So, a bunch of kids are always out front trying to rip BlueBikes out of the harnesses. Which, OK, fine.
But it's loud as fuck because they're trying to shake the bikes out of the harness, and they'll go at it for up the half an hour.
So, I went out there to ask them to stop, and after two requests, they did. But, like, wouldn't it be nice if you could call trained people without guns to talk to them for you?
Non-police alternative response teams have been discussed in Cambridge, and there was some momentum, but there isn't a number to call, and I can't find out what the status of it is. I think that the further we get away from the George Floyd murder, the less likely these alternative response forces are to actually happen.
