We're ready, all right. 71 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.560 Let me just start with this question. If you date, 72 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.599 how's the crime rate been? And I know you can't 73 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.560 only speak about Boston Newton, nor am I asking you to. 74 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.800 But are the cops communicating with each other across the 75 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.400 communities or local like is Newton to talking to Brookline? 76 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.919 Is Brookline talking to Boston? Is because you border you're 77 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.560 bordering Boston, Newton, Jamaica. Plane which is Boston too? 78 00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:20.879 Right? 79 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.520 What else do we border West Roxbury, Boston? 80 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.240 That's it? Yeah, just Boston and Newton are the only 81 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:28.319 two towns that we that we make contact with. 82 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.919 So you do as police talk to the others, or 83 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.919 chiefs talk to chiefs, politicians talk to politicians, or we 84 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.240 all on our own in our towns and cities and 85 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:38.719 kind of really. 86 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:44.879 So we belong to several different communications, you know, media 87 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:50.960 venues that we communicate with other communities. One example is 88 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:54.319 the Fusion Center, right, and it's and that's specifically targeting 89 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.360 you know, terrorists, intel intelligence. So Brookline will communicate with 90 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.080 the Fusion Center, and the Future Center is made up 91 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.120 of several different agencies. I can't really go into specific tay, 92 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.080 so what's what they share? But we are constantly communicating 93 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.719 with our neighbors. For example, the breaks that we have 94 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:16.399 had recently. We in constant communication with Newton PD because 95 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:23.120 it appears that these subjects maybe targeting more affluent communities, right, 96 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.319 so we want to make sure we're sharing the same 97 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.240 information with the towns that are similar to us, like. 98 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:33.120 Newton, okay, and I know Weston now is getting bits 99 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:39.199 picking up in Western so we start looking at Brookline, Newton, Weston, Wellesley. 100 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.120 This is just common sense, like some things in life, 101 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.160 is just common sense. Sometimes common sense is so common anymore. 102 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.519 But you're right to say that they're hitting the higher 103 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:47.199 end zip codes. 104 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.560 And what's interesting about this group is there's no real pattern. 105 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:52.759 You can't figure out the patent at this point. 106 00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.279 You can't. So they'll hit, you know, a town local 107 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.639 to the Boston area, but then they'll move to a 108 00:04:58.680 --> 00:04:59.839 different region and. 109 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.319 Hit that and hit that area and then come back. 110 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.839 And then come back eventually. Yeah. So, although there is 111 00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.040 a lot of discussion about it recently, we've only been 112 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:15.480 calendar year twenty twenty four. You know, we based on 113 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.079 the modus operendi, the mo of the incident, we really 114 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:24.079 only have one weekend where where there was suspicious activity 115 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.040 and there was a break and that was the first 116 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:30.360 week of March. Prior to that calendar year twenty twenty three, 117 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.120 there was only there was only two incidents that we 118 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:37.600 can match the same modus OPERENDI too. 119 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:39.600 So when we heard that it was up to maybe 120 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.160 close to seven with this one gang, it's up to 121 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:42.759 maybe four. 122 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.639 I can't speak to other communities, no, just. 123 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.639 In Brooklyn because I thought on the zoom meaning I 124 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:49.240 heard seven. 125 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.399 I think that went back through twenty twenty two. 126 00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.000 Through Do you think these guys are around twenty two? 127 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:56.920 This is a new group. 128 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.399 It sounds like it's it may not be the same 129 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.720 actual people, but it's the same emo. It's the same 130 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.959 same type of crime. And we see house breaks from 131 00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.399 time to time that I don't know, let's call it 132 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.720 just a typical house break. These seem to be more sophisticated, 133 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.560 better planned out, better equipment there in and out. They 134 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:18.720 know exactly what they're doing. 135 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:20.439 But out of that video that I saw that we 136 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.360 alsaw these are not Americans speaking people. 137 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:24.959 We know that right, correct? 138 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.160 Okay, So, like I said, some of my clients listen 139 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:29.759 to it seemed like it was coming out of Central 140 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:35.079 America and they, as I hear, they have what's the 141 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.199 device that can lock down your Wi Fi? 142 00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.920 They have some sort of a jammer, at least we 143 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.000 believe in some cases there have been Wi Fi jammers 144 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.800 which can affect wireless security cameras. 145 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.439 So and we've had other break ins in our areas. 146 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:55.120 So it's just become what our areas just many areas, 147 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.360 not just our area, many areas. It's just a target 148 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:01.240 for what let's go rob Look, I'm a product of 149 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.879 nineteen eighty two. Right when your house got robbed in 150 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:07.079 nineteen eighty two or seventy and you're a teenager, typically 151 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.240 you weren't home. Typically there were professional robbers. If there 152 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:13.319 was such a thing as professional robbers, I guess that's 153 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.959 what the profession was. A robbers. They weren't going to 154 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:17.639 come in your house at night time. They came during 155 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.240 the day. And I think everybody would agree. If you're 156 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:21.920 going to rob me and I'm insured during the day, 157 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:26.079 then go rob me. But this nighttime stuff is nothing. 158 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:26.680 Nobody likes this. 159 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.879 That's the scariest thing about it is when they come 160 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.920 in when someone's home, right, so they'll they'll pick larger 161 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.319 homes just for that for that reason. If somebody is 162 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.240 home there on the other side of the of the house. 163 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.000 We're talking about, you know, really large properties. 164 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:41.959 Here, I would know that.

