The Request

I requested all emails sent by Town of Brookline accounts containing the keyword "butcherie" from June 16 onwards.

This request was motivated by the incident where a brick was thrown through the window of The Butcherie.

Analysis

The response is 619 pages. I scrolled through them and marked some things I found interesting:

page 29 google drive link to cctv footage from the butcherie
page 232 Freundlich case (Iris Hotel) on whether the bomb threat against the Palestinian owner was a hate crime
page 254 on whether the brick-throwing was motivated by a Greater Israel map
page 258 the brookline pd incident report
page 275 discussion on whether to include the word "antisemitic" in the selectboard's statement
page 282 communication with FBI, Brookline PD Detective advocated "attempting to submit a geofence."
page 311 FBI responds no to geofence, and "We aren't opening on our end at this time"
page 471 citizen submits nest video
