Boston PD Knew About Police Union President’s Abuse Allegations For Years. Why Wasn’t He Stopped?

The Boston Police Department and the Boston Police Patrolman’s Association reportedly knew about past union leader Patrick Rose, Sr.’s alleged sexual abuse of multiple children for decades before finally arresting him in August 2020, according to a story published by the Boston Globe this past weekend. On Monday, Acting Mayor Kim Janey said she would release documents pertaining to the Rose case once the victims’ names were redacted, promising to shed light on questions that enraged residents and local officials are now asking about how Rose was able to remain within the ranks — and out of prison — for so long. Boston City Councilor Lydia Edwards joined Jim Braude to discuss.
