So today I went to the straight pride event in Boston. I spent a lot of my time handing out water and snacks to counter protesters.
During this time counter protesters were arrested, people were pepper sprayed, a friend of mine had a police bike slammed into her throat twice.
A Trump supporter stalked someone through the crowd and grabbed someone and started a physical altercation.
A cop at one point shook his pepper spray in my face. It wasn’t until I pulled out my phone that he walked away.
At another instance a cop stood in front of me with his hand on his gun.
When the protest ended the cops pushed us away from the straight pride people using force. They used a barricade of their bikes. I was chatting with my friend collecting water when suddenly I heard screams, people running, and I felt pepper spray sprinkle my face. People were being carried away from the police to have milk poured in their eyes. At least 5 people were sprayed in that instance. Eventually someone was hit by a police motorcycle. At some point a tourist group got hit by pepper spray getting a child. A child was pepper sprayed.
All of this happened across the street from the Holocaust Memorial and along the freedom trail.
Here is to help with the bail fund:
