Boston sends mental health worker to deal with violent criminal: worker injured, suspect shot dead by cops

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu

Police "reforms" in Boston replaced cops with mental health clinicians and social workers, and on Saturday one of those clinicians was attacked by a delusional man wielding a sword. The suspect, who has not been publicly identified, attacked the clinician as well as police officers with a sword. 

Cops responded by shooting and killing the suspect.

The incident took place near the Northeastern University campus on Saturday morning in Boston. Officers were responding to a 911 call about four people armed with guns and the caller was in the apartment building. After officers arrived at 212 Hemenway Street and located the disturbance they called in a mental health professional with the Boston's BEST program, according to Mass Daily News.

The program, in which mental health professionals ride along with cops to de-escalate tense situations, has been running since 2011. The EMS clinician deployed to the scene spoke to the man for 45 minutes through the door before the suspect pushed open the door and attacked. 

"He immediately opened the door and struck the clinician and an officer who was outside the door. He was armed with some type of sword, stabbing the officer in the arm and knocking the EMS clinician to the ground," Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox said. "One or more officers, which is under investigation at this time, fired a taser and weapon at the individual, bringing the person to a halt."

The suspect as well as the officers and clinician that were attacked by the suspect were taken to the hospital. The suspect was later pronounced dead. "This was a very chaotic circumstance. The individual was clearly in some sort of mental distress," Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said.

Boston EMS said in a statement that their employee had gotten injured in the altercation."Our focus tonight remains on the two members of Boston EMS, including one of our BEST clinicians, who were treated and transported to the hospital after the incident on Hemenway Street in Boston. Both suffered non-life-threatening injuries," the statement read.

"Today serves as a reminder of the dangers inherent in this work and the sacrifice our members make every day. Members of Boston EMS show up to save lives, not to be assaulted. No one should face violence for simply doing their job. Our thoughts are with our injured members, the Boston Police officers, and everyone affected by today’s incident."

Tim Walz does the left's signature' Nazi comparison: says MN now home to new Anne Frank story because he isn't very bright

√

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, that lovable Midwestern dad who once ran for VP and somehow forgot how to spell "accomplishment," decided Sunday was the perfect day to drop a Holocaust comparison bomb.

The failed Democrat vice presidential candidate told a press conference that immigration operations in Minnesota are basically straight out of Anne Frank's diary.

"We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside," lied Walz. "Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is going to write that children's story about Minnesota." Yeah, where the Jewish Somali violent criminals were too scared to be seen on the street, lest they be carried off to a Mexican concentration camp or something similar.

This gem from Tampon Tim came right after a Customs and Border Protection agent shot and killed Alex Pretti, a nurse who was getting in the way of their work in the city. Pretti's death follows just weeks after Renee Good was shot and killed after trying to ram an ICE agent with her car in Minneapolis. Since Good's passing, rioters have turned up the heat on federal agents enforcing immigration law in Minneapolis, blocking them, threatening them, the whole charming package. Protesters love to greet the agents with uplifting slogans like "Kill An ICE, Save A Life," which is the opposite of saving a life. 

Walz, of course, pointed the finger straight at President Donald Trump for all the drama in his state. You would think with all Trump is accused of, his power knows no bounds and he controls the universe.

"There's one person who can end this now," Walz said, referring to the president. And by "this" the left means stopping law enforcement from removing dangerous criminals off the streets and when appropriate, deporting them from whence they came.

Timmy's outburst is just the latest chapter in his ongoing one-man show against federal immigration enforcement. Last year he called ICE agents "Trump's modern-day Gestapo." No wonder the simple-minded left is fired up to attack ICE officers.

 Other Dems like the corpulent Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu have pulled similar stunts.

Even newly-elected New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill jumped in Sunday, telling CNN that ICE is like the communist STASI, East Germany's secret police.

Trump administration folks fired back, saying Walz and other Minnesota leaders are basically cheering on "terrorism" against ICE agents now that threats and attacks have exploded since Trump took office.

