Ozzie D, NP-hard :bikepump: :vegan:Full text of Quincy City Councilor Dan Minton's Facebook post (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/813425713128189/permalink/1333310797806342" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/813425713128189/permalink/1333310797806342</a>) of 2025-02-08:<blockquote>At the time of the press release, I had no knowledge of the plans to add statues to the new Quincy Police Station. The following is my personal statement addressing the issue: In 1980, when I first became a Police Officer, I was given a small statue of St. Michael, the archangel of Police, as a gift. The intention was to find comfort that a specific Saint was the symbol of justice and a spiritual warrior who fights evil and ultimately watching over those in law enforcement. Although this may provide spiritual comfort to some Officers, religion aside, the image of the angel brandishing a sword or spear to the devil to ward off evil, may not translate to contemporary times. Although it is only a statue, the violent image is not the way Police Officers conduct themselves. I don’t know if this new statue is going to depict the same violent image but from what I have researched, most do. It made me think of brutal force and I don’t want citizens to connect this statue with the way our Officers treat anyone. The statue would be misleading when it comes to the QPD, where members strive to keep its citizens safe. Although there are dangerous incidents which make headlines, what often goes unnoticed is the department’s humanitarian efforts in daily interactions, whether it is a one on one basis, or with community groups, or one of the many outreach programs. The Quincy Police Department has always had a solid reputation of compassion to all, often under unpredictable and stressful circumstances. The statue does not reflect this. Generally, people don’t want to enter a police station -it is usually something bad that has happened, ranging from an act of violence to a simple parking ticket. The statue may not be a welcoming presence to someone already ill at ease. I am not in favor of more statues throughout the city or at the new police station. If there is to be one representative of the Police, then let’s consider one of a Police Officer (of normal size and less expense) welcoming the public. Let’s go back to having photos (at significant savings) in the station lobby, of our proactive Police Officers involved in community programs or helping citizens. This is the portrayal I would want, making the public confident they will get the service they need, not one of violence displayed by the St. Michael statue of "us versus them," but rather the image of the well-known Rockwell painting, "The Runaway" which depicts a Police Officer coming to the aid of a young boy in need.
