Earlier today, the Phoenix posted a letter on our website from James Carnell, the racially insensitive editor of the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association (BPPA) newsletter, the Pax Centurion. As expected, Carnell has no apologies for anyone who he offended, nor does he respond to the numerous charges of corruption that this publication and others have leveled at his union.

One week after the Phoenix featured the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association (BPPA) and its racist newsletter on our cover, the union responded with a letter on its web site – not just to us, but to the general “media fury” that's exploded since the release of their May-June issue. It is not an apology letter.
