Boston police forcibly remove pro-Palestinian tent encampment at Emerson College; more than 100 arrested
Several videos posted on social media showed a chaotic scene as law enforment officers in helmets and reflective jackets scuffled with shouting protesters, some carrying umbrellas. Many of the protesters appeared to link arms forming a barrier as officers moved in.
Arresting for what? Does anyone know what the charges were?
Last year, the mayor deemed it illegal to set up tarps and tents on public property in Boston, specifically to leverage against the growing population of unhoused people. I’m guessing that was cited.

From the article:
Viana said he didn’t know what charges the demonstrators faced but that some will likely be charged with disturbing the peace and others with trespassing.
They also were apparently reading some city anti camping ordinance to the protestors.
I do, because I read the article.
Could you please cite in the article what the list of charges were? I see: "Viana said he didn’t know what charges the demonstrators faced but that some will likely be charged with disturbing the peace and others with trespassing". Viana, in this context, being the lawyer representing the students arrested from the National Lawyers Guild. Additionally, there was mention of some city ordinances being violated, but no specifics.
Time to consider stop paying taxes as a form of protest if you are arrested for protesting there’s really no other option. Unfortunately that will get in further trouble. We’re not free
Fucking fascist pigs
Are Americans starting to see all their "rights" are meaningless? You know a few you have on paper. The law has another to take it away EVERY SINGLE TIME. You are not free, you are one misguided DAs decision away from jail and destroying your life. Everything is criminal.
Everyone dogpiled on Yeezy and yet here we are. Over and over and over again.
Wtf does a rich asshole have to do with college students being arrested like it's Kent State in 1970 all over again?
If I'm understanding what you're not flat out saying, I think we need a reminder that: Jews ≠ Israel.
You should remind the police that.
Oh man, why did they dogpile on the guy who loves the genocidal mustache man, only to go out and protest against genocide?????? Why cant they hate jewwwwwws like meeeeee.
You can pick a better source on that one. Citing Yeezy isn't a way to build credibility.
