This morning Chief Nick Willard asked me about the 99.9% (or 99.7%) of protesters whom the Boston Police commissioners claimed were in the city for a peaceful demonstration.

There’s 40,000™ of you and a few of them (so the story would have to go), just do the right thing and reign in your hooligans.
Well, maybe they didn’t want to reign them in. Maybe they support them. | More…
