[MAGG]

[Admin]

Not sure if serious

Don't hold your breath.

 

[MA_Shooter]

Things will change...but they never get better.

 

[BostonVI]

I'm not sure if Ed Davis' impact was nearly as great as Menino's. No doubt his replacement with carry out the agenda of whoever controls Boston politics. Needless to say I won't be moving back anytime soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed for something positive to come out of this, although it may just be wishful thinking.

It could always get worse, I guess.

He will be a glorified manure spreader.

The sources said Davis has a teaching job lined up at Harvard University and that he is EXPLOITING other opportunities.

FIFY

 

[Hoover]

The police chief in a large city is a political position. They are FAR more politicians than they are cops. And as far as I know, all the police commissioners are appointed by city councils or mayors. And they do the bidding of their bosses. The punk in Chicago is from NYC, then went to Newark, then on to Chicago with an appointment a few years ago by Rahm. Rahm chose him for a reason and he is going to carry out the anti gun policies from Rahm.

why can't people who believe in the Constitution ever get jobs in colleges ?

 

[Garys]

35 years of service in the retirement system and he's 55. That means he's maxed out his pension and it's time to leave. The next Mayor will probably want his own Police and Fire Commissioners, so I'd expect Roderick Fraser to leave soon as well.

 

[RHJJ]

What do you mean "will"? He already is.

Yes, but put him in front of students and it will be a turbo diesel manure spreader.

So will "Shelter in Place" be a stand alone course or a field of study eligible for a BS degree?

Both will be offered free of charge for residents of Watertown...

 

[sieveboy]

Modern hero, he happened to be on .gov payroll the day somebody did some bad shit.

 

[REM870]

Meet the new Homeland Security Csar. After all he showed the feds he can impose marshal law on three major metropolitan areas and have the subjects thanking him for it.

 

[ntomsw]

So, at 55 he can retire and make what, like $100k a year?

 

[taz-2005]

How about 80% of $174,000.00 That is about $132,000.00 with no state income tax, and not paying into the pension fund any more.

They get healthcare benefits as well don't they?

 

[Hoover]

So, at 55 he can retire and make what, like $100k a year?

He'll make far north of $100k after his pension. He'll make $100k at least at Harvard with very light teaching. Then he'll also be a paid consultant to cities, states, businesses, universities, etc. since he was in charge when they caught those two highly skilled, dangerous terrorists .

They act like catching those two morons was a big deal. They set off two bombs, other than that success, they screwed up everything else. The unibomber last 15 yrs or something, these nitwits didn't make it 1 week. But Davis is an EXPERT now, so he'll be on the speakers circuit and make huge money consulting others. You'll also probably see him as the "terrorism" expert for CBS, or NBC, etc. and make big money for that. I wouldn't be surprised to see a book deal either.

I bet the first few years he'll pull in well north of $500k. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a $10 million net worth in 5 or 6 years.

You jest, but this is exactly what I heard--taking over for Janet. Of course, I heard it on the internet, so...

 

[Len-2A Training]

Maybe but he is such a boring speaker (and even duller in person) that they will all be asleep and just die peacefully drowned in manure! I pity the poor students that draw the short straws and are forced to take his courses.

Seriously, even Mumbles is more dynamic than Snoopy-dog Davis . . . even if you can't understand Mumbles, you stay awake straining yourself to make out an intelligible word or two from his speeches.

My father in law and him were actually born in the same hospital on the same day.

Filling the seat Granny Warren left when she moved to DC.

 

[Gillham]

OOO OOO!!! A chance to get my LTC-A without restrictions?


What do you mean no? [sad2]

 

[kid_fisto]

So who's next in line?

Let's not say things won't change or get better without due diligence.

I got a horse in this thing because I just blew $150 on IWB holsters I still can't legally use.
