Nothing to see here folks. Move along. Downscale Crossing is very safe.

Years ago I got to know the manager and staff well. One of dozens of private clubs in Cambridge with a liquor license. Sparse membership. Renting of space cheap for whatever.

He has already said he plans to take the T to work "every single day" so he can see firsthand all the problems commuters are dealing with and to "put his money where his mouth is"

Let's focus on making the existing lines work before we start trying to make a low value, high cost high speed rail project happen

Stop & Frisk worked excellently for NYC crime rates.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not but I see uniformed officers on line at Dunks all the time.

Alas the glory will be short lived until the Turkish American Culinary Club blow up their walls with their Köfte cannons.

lmao @ brookline turkey impressions

Even flashing their lights and telling the miscreants to move along would be better than nothing, as a signal to those nearby that the cops actually give a shit about their safety and comfort.

It took almost 1 hour from the moment i stepped foot in park to getting kicked off at DTX. Then another 40 before hitting my station. It's like they try to find a new low every day.

They need a federal takeover like the Washington DC metro got in 2015. This is not purely a leadership issue. This is a system wide issue.

I've heard of that happening in NYC so I'm not denying what you mention exists. I guess my general question would be what does everyone consider the appropriate police action if the police see a roaming group of teens harassing people doing their best brookline turkey impressions or worse.

are they supposed to pull their gun on them and make them all lie down on the ground and get cuffed? chase them and tackle them? flash their lights at them? seems like 1 or even 2 cops trying to deal with 10-15 unruly individuals could pose some issues

A wise man once said that on your first day as MBTA chief you should hit the longest serving employee with a chair to show everyone else you mean business.
