After weeks of trying to evade police lines at highway ramps downtown and in the Back Bay in nighttime attempts to shut down a road, Black Lives Matter protesters managed to shut down I-93 this morning in East Milton Square and at Mystic Valley Parkway in Medford.
In East Milton Square, protesters parked a box truck on the side of the highway around 7:30 a.m., then jumped out with a banner and barrels filled with concrete with arm-sized holes for chained themselves into.
Col. Tim Alben of State Police tweeted:
Arrests will be ongoing at any and all locations where individuals have obstructed traffic.
At 9 a.m., State Police reported 17 arrests in Medford and 6 in East Milton Square.

Legitimately curious too, if an ambulance was trying to get by and the protesters wouldn't let it, (or it couldn't get by because of the protest,) would they be held liable for whatever further complications arise?

A similar thing happened in southie, where people double parked illegally and the ambulance couldn't get to the patient (little girl) in time, so she died. No one was held liable and one trip to southie will show you nothing has changed. But Im sure people on Uhub will say illegal car storage is more important than civil disobedience.

You'd have a better shot without some moronic hipsters blocking the highways for their own personal agenda and to make themselves feel better for striking out for the one or two black people they actually know.
People do tend to get out of the way for an ambulance in traffic.

They decided the guy needed a Level 1 trauma center...so they packed him up in an ambulance at 8 AM and expected to drive the 40 minutes north to Boston Medical Center unimpeded on the SE Expressway at rush hour??
If he had 40 minutes, then they could have driven him to Rhode Island Hospital which is the same distance from Easton and also a Level 1 trauma center.
In another article, the fire chief is quoted as saying they would have made it there in 10 minutes even in rush hour traffic because "people are good at getting out of our way"...Except it's 25 miles from the accident scene to BMC, so to make it in 10 minutes they would have had to have AVERAGED 150 MPH! ( http://patch.com/massachusetts/easton-ma/i-93-prot... )
Instead, they settled for the closest ER and got him seen in 9 minutes, just not by a trauma center.
And his excuse for not using South Shore Hospital in Weymouth was that "24 was backed up into Brockton making side roads backed up"...Except the hospital he took him to is *right at 24 in Brockton*! If he made it there, the rest of hte way would have been wide open getting to South Shore Hospital, the hard part was already over!
This sounds like a fire chief who wanted to help push another "ambulance trapped by protests" story.

It stops "Business as usual" AKA it makes people at least talk about the protest and see that these people feel strongly about a subject. It also lets some of the minorities stuck see that some people are thinking about them. (Perhaps also thinking "Shit, I'm going to be late. This sucks.")
I'm not suggesting this is helping their cause but there is some logic to it regardless of if you agree or disagree.
While I'm not going to block traffic myself I can see their point. It's easy for the media and the public to pigeonhole this movement and if you read the comments at even normally tame UHub you can see a lot of racism. Police violence towards minorities (and others) is a real problem. Writing stern letters to the editor isn't going to solve this problem. If the cause was something else (Guns, Taxes, abortion, etc) you'd see a lot more support for stupid stunts like these -- at least from people outside of MA. When it's young people protesting police issues suddenly everyone writes it off as dumb misguided and board college kids.

The protests here were "cute" the first one or two.. after that, they are just a bunch of morons. Now stopping traffic? yeah what little support I had is now gone.
Sorry folks. Leaders have come right out and said "We want to hear your complaints and work with you" and these protesters just thumbed their nose at these leaders and just keep on protesting. They don't want to work to solve problems, they just want to protest.

By gotdatwmd
Thu, 01/15/2015 - 10:55am
Their manifesto specifically states they are targeting white commuters who live outside the city but work in it, to make aware the troubles of minorities.
This is completely delusional and short sighted for a number of reasons. Firstly it assumes that people move outside of the city but continue to work there because they are racist, not because many people can't afford to live there or have families they need to raise outside or any number of reasons. Secondly, how many of these protestors actually live and work in the city, how long have they been there, what gives them any authority to represent all of Boston? Do they pay their way to live here, or do their student loans do? Do they believe only white people drive on 93 or live outside?

I'm sure all the minorities stuck in traffic on their way to work are ecstatic about all the white people standing up for them, because of course, they lack personal drive and ambition and need college students to speak for them for a cause that surely they must be behind because their skin colour says so.
Except, of course, if any of those minorities happen to make over minimum wage, because then they are 1% scum and need to be arrested for their crimes against the lower class.

and I actually agree with everything you stated above. Mayor Walsh has publicly stated multiple times he wants to sit down with the group and discuss the issues, to which their reply has been “We’ve always made our contact information public. All of our community organizers’ contact information is public. So I think the mayor has every available outlet to contact us”
I believe that Rev. Eugene F. Rivers III put it very nicely; “If these activists refuse to take Mayor Walsh up on his offer, they’re not serious. It’s that simple. This was just kids having fun masquerading as a political protest if they don’t.”
is this a protest directed at Mayor Walsh?

Mayor Walsh is a high ranking public official with the authority to implement change in the city of Boston, so regardless of who this particular protest was directed at their stubbornness around the semantics of who should be calling who has discredited their whole argument, in my humble opinion (and in the opinion of leaders in the minority community as well, apparently).

What policies do they want changed? They're against racism (Which most rational people are against), they're against police brutality (which again, most people are against and we haven't seen recently in Boston). What policy changes are they really hoping for? THAT's the reason they haven't met with Walsh, they don't have a real platform.

