About 5 Weymouth Police came barging in the one male grabbing me extremely hard. They had a warrant for my ex stemming from the MY original charges I pressed against him for abuse. I had no problem speaking with them. They refused to show me any warrant or even explain why they were in my house. I am not a criminal I do not have a criminal history I obey the law I called the police over a year ago for help when I was brutally attacked by a man in my home and the first thing this Male officer did was aggressively put his hands on me. Totally disappointed in how flawed the system is. Serve and PROTECT. I do not feel I am safe or PROTECTED. They treated me as if I was not a human with feelings. I've always have been respectful and cooperative now I know why these public servants get the negative reviews that they do! I'm sorry if I this isn't written very well I am still extremely rattled by what just took place. I will come back to make some corrections later on. Just needed to express my opinion somewhere unfortunately it won't make any difference. Long story short they had a warrant for the ex I called the cops on over a year ago and they still have not produced any paper work saying they had the right to be on my house. My son and I have lived in fear bc of this man and the last time I did call for help the abuses wad let out I was punished by him for calling the police and again by the police who threatened to call DCF and treat me like the criminal not the victim. They have no clue what life has been like and for them to act in such an aggressive manner when it wasn't warranted adds to the trauma my son and I have been subjected to for years. Too many suffer in silence bc have treatment such as this by those who are meant to keep us safe. I called the police to keep me safe they removed the threat and they still reported to DCF and my son was removed from the house bc of the stay away order I placed to keep him away. The bad guy won again. Even from behind bars this man gets to control my life. Did I mention after the fact he was taken out of my home for domestic abuse the Weymouth Police proceeded to give this man a phone to call me while in their custody!!! I am disgusted and I have no idea who to call or what to do I just know this was handled completely wrong and innocent people including a child had to pay

The cops were nowhere near as buff as their sloshed challengers (that means drunk), but the element of alcohol probably tipped things in the cops' favour, as did strength in numbers. Anyway, it was comical and brutal and scary all at the same time. The same men had been racially abusive inside the Chinese restaurant where I was eating at 3am (Double Chin), and hadn't paid their bill. They'd wanted to lay a beatdown on the employees, but the cops had been nearby thankfully. Four stars for responding so well, minus one for so many crappy, illegal parking tickets given out.

Since the police did not have my phone number, they apparently contacted the library using the library card in my wallet, and the librarian then gave me the number to call. When I called and explained this, the person who answered seemed confused about why I was calling and asked who had contacted me. I had to repeatedly explain that I was calling the police department because I had been told my wallet was turned in there, and that a librarian had relayed the message to me. What should have been a very simple conversation was unnecessarily confusing and frustrating. I expected clearer and more competent communication from a police department.

I must confess two of my uncles were Massachusetts State Troopers, which is another great group of tough cops. But the Boston Police were awesome as they used a robot, flashbangs, and a thermal camera to apprehend second Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev . The Police Chief recounted in a press conference shortly afterward just how they got the bleeding guy hiding in a Watertown backyard boat. Additionally, the Police made great use of their Twitter feed by communicating with the public about exactly what was going on.

This is my story about my encounter with a Hyde Park traffic cop…read more Warning : Rant Alert. I've lived in Hyde Park for over 12 years without a single traffic citation. But my luck ran out in June 2014 when I decided to pass a traffic officer that was driving BELOW the speed limit. Around 25 mph. I passed him and was subsequently pulled over. I thought I was in a dream state. I thought to myself "No way he can pull me over for doing 35mph on Hyde Park Ave" But I was wrong. The cop asked us why we had the audacity to pass him. It was as if his ego was hurt due to my passing of him at 35 mph. After waiting 15 agonizing minutes while he was searching my records he hands me a warning and said "Don't pass me next time". I sheepishly agreed and said " Thank you. Sir!" Although I did not receive a fine. I am irate at these cops harassing law abiding citizens to justify their jobs, protect their egos, and meet there end of month quotas. It is time for law enforcement to be held accountable to the people that they work for. We need to keep them in line and communicate any injustice we experience because of them however small or large. They should be working in our best interests. We should not have to beg for their mercy every time we encounter them. I am asking everyone to speak up. Critically Review your local police departments. We live in an age of connectivity. Let's use it too everyone's benefit. Thanks for reading! P.S. Rules of driving on Hyde Park Ave: You can drive 40 mph 95% of the time. But slow down on weekends and whenever the weather is beautiful (clear skies, no precip). The local traffic cops don't like to work when it's not nice out. Also, as you may already have learnt from my rant. DO NOT PASS A TRAFFIC COP CRUISER. STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM THEM AS POSSIBLE.

The towing charges $140, not to mention the hassle that these people put me through for no reason. They could've just taken the car and I would've moved it the next morning. It was not blocking anybody. Welcome to Cambridge.
