When the @CambridgePolice say they deployed a "sponge" at #SayedFaisal moments before killing him last week, I am pretty sure this is what they are talking about ....

This looks like the Nerf Blaster from Hell. No way do I ever want to be on the business end of that. there's no way *anything* chambered in 40mm is "Less than Lethal"—not when that's the same caliber for grenade launchers. @CambridgePolice has learned nothing since 2004. #cambma

Two young formerly-imprisoned women filed a lawsuit yesterday against a former prison guard for repeated sexual assaults, & against officials at the women’s prison in Framingham – the individuals responsible for protecting them, supervising guards and aiding their rehabilitation.
For decades prison officials have been aware of the imminent risk of sexual assault that imprisoned women face at the hands of prison guards and their obligation to prevent it. Yet Framingham officials failed to prevent a prison guard from carrying out his abuse for nearly 6 mos.
With this lawsuit the women seek to prevent any more women who are imprisoned in Massachussetts from becoming victims of sexual abuse due to Framingham’s failed policies. The women are represented by attorneys Connie Tran and Zachary Lown of Boston, MA.

"Is Kevin Hayden fit to be district attorney?"
Hayden, the newly appointed Suffolk County DA who is seeking a full term this fall, is giving voters a lot of reason to question whether he is fit for the job after a recent Globe report cast doubt on his willingness to hold law enforcement accountable for misconduct.
His sloppy response to the story has only made matters worse since then.
But the publicly known details suggest that Hayden’s assertion is not true.
None of that sounds like a very linear timeline. Indeed, when it comes to holding law enforcement accountable, Hayden’s office’s actions look uncomfortably like a throwback to the see-no-evil prosecutors of the past.
But his appointment of Mullen — making a former defense lawyer for police accused of misconduct his top deputy — is a troubling sign of where the district attorney’s sympathies lie.