"Minnesota insurrection is a direct result of a FAILED governor and a TERRIBLE mayor encouraging violence against law enforcement. It's disgusting, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche posted earlier this month. "Walz and [Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey] — I'm focused on stopping YOU from your terrorism by whatever means necessary. This is not a threat. It's a promise."

Ah, Timmy. Always ready to turn a routine enforcement action into Schindler's List: Minneapolis Edition. Classic Walz.

But one thing's for sure, if this creates violence on the streets, Walz will do what he's known for--the cut and run.

Boston PD defy Leftist Mayor Michelle Wu and secretly aid ICE

Okay guys, today we're diving into a story that's going to make your blood boil and your patriotism soar! Boston, that liberal cesspool run by Mayor Michelle Wu,  the Democrat darling who's all in on the sanctuary city nonsense, is getting a reality check from its own cops. That's right, the cops are fed up with Wu's anti-ICE, hug-a-thug policies and are secretly working with federal immigration officials to lock up criminal illegal aliens. 

According to acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, who dropped some serious truth bombs on Howie Carr's radio show, Boston's finest are quietly passing critical intel to ICE to help snag these dangerous illegals. Wu's administration is so far up the sanctuary city rainbow, they're practically shielding criminals who should be deported faster than you can say "Build the wall!" Lyons put it plain and simple: "They can't cooperate openly out of fear of getting in trouble or getting fired. But they're helping us anyway." 

Can we get a round of applause for these patriots? These cops are risking their necks to keep Boston safe, even if it means going rogue against their own mayor's woke agenda.

Now, let's talk about Wu. This woman's been waving the sanctuary city flag like it's her job, refusing to work with ICE and peddling this garbage narrative that criminal aliens deserve a free pass. 

Meanwhile, the streets are turning into a war zone, and the cops are stuck cleaning up her mess. Lyons didn't hold back, pointing out that this isn't just a Boston problem, it's happening all over the country. "We have so many men and women on the Boston Police Department and other jurisdictions that are so pro-ICE, that want to work with us and that are actually helping us behind the scenes," he said. The rank-and-file are finally saying, "Enough is enough!" They're not buying the left's "open borders" bull crap, and they're taking a stand for law and order.

And here's the kicker: these aren't just one-off criminals. Lyons made it crystal clear that Boston’s dealing with repeat offenders: illegal aliens who get released back into the community to commit more crimes. "There are so many of these criminal aliens that keep getting released to go out and commit more crimes that the local law enforcement have to deal with," Lyons said. "We can take that violent criminal alien instantly out of the neighborhood." 

But Wu is doubling down. She's out here calling ICE officers "neo-Nazis" and Trump's "secret police." This is the kind of unhinged, virtue-signaling drivel you'd expect from a coastal elite who's never had to deal with the fallout of their own policies. 

Meanwhile, crime’s spiking, communities are suffering, and the cops are stuck playing whack-a-mole with the same criminals Wu is protecting. Lyons isn't fazed, though. He has a plan, and it’s glorious: "We're definitely going to, as you've heard the saying, flood the zone, especially in sanctuary jurisdictions," he told Carr. "Boston and Massachusetts decided to say that they wanted to stay sanctuary. Sanctuary does not mean safer streets. It means more criminal aliens out and about the neighborhood. But 100%, you will see a larger ICE presence." 

Louder for the people in the back: SANCTUARY CITIES ARE NOT SAFE CITIES!

This is a full-on rebellion against the woke overlords, and I'm here for it. The fact that Boston's cops are working behind the scenes with ICE proves that there are still heroes out there who care more about protecting Americans than kowtowing to political correctness. 

Wu can keep screeching about "compassion" while her city crumbles, but the real MVPs are the officers and ICE agents who are fighting the good fight. The question is, how long can Wu keep up this charade when her own police force is undermining her sanctuary city pipe dream? 

