[From article] A former Lowell beat cop hired by Menino in 2006, Davis will leave the department within 30 to 60 days, officials said. He will take a teaching post at Harvard College, but is still in the mix for the top homeland security post under President Obama and is exploring other potential opportunities, sources said.
President Eisenhower recognized the dangerous potential from the military industrial complex. Today there is a more sinister danger, the military industrial academic complex. Just as there exists a revolving door between the K Street lobbyists and the elected criminal class in Washington D.C., there appears to be a mini revolving door between Massachusetts government officials and Harvard University. Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis is going to Harvard University, following the Cambridge City Manager. The Massachusetts economy is dominated by education. Harvard University dominates education. Laws are enforced unevenly in Cambridge and in Boston based upon the desires of the President and Fellows of Harvard College. If a law is inconvenient for Harvard's interests, the laws are ignored.
Robert Healy another Lowell export served Harvard University's interests for 31 years as Cambridge City Manager. He is now employed by the $32 billion endowed University Leviathan. What courtesies did Commissioner Davis perform for this unmanageable non profit education institution that makes kings in a democracy? Davis appeared before Congress saying the FBI did not share information about the Boston Marathon bomber suspects. The FBI, Deslauriers said, did share information with the Joint Terrorism Task Force to which the Boston Police belongs. Richard Deslauriers retired and went to work as security chief for Penske Trucking in Michigan. Davis got a better gig.
Janet Napolitano got an even better reward as President of the University of California with a $9,000 month house in Oakland. Harvard University and Napolitano gave up freedom for security. Will Davis help Harvard University end any notion of freedom for residents of Massachusetts?
