MBTA Transit Police at Back Bay Station this morning
I submitted the following commen on Universal Hub:
When I came up the stairs from the Orange Line and saw the firepower, I asked them if I could take a picture. The guy on the left gave me the go ahead. I stepped back, made the snapshot, and thanked them. The guy on the right was curious about the book in my hand, Blogging Heroes. They’re just two professionals doing their job. Aside from the special equipment and tactics, they’ve likely trained to spot suspicious behavior. Nothing deters terrorists and troublemakers as well or as cost-effectively as a well-armed well-trained presence. Morning commuters in London and Madrid would have been lucky to have this kind of protection when they needed it.
