Pax Centurion

The Boston Police Patrolmens Association Newsletter called Pax Centurion has a history of abusive, racist, sexist language. Activists, for decades, have complained about the practice of allowing public officials to publish this type of language. Recently Occupy Boston activists started writing letters pressuring officials to put a stop to it. The effort has included successfully pressuring sponsors to drop their advertising in the newsletter.
