Boston Police “Save” The Day Again

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Breaking News, News

(WBZ) BOSTON There were some tense moments in Boston’s financial district Wednesday morning as police were forced to blow up a suspicious device.

The bomb squad shut down busy Devonshire Street after someone spotted a green box chained to a no parking sign.

The box turned out to be some kind of traffic counting device and was completely harmless.

Still think the head of Cartoon Network should have been forced to quit over the Mooninites scandal?

BREAKING!:
Alan Stewart Carl has this…

I hear the Boston police have now surrounded Fenway Park after getting a tip that there is a Green Monster inside.

We’ll have more as it develops!

Before long they’re going to start blowing up mailboxes.

Is Massachusettes becoming the new idiot capitol of the US? They’re seriously giving Florida a run for their money lately.

Remember that the 2 planes that crashed into the WTC took off from Logan. The terrorists slipped right through security with ease. I think that is probably the reason why everyone is so jumpy up here.

We had a great laugh here at work at that comment. You made my day.

I think the Boston Police need a required course in developing & using common sense. A green traffic counting box chained to a signpost is legal & something most of us (except cops) would recognize. The middle finger salute signs were placed illegally, giving the cops a minimal excuse for idiotic behavior in blowing them up.

I sincerely hope the traffic division sues city for hiring idiots as police commanders for destruction of a legally placed device. Perhaps the Police Chief needs to be forced to resign. Or at least be the first required to take that course & pay the costs for the traffic counter & its controlled demolition from his own pocket. Thanks, Justin , for the much needed laugh of the day
