Editor's Note: Framingham Police Chief Steven Trask issued a statement tonight, May 31, just before 8 p.m. on the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. On Monday, while handcuffed Floyd, a black man, died in police custody in Minneapolis. A white police officer Derek Chauvin pushed his knee into Floyd's neck, as he cried that he could not breathe. On Tuesday, Chauvin and three other police officers were fired, after a bystander's video showed the incident. The FBI is now investigating the death, and on Friday arrested Chauvin.

FRAMINGHAM - As a long time member of the Massachusetts Major Cities Chiefs organization, I echo my organization's statement regarding George Floyd's death.

"The Massachusetts Major City Police Chiefs stand firm with law enforcement professionals across the Commonwealth and the nation and strongly denounce the egregious behavior exhibited by the four officers in Minneapolis, leading to the tragic death of George Floyd. These types of actions are no way indicative of the professional policing that is displayed on our city streets each and every day. Our heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences go out to the Floyd family. We all must learn from this tragedy so that it never happens again."

This has affected every member of the Framingham Police Department deeply. The Framingham Police Department has embraced the pillars of President Obama's report on 21st century policing and strive to follow them everyday.

The Framingham Police Department stands with the residents of Framingham denouncing this abhorrent behavior and sends its deepest condolences to the family and friends of George Floyd.


Trask said he thinks a lot of the violence is being spurred on by "fringe groups," who do not care about the peaceful protests, but just want violence.

"I highly suspect it's done by folks who weren't part of the peaceful protests," said Trask. "Outside fringe groups are fanning the flames.

When you get a large group of people together with emotions running high, they may have good intentions, but sometimes a mob mentality can set in."

Yeah! Just like the 26 police thugs that were overcrowding Eurie Stamps, Sr's house on January 5, 2011. That's why officer Paul Duncan tripped and shot Eurie Stamps, Sr, in the head.

Good cops know who the bad cops are.
If good cops don't start calling out bad cops, then they become just as bad.

What's the difference between a police officer and a bullet?
When a bullet kills someone else, you know it's been fired

How do you turn a pussy into an asshole?
Give it a badge and a gun.

If you see a cop, start filming. The life you save may be your own







It seems our holier than thou police chief Steven Trask is really hypocritical on this issue.

On January 5, 2011, officer Paul Duncan blasted a hole in the back of Eurie Stamps, Sr. neck by tripping over his body, thus brutally killing the 68 year old retiree, just trying to find some drugs (which they did not find).

Officer Paul Duncan's penalty for negligent homicide was a very nice 3 month vacation followed by continued employment by the Framingham police to this day.

Less we forget the Framingham police motto (on each cruiser).

Recently, Steven Trask stated:

I am extremely proud of the dedication, commitment and professionalism shown by Framingham police officers over the past year (blah! blah! blah!).

The Framingham police do not want to buy or use body cameras simply because it would show their true colors and obnoxious behaviour.
