BOSTON -- An FBI official said Boston police officers should be armed with assault rifles to make the city more prepared for a terrorist attack.

Warren Bamford, the special agent in charge of the FBI in Boston, said Tuesday that he is baffled by opposition to a proposal to give some neighborhood police officers the semiautomatic weapons.

In May, Boston Mayor Tom Menino criticized a proposal to arm up to 200 officers with M-16s that the police department had ordered from the U.S. military. Menino said only specially trained units should have the guns.

Bamford said he believes more officers should have access to the guns in the event Boston becomes the target of a terrorist attack like the one that killed 166 people in Mumbai, India in November.

someone should mention to the boston channel that the m-16 isn't semiautomatic. :rolleyes:

the ar-15 is though.

I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.

I think the idea first came up a few months ago and they said the reason was to combat gang violence. Since that reason didn't fly, now it's protection from the terrorists.

Next...lasers mounted on sharks to fend off a possible alien attack from Mars.

I'm for putting dual miniguns on the hood of the police cars - a la Death Race!

I always liked those wheels with the rotating blades...in case of an emergency. They can't have anyone get in the way from them doing their job.

Personally I think the police should be required to drive chariots.

Ok.

I see a major problem. The police force in many towns and cities in MA have purchased massive inventories of SUVs. And, the town and cities are struggling to fund the salary for the police officers. Talking about inefficiencies. SUVs with 18 mpg x 10 or more adds to their expenditures.

Defeats the purpose of conserving when the public offices are spending like fire.

Does anybody know where the Police Station is located in Boston? It's located in South Boston where there are mostly black residents, peurto Rican residents, and some Asian. It's located near the Fenway. Well, a little drive from Fenway Park. But, nonetheless, I think the police are intimidated by the poor minorities.

There are quite a few police stations in Boston.

Of course there are! :D

The one next to Northeastern University, well, more closer to Simmons College is very big. Nobody can miss that.
