PAX Centurion - April / June 2016

www.bppa.org PAX CENTURION • April-May-June 2016 • Page 55 “People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” George Orwell especially in schools and gyms and other public places. Funny how Liberals always tout the tag “it’s for the children” of course they can actually work a bit harder and craft a bill that’s “for the children”. How soon before this ends in disaster… H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H MartyWalsh will be travelling to China on a junket, and will speak to the Commies on pollution. Hey Mr Mayor, instead of spending all that cash to go around the world, why don’t you trot over to Frontage Road. The new traffic light cycles are causing traffic to gridlock all over the city, as well as causing countless hits and near misses for pedestrians. Oh, and all those cars idling cause…pollution. Either that or change the name of that Department from Transportation back to TRAFFIC, because that’s what they’re causing. H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H Your BPPA Food Truck was on the job again during this year’s Boston Marathon, serving up over a thousand hot sandwiches, as well as snacks and liquid refreshments to our members as well as other first responders assigned to security duties. Yes, we even fed a few firemen too! Joining us were, BPD Detectives, NYPD, NY Port Authority PD, and Providence Special Signal Fire. And for anyone that thinks slinging a spatula is easy duty, I can say from experience it’s a lot tougher than you realize. Of course the pic is shameless self-promoting. H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H A crazed individual; Arthur DeRosa, armed with a knife attacked two women in their home, killing one and injuring the other, then, this just discharged from the hospital deranged maniac, smashed a car into the Emerald Square Mall in Taunton, and attacked shoppers. An unarmed teacher tried to stop the attacker, but was fatally stabbed, and this rampage would have continued but for the actions of an off-duty Deputy who shot Derosa and ended the spree. Lucky for the Deputy, the DA and his boss went to bat for him, praising him for his quick action.I’m proud to add a “good job, Sir” as well. I’m shocked no one complained about the Deputy violating the mall’s no weapons policy. Remember folks the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun (or in this case a knife), is a good guy with a gun. Carry. Everyday. Everywhere. H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H Harambe, an endangered gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo was shot and killed by zoo officials after a child fell into his enclosure. This action sparked an uproar from animal right’s activists and others of the shooting with the MMQB’s tossing out all kinds of solutions. Funny not one of those present risked hopping in there to save the kid. I’m with the zoo on this one, it was a damn shame but no matter how endangered the species, saving another human is paramount. Now for those of you do-gooders who are so concerned about animal rights, the Great White Shark is threatened, so I’ll be hosting a swim with the sharks day off Cape Cod. Free bacon wetsuits will be provided with ham flippers for those wishing to participate. H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H I mentioned the transgender bathroom story already, but it got me thinking, gun owners and smokers outnumber transgender people by a wide margin,YET why are they being treated poorly by Big Government and Society in general? Think about it, smokers are subject to usury taxes on cigarettes, forced outside in all kinds of weather, and treated with a general disdain by non-smokers. Gun owners also face intrusive background checks, absurd regulations, high fees for licensing, and Gun Free Zones. How about a politician or two pandering to these groups? They encompass every slice of America. White, black, rich, poor, Republican, Democrat, man,woman, straight,gay, tall, short, fat, thin, you get the picture. We smokers and gun owners should DEMAND Equal Rights! So light up wherever you want, and say you’re identifying as a non-smoker or carry your gun proudly nad claim you identify with the unarmed sheep. Why not, it works for every other group… H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H A Boston cop was filmed by a do-gooder taking a jaywalker to task after that guy struck his car as he was driving by ON A GREEN LIGHT. The media ran with it, and it was lead story stuff. Now I ask you, gentle reader if that cop was say a carpenter or a plumber, would it have even been a news worthy? I think we all know the answer to that one. No further comments as this is an on-going investigation into a nothing incident. H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H AnAuburn Police Officer Ronald Tarantino Jr. was shot in the back and killed by a career criminal, Jorge Zambrano, who was out on bail for other offenses. Tarantino had stopped an SUV with attached plates on what the media always refers to as a routine stop (but we cops are all wise to that phrase). As Tarantino walked back to his cruiser, this human piece of filth shot him. Tarantino died shortly after at the hospital. When Zambrano himself was killed by a State Police SWAT team, the ensuing investigation revealed (what we seasoned Officers know) a broken system that left this oxygen thief among the law abiding citizens. Lax judges, case heavy parole Officers, and other liberal policies allowed him to continually weasel his way forward to that fateful encounter. Now children are fatherless, and a wife has become a widow, becauseWe as a society have bought into the fact that everyone is a victim. This is a LIE, there is EVIL among us, and society needs to realize that the Police are there to keep the Zambranos of this world under control, and in order to do that, Society needs to realize we do isn’t always pretty. H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H Well, Summer is here, or close enough that we can feel the heat, and you all know what that means; Parades, Walks, Races, Protests, and the vacation manpower shortages. What do these things all have in common?Yup, you’re ORDERED!! Guys and Girls, we work long hours under stressful conditions, almost always shorthanded, so PLEASE BE CAREFUL. In today’s anti-police climate, that one second you let your guard down or daydream may be the one second some scumbag decides to take his best shot or some social justice warrior with a camera takes his. All we have are each other, so watch your back, and check the six of those you work with too. We get little or no support from John Q. Public, and the media is more than happy to portray us as greedy racist thugs, even though we aren’t. We’re only strong when we are together, so let’s do just that.
