we only have their say-so that the guy with the machete rushed them. There have been many, many cases of police shooting people fleeing them, and then subsequently lying about the shot person having been attacking them when they opened fire, and even some proven cases of police planting weapons afterwards to substantiate bogus claims.

That's the reason there's all this negativity towards the police. Because police have been caught so many time lying about "having" to shoot someone who "attacked" them, who, evidence later revealed, had done nothing of the sort.

But like I said, my inclination is to trust CPD because they are CIT trained, and I've seen them handle mental ill people in trouble with skill and gentleness. I hope I am not proved wrong to have that faith in them.

I don't get all the negativity towards the police. Are the issues with policing? Definitely. But a bloody guy with a machete was running around. This is exactly why we have CPD and it's not an easy job on calls like this.

I guess, but it hasn’t stopped them before so I still think it’s fair to be skeptical.

And for the record when it comes down to it I really do believe this is what happened. But im not gonna take the cops word for it

Yes of course.

My point is that there are too many cameras out there now and it's getting more and more risky for cops to do stupid crap like that.

Do you acknowledge cops fudge things even in the 21st century?

When anything happens now first thing people do is whip out their cell phones. Especially in Cambridge.

How is that prejudice?
