"About an hour later, about 200 to 300 protesters clashed with officers a few blocks away. The crowds blocked a road, chanted over amplified bullhorns and interlocked arms to prevent police vehicles from passing as officers attempted to respond to an unrelated emergency, the department said. When officers tried to move the group to the sidewalk to allow emergency vehicles to pass, protesters surrounded police cruisers, kicked their doors, and ignited smoke devices and flares, police said."
"Thirteen pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested in Boston after a chaotic clash with police that resulted in four officers being sent to area hospitals for non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said. Everyone arrested at Tuesday's protest was from the area and ranged in age from 19 to 27, police said. They are due to be arraigned Wednesday and Thursday, most on charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and disturbing the peace."
"Hamas militants killed around 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped 251 people, and Israel responded with a massive military campaign that Gaza health officials say has killed more than 67,000 Palestinians. Local news footage showed protesters and police officers shoving one another and even wrestling on the ground. Video showed protesters shouting, "Get off of him," as officers were restraining someone."
Thirteen pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested in Boston after clashes with police that sent four officers to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. Arrested individuals were local residents aged 19 to 27 and face arraignment on charges including disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and disturbing the peace. About 200 to 300 protesters blocked a road near Boston Common, chanted with amplified bullhorns, interlocked arms and obstructed police vehicles while officers attempted to respond to an unrelated emergency. Protesters surrounded police cruisers, kicked doors and ignited smoke devices and flares, leading to physical confrontations and wrestling captured on video. The demonstration coincided with the second anniversary of a Hamas-led attack that precipitated the Gaza war, which has resulted in heavy casualties on both sides.
