What kind of sheltered existence do you live under? Thanks for the laugh.

Time for you to brush up on the legal system, and also check the actual police stats of how most interactions result and how they get adjudicated when they become controversial. In short, stop just checking headlines because you can’t see the forest for the trees

Ah yes, when far left means just approving mass murder by pig

Sure thing, boatshoe

Ah yes the far left psycho who makes a new account to then spam argue all over Reddit. You’re definitely a level headed individual.

What do you think was mis-handled in this situation?

There are a few major decision points that happened in this encounter. Which one should have gone differently?

First, police responded. There was the decision for them to show up to a call about a person jumping out a window and cutting themselves with glass and a knife. It would be great if we had a mental health task force to respond to these incidents, but we don't. Police are, currently, the only option. So you've got two options. Either police respond, or we decide that from now on, people are allowed to run around town with knives.

If the police respond, then when they showed up, he ran. Some people see an issue here. Should the police pursue the potentially dangerous person, or should we say "if you don't want to be around the cops, you should be allowed to run away"?

Then, he ran at police with a knife. Should they have to wait until one of them is bleeding out before they can use their guns?

I'm particularly confused about this event in the wake of the criticism around Uvalde. Are police supposed to respond to people causing physical harm or not? Yes, in this case the guy started with harming himself, but he was running through the streets and it's not a stretch to think he could have moved on to other people. And of course we can't create a world where anyone can go on a knife rampage, as long as they start by cutting themselves.

I am legitimately interested in hearing your opinion, and if it's compelling, I'll change mine too but what particularly should have been done differently, and what does it have to do with fascism?

Police brutality is obviously a very serious and real problem, but I just don't see why this is an example of it.

That’s because they’re scum of the earth

Give us more excuses! Oh those poor little fascists :(

It’s telling that you only have hyperbole

Cambridge city Councillor Quinton Zondervan said police body cameras could violate individual privacy

Does anyone know who this flaming pile of shit is and why he exists in Cambridge at all?

no problem :)

That’s my point lol

popping a tire is pretty easy.

any gnarly bomb shelter looking space half full of broken glass.

what punk bands are you booking?

Well, Royal is old-school Italian style, and Lyndell's is old-school Jewish style, but yeah. Both longtime favorites of mine.

In my humble opinion, Flour is overrated, but to each his own.

Has anyone ever splurged on one of the amazing custom creations at Oakleaf? Do they taste as good as they look?

Side by side, the cupcakes from Flour are much much better than Lyndell's. I've had both dozens of times. I stand behind what I said. I don't need a history lesson.

Lyndells is the way to go if you have a major sweet tooth!

In addition to the other good ideas here, there is a lot of expertise about schools generally, and the lottery in particular, on the cpsparents email list. You can get some info at https://cpsparents.groups.io/g/main or just subscribe via email to main+subscribe@cpsparents.groups.io. It's been quieter lately but this is just the kind of question where the wide-ranging membership there will likely have useful comments, both about the lottery and specific schools.

I would not say above / below. They're different kinds of places. Flour is far newer (opened in 2000), fancier, pricier, does a lot other than pastries. Lyndell's is much older (opened in 1887), traditional, less expensive, focused on pastries, and pretty high volume. Both are good but if I had the OP's needs I would choose Lyndell's. (Royal Pastry is also an older, more traditional bakery similar to Lyndell's in style.)

Thank you all so much for all the suggestions!

Royal Pastry Shop in E Cambridge did a fantastic job for daughter's cake. Tasty, light, artfully decorated. Reasonably priced. People were asking where we got it afterwards. Not sure about pudding filled but you can certainly inquire! http://www.royalpastryshop.com/

Might want to consider going for this local Italian/Portuguese-American mainstay. It looks like their website may have lapsed but they have wonderful rum cakes.