There's 251 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:30.679 always gonna be good cops and bad cops, and there's 252 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.039 always gonna be good doctors and bad doctors, and good 253 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.039 lawyers and bad lawyers, and good accountants and bad accountants 254 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.759 and good people and bad people, good builders and bad buildings, 255 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:40.840 and good builders and bad builders, and good brokers and 256 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:44.679 bad brokers, and good financial advisors and bad financial advisors. Okay, 257 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:48.360 that's just the way of the world. Most cops I've 258 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:51.679 ever known in my both cities Newtonberg Line have been 259 00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:53.360 great guys. Okay. 260 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:53.679 Yeah. 261 00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:56.960 If I got pulled over, guess what, guys, I was speeding. 262 00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:59.240 I didn't sit there and say what I do and 263 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.279 play stupid. My father said, listen, you get pulled over, 264 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.200 just admit what you did and maybe the cop will 265 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:06.840 be nice enough to let you go with a warning 266 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:11.240 and maybe not. But own yourself, hold yourself accountable. That 267 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.000 Hammond Street, I've probably been pulled over, were anybody else 268 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.919 on Hammond Street? Okay in all those years, yep? I 269 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.279 know what they did, you know. And again, you know, 270 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:22.799 I've been a building here for so long, so every 271 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.879 once in a while, you know, they do detail. They 272 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.399 I'd get a break, Sidney, just keep driving, slow it down, 273 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:28.840 you know what I mean, and yell at me like 274 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:32.159 slow it down, not nicely. You know, he's right, slow 275 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:35.600 it down. He's saving my life and somebody else's life. 276 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:39.480 So you know, I always say, look at if you 277 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.960 have a reason to feel the cops, then you should 278 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.879 feel cops. Not a drug dealer, not killing people. I'm 279 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:49.039 not doing anything wrong, So I don't feel you guys, right, 280 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:50.080 and the story. 281 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:52.039 And what's the worst that can happen? You receive a citation, 282 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:52.799 what's the big deal? 283 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:56.720 Okay? And my insurance goes up. But again, seriously, like, 284 00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.279 just hold yourself accountable. 285 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:03.159 I think the attitude towards the police as more society 286 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:04.840 based than it is an actual occupation. 287 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.960 I just so disrespected out there. Come on, he's so 288 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:10.039 disrespected there. 289 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:13.080 So I came on in a very unique position. So 290 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:15.759 I was in the academy when September eleventh happened. 291 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:18.480 And if you remember, oh, you mean a day that 292 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.639 everybody forgets this country. Yeah, oh and the other the 293 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:23.720 other people that say we did this ourselves. 294 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:25.519 It was an inside job. 295 00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:27.759 It was an inside job. Ye, September eleventh. 296 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.840 I was in the academy. So I was at in 297 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:32.840 and we were graduating in November. So two months after 298 00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:36.000 September eleventh, we were graduating. So if you remember, everybody 299 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:38.360 had flags on their cars, everybody was very paid. The 300 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:42.279 country came together everybody loved firefighters, but everybody loved cops 301 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:44.080 because there's a lot of cops that died that day too, 302 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:44.919 and who ran. 303 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:46.879 By the way, are still losing their lives from nine 304 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.759 to eleven from breathing in all that from from psych 305 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.159 guys that came out afterwards and cleaned it up. No 306 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.000 one wants to know that. No one remembers that because 307 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:55.120 they don't talk about anymore. 308 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:57.480 So when I came on, I just thought that was normal. 309 00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.960 So when I graduated in November, I had people by 310 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:01.879 and my coffee I don't go, don't and shake in 311 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:03.879 my hand, thank you very much. 312 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.120 You felt proud and it was very it was very proper. 313 00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:08.559 But I just thought that was normal, Yeah, welcome, because 314 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:11.279 I didn't know any better. But then some of the 315 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:14.200 older guys like, yeah, this is not how it usually goes. 316 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.559 But everybody was still, you know, coming off the nine 317 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.559 to eleven hangover that they were just kind of like. 318 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:21.480 Yeah, that hangover might be coming again. I have no 319 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:24.000 proof of anything, so I'm not in discriminating myself, but 320 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.960 the way you see the country going down, this one 321 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:31.120 phase me and I wouldn't phase anybody at this point. 