There was a time that Desi Dhaba had a line out the door for lunch. Prob 15 years ago, and back when Dali was considered one of the best Tapas restaurants (maybe it still is, I just haven't been since then). Was a great cheap lunch served on a metal tray.

West Cambridge, near Fresh Pond

I live near Harvard square. I’ve never had to park more than a block from my building. Except for steet cleaning days… we don’t talk about street cleaning days

I had the same reaction the first couple times I drove down there, but I've since realized it isn't really any different from a normal curb. It just feels like they narrowed the street. I don't think it'll be a problem for drivers that are "unfamiliar" with Brattle, but they might take some getting used to for folks that drive in the area regularly and aren't paying attention. I'd rather see those drivers plow into a concrete curb than take out a cyclist.

this came up in a recent listening session for garden st since they just installed these there. these cement blocks are used in place of the standard flexposts in historic areas. nevertheless they are practically invisible at night and there needs to be a different solution

>Officials said police and paramedics were first dispatched Wednesday around 1:15 p.m. to the Cambridgesport neighborhood after a 911 caller reported a man had lept from the window of an apartment building holding a machete. The caller said the man was sitting in a courtyard outside the building, cutting himself with both glass from the window he broke and the weapon, which police later identified as a kukri knife — a short sword with a curved blade, about 10 to 12 inches in length, Ryan said.
>
>Police found Faisal bleeding in an alley behind a building on Sidney Street. According to the statement from Ryan and Elow, he ran from police for several blocks through Cambridgesport before he encountered officers again on Chestnut Street. When police asked that he drop the knife, Faisal ran toward officers, the officials said.
>
>An officer shot Faisal with a non-lethal “sponge round,” which did not stop him, Ryan said. As he continued approaching the police, “holding the knife at one point across his body, and then holding it raised out in front of him,” an officer shot Faisal with a department-issued gun, she said.
>
>Faisal received first aid at the scene by police until EMS services arrived. He was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he later died, Ryan and Elow said.

>In their statement, they asked members of the public with information or video of the incident to contact Cambridge police.

>The officer who shot Faisal had about seven to eight years of experience on the Cambridge police force. He has since been placed on paid administrative leave, in accordance with department policy, Ryan said.

>She declined to say how many times Faisal was shot when asked by reporters at the press conference Wednesday, indicating instead that the information would come following an examination of the man’s body by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
>
>Elow said officers are “extensively” trained in mental health responses, de-escalation, use-of-force and crisis intervention. She said the officers “tried several times to engage [Faisal] verbally” before shooting him.
>
>“This lasted over five blocks from where we first encountered him,” Elow said. “We tried several times to de-escalate the situation.” The encounter between Faisal and police lasted more than 12 minutes, Ryan said.

>Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui and City Manager Yi-An Huang, in a joint statement, said they were “deeply saddened” by Wednesday’s shooting. They offered condolences to Faisal’s family and loved ones and pledged that the city and police would assist in a “thorough and transparent investigation” into what occurred.

exactly a year ago, a Springfield Cop was attempting to apprehend a suspect, when he was stabbed in the face, then fatally shot him. Here's the body cam footage.

Almost all of it. You get a permit when you move in.

Thats known as parcel V, from the developers plan. There are no known plans but looks like some sort of building is expected.

200 Dunkin’ Donuts .

Land space wise mostly just a park, probably with a small retail shop attached with a dog park as well.

Plus they'll be buried with a little snow

Have a link to the footage?

>In 2018 and after two years of discussion, Cambridge passed a comprehensive Surveillance Technology Ordinance that at the time was one of the “most collaborative and progressive in the nation and the first of its kind on the East Coast.”

>The goal of the ordinance was to ensure city government doesn’t engage in unwarranted surveillance, said then-Councilor Craig Kelley.

>More: ACLU calls Cambridge’s new surveillance ordinance a ‘victory’

>While police cruiser dashboard cameras are exempt under the ordinance, body worn cameras are not.

Rough.

Bruh, no one cares about your karma except you apparently. You’re getting downvoted because of your shitty takes. Still waiting for explanation and proof on how the police lied in this incident.

nah should be fine

"My politicians" have never once proposed, much less enacted a ban on police cameras. If a politicians, who I sure as shit didn't vote for, voted to ban police cameras, I will bet my absolute bottom dollar that it was done to appease the police union.

The police union and their political control over local governments is the beginning and end of 95% of policing problems.

And to be crystal clear, there is no law against police cameras. There is an ordinance that doesn't explicitly carve out an exception like it did for dashcams, but again, that exception was explicitly not carved out at the behest of cops.

There is basically no group of any serious size that is against putting cameras on cops, except for cops, and politicians that have been corrupted by cops. The only two serious groups in the world against putting cameras on police are corrupt cops and corrupt politicians. Unfortunately, corrupt cops and their corrupt politicians do in fact have a lot of power.

Hopefully this man's death will lead to policy change, one corpse at a time.

Probably Royal Punjab since that's on Cambridge St about 100 yards from the CVS at the corner of Cambridge and Third.

lmfao can i get an invite

British police vs man charging at them with knife.

British police vs man charging at them with machete.

British police vs man charging at them with two knives.

That's just the first three hits searching YouTube for "british police vs knife," there are hundreds of others.

Note: I do think that the police have the right to defend themselves, and occasionally a gun may need to be the weapon of last resort. However, it should actually be the last resort.

It's hard to know what happened in this case with no video footage.

Yeah, that's a typical case of two liberal ideas at odds with each other.

While one could argue either side, I'd say police oversight trumps surveillance worries.

That looks to be Parcel V on this conceptual master plan. It looks to be some kind of building facing O'Brien Highway and the other buildings on Gore and Cambridge Streets. Also some sort of plaza facing Cambridge Street. https://www.cambridgema.gov/-/media/Files/CDD/ZoningDevel/SpecialPermits/sp179/sp179_stationplaza_20200413.pdf#page=6

Place sucks

I browse reddit on average 4 hours a day for about the past 12 years. I can't recall the specific post, sorry but I have seen many videos of police interactions/conduct both good and bad on Reddit.

Do you have a link? I’m genuinely curious

>Indian restaurant that is always empty but never goes out of business

Are you talking about Desi Dhaba in Lafayette Square because yes.
