No, a couple of my good friends are cops. Most of the Boston pd are old school, hard nosed Irish brawlers. Even the young guys have that attitude.
Working in the nightlife industry before, I got to know quit a few detail cops. Needless to say, they do not f**k around.
With all the colleges in the city, on top of the crime they have a short fuse, lol. I have seen many a drunken, out of state, yuppy get there head kicked in. They are busy battling gangs, drugs and all that other shit. So they do not cut people who cut in on there time any slack. The cops around here don't play games.
I have some stories I can type up if anyone cares.
