Last week, after a massive Nor’easter hit the Northeast, parkgoers in NYC engaged in what started out as an innocent snowball fight but took a turn for the worse when NYPD officers were pelted with snow and ice, resulting in some injuries for the officers. The incident drew national attention because NYC Mayor Mamdani and NYPD are at odds over criminal charges for the individuals who threw snowballs. Larry Calderone, President of the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association checked in and discussed not only the NYC incident and what the Boston response would be but also policing in Boston including their ongoing police shortage.
