    | A handful of clergy and community leaders blasted Boston police union leaders Tuesday for demanding that patrol officers be armed with long guns, sayingthe request was racist and a “step in the wrong direction.”  “We found the letter to be racist, unnecessary, and really overly aggressive to the city in general, the [police] commissioner, the mayor, and the black community,” the Rev. Mark Scott, associate pastor of Azusa Christian Community Church said in an interview Tuesday. “It doesn’t reflect the real on-the-ground conditions in the city of Boston or the hard work done by the community and the police.”
