NYTimes: He Fought Boston’s Blue Wall of Silence. Now He’s the Commissioner.

"Officer Cox, who is Black and was in plainclothes, had been mistaken for a homicide suspect after a high-speed chase, and a group of his fellow officers had beaten him viciously, kicking him in the face and bashing his head ." 
"We are not going to be defined by our past, but we are not going to ignore our past, either. Because it is inextricably bound to who we are."

"One thing I know about police departments, not just here in Boston, but everywhere — they're just not readily susceptible to change," Mr. Ellison said. "But change is here."
