Boston Police Protest
by TChris
As TalkLeft has reported, the police in New York have been slow to issue permits to those who wish to protest the Republican National Convention -- although NYPD claims it will begin issuing permits next week. It's much easier for the police to protest than it is for ordinary folk, as they're proving in Boston, where 300 officers are picketing outside a meeting of the U.S. Conference on Mayors. That's a picket line that John Kerry, an invited speaker, won't want to cross for fear of losing the police union's endorsement. Let's hope NYPD officers learn from their Boston colleagues that protest is actually a good thing, not something to be discouraged or foiled.