322 00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:34.799 So all I'm saying. I was trying to get to 323 00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:38.480 the point that if anybody that has stayed on, I 324 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:41.480 know Brookline Newton as we were talking earlier, have left 325 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:45.559 the force three years off of thirty years. Now, when 326 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.399 you do your thirty years, you're full pensioned out. Correct, 327 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:50.759 thirty two years thy two years. You have to be 328 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:52.720 a certain age too, you have to be fifty five. Okay, 329 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:55.159 so if you live, if you leave two three years earlier, 330 00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:56.759 what is that a difference in a paycheck? 331 00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.279 It's a big difference. Correct, You know, you're going from 332 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.720 eighty percent, so maybe even into the sixties. 333 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:03.360 Okay, about two and a half percent. 334 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.600 Okay, that's a big deal. That's a big deal at 335 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.759 the end, after you serve for thirty two years and 336 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:10.879 you leave two three years early because you can't take 337 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.399 any more stress, right, the stress the job. But the 338 00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:17.960 big one was nobody had your backs. The politicians didn't 339 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:20.480 have your backs. The mayor is the this the that 340 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:23.120 they no one has your back, So you're out there 341 00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:27.200 fighting a fight alone. And the things I heard from 342 00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:30.559 many community cops is like I'm out, I'm done, it's 343 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.080 not worth it. I'm not going to get sued I'm 344 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:36.120 not putting my life on the line if I do something, 345 00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:38.840 if I'm found guilty, I could end up in jail. 346 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:40.480 So I'm done. 347 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:43.279 And that's kind of the number one issue that I 348 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.639 see is people are afraid to do that you're supposed 349 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:49.840 to do because of being It's not so much criminal changes, 350 00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:52.600 it's more being sued. You know. I put hands on 351 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.279 this person, you know, and I was justified. 352 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:55.960 And everybody's going to camera out. 353 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.120 Everyone's got a camera too, so. 354 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:01.080 And then they'll add it out what they don't want 355 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:02.519 you to see, right, the truth. 356 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:05.039 Right, everything is, everything is added, there's no question, and 357 00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:07.320 then everything is out of context too. And only the 358 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:10.879 TikTok video was only fifteen to twenty seconds, so everything 359 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:12.799 that led up to that fifteen and twenty seconds has 360 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.759 been heeded out. So yeah, it's a completely different world. 361 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:18.279 And it wasn't like that when I came on. And 362 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:20.639 I'm sure the deputy, you know, when he came on, 363 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:22.879 they were still on horseback. 364 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.399 But how long you've been on deputy. 365 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:28.159 Twenty five years? I came on in ninety. 366 00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:31.000 Eight and a nice way of calling him old, I 367 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:32.519 would never I would never do that. 368 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:35.759 It's got a custom the game here. All right, here's 369 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:39.840 a question to you, the same question. You like your job. 370 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:41.799 I do. 371 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:46.679 It's there's been ups and downs for sure. And you 372 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.759 know he mentioned September eleventh, when you know after that, 373 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:51.679 there was there were, there were. 374 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:54.120 It was a great feeling. America came together. 375 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.879 You know, marathon bombing was the same thing. After the 376 00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:58.600 marathon bombing. 377 00:16:58.639 --> 00:16:58.799 Yeap. 378 00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:00.000 Most people forget that one too. 379 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:01.440 Yeah. 380 00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:05.799 I was in a Twitter room recently. Yeah, they said 381 00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:08.759 in the Twitter room, Yeah, that was French people that 382 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.440 did that. I'm like, we did you read that? You idiot? 383 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:14.720 Like wire you coming up? I'm on that stupid thing, 384 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:16.319 fighting with people every night, Like I need to get 385 00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:18.160 a life, right raise I get off that Twitter right now. 386 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:20.160 I'm like, no, I'm not getting off. There's no fight. 387 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:24.640 I won't fight, Okay. So this is what I don't understand, guys. 388 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:27.440 You know, when you get into these debates for people, 389 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:30.799 they'll say, well, crime's down one percent. Well maybe it's 390 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.559 down one percent in your area, but it's up in 391 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.119 our area. So how do they say crimes down one percent? 392 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:38.960 Not that's a big swing, by the way, one percent. 393 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:40.920 I'm not taking those odds, by the way one percent 394 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.039 is not the odds I want to take. Is crime 395 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:44.839 up in our area? 396 00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:49.279 So in Brookline, yeah, I think crime is up over 397 00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:52.480 the last couple of years. Okay, not up dramatically, but 398 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:53.759 certainly not down. 399 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:55.720 Really, because I don't remember all these home breakings, and 400 00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:57.640 I build most these homes, these new homes, the last 401 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:00.640
