Boston police reported that 17 individuals were arrested for blocking the Men's March, with charges including disorderly conduct and unlawful assembly. Most were offered community service deals.
The police narrative described the arrested were part of an unruly crowd that pushed back at officers, which escalated their actions to assaultive behavior, leading to multiple arrests.
Riley Dowell, the daughter of Rep. Katherine Clark, was among those arrested. Dowell, who identified as trans, faced charges including disorderly conduct and had a previous assault charge.
Reports indicate that the majority of arrested counter-protesters may have their charges dropped in exchange for 40 hours of community service, though some faced more severe charges.