Spoiler alert: the tide is turning, and the rule of law is making a comeback. Keep the pressure on, guys.

Whites not invited to woke racist Boston Mayor's Christmas party

Democrat Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is planning a [formerly] secret no WHITES Christmas party but her aide accidentally sent the "electeds of color"  group email out by accident. 

Oops, your racism is showing.

Naturally, decent people of all stripes were pissed off after the racist woke Wu invited city councilors to a holiday party intended only for non-whites, or as she put it, "electeds of color."

The apartheid party is set for December 13 and labeled "Electeds of Color Holiday Party." In spite of Wu's aide, Denise DosSantos, and her battle with the English language and the process of using email correctly, the meaning was clear. Unfortunately for Wu, DosSantos sent the email out to all councilors, some of whom were not 'electeds of color' and thus less endowed with enough melanin to make the cut.

Wu's racist colleague followed up the email she sent 15 minutes later apologizing and clarifying that the invite was not for white people, but only six councilors who were born not white.

"I wanted to apologize for my previous email regarding a Holiday Party for tomorrow," DosSantos, a black racist, wrote. "I did send that to everyone by accident, and I apologize if my email may have offended [whitey] or came across as so. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused."

So if you happen to be an elected white city councilor, don't be offended at the segregation.

DosSantos, a proud, woke racist POS, made no apology for actually planning to host a racially segregated party. Wu has been slammed by outgoing City Councilor Frank Baker, who told the Boston Herald that it was "unfortunate and divisive."

No, it's racist. Damn racist. Imagine if they had a "White Electeds Party."

Wu was elected Mayor of Boston in November 2021, becoming the city's first racist female and first Chinese American mayor.

China proudly has named a culinary dish after her win: sum dum cluck

Boston Mayor blasted for sending list of her critics to police

Boston's Democrat and comrade Mayor Michelle Wu, whose most significant accomplishment was being born Asian American, is facing criticism from conservatives for her Orwellian/"Nixonian" tactics. Her administration has come clean and admitted to creating a list of her biggest critics and providing those names to local authorities.

"The list was made in response to a request from the Boston Police Department after the Mayor had been harassed and physically intimidated by individuals for several months outside her home, at city functions such as the annual neighborhood parks coffee hours, and at other public events," Wu spokesman Ricardo ["Little Ricky"] Patron said in a statement to the Boston Herald.

The acknowledgment by her staff that it had compiled the list came after it was uncovered in an email obtained through a public records request by Wu's opponents, the outlet noted. It is not clear if her opponent is also on the list, but it's very likely.

The tactics used by the administration,  raise concern over whether Wu and her administration are attempting to silence or intimidate her critics, many of whom have protested outside of her home, like the left did outside the homes of SCOTUS justices Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. 

"The request (from police) came after many of the individuals on the list repeatedly impeded the Dorchester Day Parade to harass Mayor Wu and her family and staff, yelling through megaphones at her and her children for nearly ninety minutes as they marched in the parade despite being asked by parade organizers to leave the parade route," Little Ricky said, according to the Herald.

The Herald reported that Wu's actions drew comparisons from some critics to the late President Richard Nixon, who was famous for compiling lists of political opponents. It is also reminiscent of banana republics--the kind that doesn't sell clothing, and the lists the IRS and FBI have compiled against conservatives.

Wu aides Tiffany Chu and Brianna Millor were also cc'd on the email, which was sent after protests at the mayor's home in the Roslindale neighborhood of Boston last year, after which an ordinance was passed in Boston prohibiting protests outside of the Democrat mayor's home during certain hours, but not outside the homes of Republican officials as far as we know.

Wu was sworn in on November 2018. She is a staunch advocate of the socialist "Green New Deal" and as mayor signed an ordinance divesting companies in the city that derive more than 15% of their revenue from fossil fuels, tobacco products, or prison facilities [where, ironically, many in politics belong].
