The Boston Massacre
Was the first case of Police Brutality in America. I believe the British Soldiers were found innocent although a couple of them were branded with hot irons.
tumultuous times
it must have been an interesting time to be alive.
Not to put too fine a point on it...
...but, according to the article, news of the massacre reached London on April 22nd. What happened 250 years ago today was the news being reported in Boston about what happened when London heard of the news (about 8 weeks earlier).
