Incoming Boston mayor, police clash over AR-15 proposal

[Reptile]

Boston police are clashing with the city's incoming mayor over a proposal to arm some officers with AR-15 rifles.

Mayor-elect Martin Walsh came out against the plan over the weekend. The Boston Police Department had been pushing for a limited number of officers to carry the high-powered rifles, in light of recent mass shootings as well as the Boston Marathon bombing earlier this year.

But after the incoming mayor initially stayed mum on the idea, a spokeswoman for Walsh said he's not on board -- not yet, anyway.

33 rifles for $2,500 each?

They must have pretty good taste in rifles.

Make each carrying officer, build one. Let's make the Boston Police join us and we can get them in on the GB's, more green members!

If law abiding citizens of Boston can't own them... not sure I have a problem with the police not owning them.
