Boston Police report arresting a Tewskbury lad early Sunday for pushing an officer who was trying to keep him and some other men from re-entering the State Street bar that had just kicked them out.
After officers had put Alex Fredriksen, 22, in the back of a cruiser, police say, his brother, David Fredriksen, 21, staged an instant protest outside Kitty O'Shea's:
[S]creaming, "Free my brother!!!," [he] approached the car, attempted to liberate his brother by opening the rear door of the police cruiser. Unable to facilitate the escape of his brother, David Fredriksen was then given an opportunity to join him.
Elder bro was charged with assault and battery on a police officer, younger bro with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, police say.
Innocent, etc.
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

Erect a tollbooth at the Government Center exit and impose a $10 toll on Friday and Saturday nights from 8 PM to midnight. If these suburban (expletives) are going to be (expletives), let's at least take their money.

I agree, this guy is out of line! Sounds to me like you think you're an angel and have never once got in trouble. Cops are hostile and I have seen my share of police brutality with 0 consequence.

Maintaining our equanimity while dealing with morons is part of our responsibility as Hub of the Universe.

@UHub: "younger bro [charged] with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, police say."
Disorderly and resisting are so pedestrian. I always liked MGLC. 268, Section 17.
