[*BCM*] Boston PD no friend of a cyclist

[Robotica]

you are mistaken if you think people are angry because the cop is an
authority figure.

it is not my job to pursue my enemies.  in fact, it is illegal.  this
is why i pay taxes, so that the law can be enforced and i can go about
doing *my* job.  yes, it's a priveleged attitude, but i pay for that
privelege.

so i'd appreciate it if you didn't call me a spoiled little rich girl
simply because i'm upset that a member of the law enforcement
community is picking and choosing which laws to enforce (yes, road
rage is a crime).
