Boston City Council condemns attacks on police after violent protest, street takeover


The Boston City Council passed a resolution condemning attacks on police after a street-racing takeover and pro-Palestinian protest turned violent this week, the latest of which sent multiple officers to the hospital with broken bones. Thirteen protesters were arrested in the melee, one of whom was charged with punching a police officer in the nose, breaking his nose and smashing his glasses, while another protester fired pepper spray into the face of police trying to clear Tremont Street. The Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association, the city’s largest police union, posted the resolution on X Wednesday, thanking the City Council for “condemning the attacks on our police officers.”