BostonDog, thanks for articulating the thinking of the protesters.
I have had a few conversations with folks who believe that "direct action" is the way to advance civil rights in the U.S. IMO, I think that the protesters are mistaken to think that the general population is not upset about police excesses. The fact is that police abuse of power has been a long-standing issue, going back many decades.
Police departments don't operate in a vacuum and well led departments, Boston included, have made numerous changes over the years indeed recognizing that there were problems
Ultimately it's public opinion that drives change in police agencies. This public opinion lives in the community and is subject to all human foibles - anger, racism and hate. It is only through public engagement that change occurs. Stopping someone trying to go to work, someone driving a sick relative to a Boston hospital appointment to show that you're angry is a ineffective method of engaging the public. Greatly worsening someone's morning commute simply makes them angry, it does nothing to open their minds to listening to other opinions

You captured how I feel on this. On some strategic-thinking level I had to sigh heavily when I heard about this on the radio this morning as I knew that when I got to the office there would be UHub and FaceBook commentary about running over these people, and folks didn't disappoint. I can only imagine the boards at boston.com or over at the Herald.
You just know that something like this is going to result in a huge loss of sympathy from a lot of uncommitted people, but then again, from their perspective, who gives a shit. Like you said, stern letters to the editor are not going to change anything. This makes them hard to ignore. The question now is whether things are so polarized that actually looking at policy and changing things becomes impossible. I have no clue what their next steps are, but hopefully this evolves out of this stage soon. But hey, at least they're not dumping tea in the harbor or something.

Kudos to the folks who followed through on their demonstrations in support of police, not so much for the message but for the uppityness and energy to actually follow through and do something, as opposed to the majority of people.

What of the people who think that people, regardless of the color of their skin, have nothing to fear from the police as long as they-
Don't assault the police
Don't resist arrest to the point that force is used
Don't run around with guns, be they real or fake, and if you do have a real gun, don't try to shoot the police
Yes, there needs to be a discussion about race and the legal system in this country, but it should be a two sided discussion, since currently there seem to be two views on the issue that aren't even in the same book, let alone on the same page.
Uh huh
By Kaz
Thu, 01/15/2015 - 10:06am
Walk a mile in their shoes.
Plenty of black people don't assault police, don't resist arrest (and probably never had the chance to because they've never been even close to being arrested like the rest of us), and never even owned a gun.
Yet, if the cops "think they're acting suspicious" or they're in the "wrong part of town" (you know, the 4 zip codes where like 80% of the black people in town live), then they get stopped out of nowhere and questioned, poked, "patted down for (the cop's) protection", etc. This has nothing to do with the "rules for not fearing police" that you enumerated. This has to do with a false presumption of guilt before innocence. Then, if that's ramped up in *any* way due to the situation like they're tired of being stopped and patted down for no reason, they've got a toy gun in their hands, or they aren't happy about the handcuffs when they've done nothing wrong...then suddenly, their life is on the line? Bullshit. It wouldn't happen in Back Bay if that obnoxious wine thrower had tried to avoid being cuffed at the time, she wouldn't have expected her life to suddenly be forfeit.
Now, are our cops better than some place like South Carolina where that cop shot the guy just trying to retrieve his wallet during a traffic stop at a gas station? Sure, no doubt, and I'm glad for it. But don't act as if this shit doesn't happen here. The ink has barely even cooled on this report from October:

The indignities you cite, and they do happen all the time, need to be addressed. But when you have two sides basically screaming at each other, nothing will be forwarded. The police, first and foremost, need to realize that black people are not the enemy. As another important step, the minority community need to realize that the police are trying to do their jobs. Yes, policemen show up and abruptly shoot 12 year olds holding toy guns, which is horrific to all, but how to address the underlying issue? I don't see how blocking I-93 is going to help.
Of all the deaths one can cite over the decade, I would think the one notorious incident that encapsulates the problem minorities, and particular black men, deal with (and problems that the police encounter dealing with black men) is the Skip Gates arrest. Did the cop react badly because he was dealing with a black man, or did Gates react because he was a black man and thus more sensitive to slights (real or perceived) by white policemen?
don't false equivalence at me.

This action has done more to damage opinions of the protesters than helped. I have been politically aware for nearly 40 years and have lived in the city and the suburbs. I have seen people, black, Asian, and white, move away from the threat of violence, mostly, but not all, black on black violence.
All the while I have seen people who preach block Whole Foods, free so and so cop killer, and Reverse the Dominant Paradigm, . In the end nearly all they have done is drive up real estate prices, forcing people, mostly lower middle class and working class black, white, Asian, and everyone else out of the city into the very suburbs where they were blocked from getting to work today, like me.

contrary to what you may think. Suppose a loved one, neighbor, co-worker or good friend of yours loses his/her life while the ambulance transporting him/her to the hospital due to a heart attack, stroke or other life-or death matter, dies en route to the hospital because the ambulance couldn't get him/her there in time, or, if that same person was caught in a burning building loses his/her life because the fire truck wasn't able to get there in time?
These protestors who insist on blocking traffic and/or shutting down interstate highways with speed limits of 55 miles per hour or greater, imho, are no different or better than people with right-wing causes (i. e. anti-abortion people, or pro-gun people), or those people down in Southie whose insistence on double/triple parking all over the place resulted in a young girl's dying in a house fire because the fire truck(s) couldn't get to the scene of the fire in time.

the level of police violence against minorities here is nothing like it is NYC, St Louis, etc... at least in terms of actual, you know, murders. I feel like these people are protesting here about actions elsewhere mostly. I'm sure there are plenty of terrible racist cops in Boston just as there are terrible racists in Boston. I don't think the problem rises to the level justified by this protest.
What is true is that there are a lot of unsolved murders of young black guys, but I guess the goal here is to make sure that murder rate stays where it is and, if the protesters get their way, goes up as police withdraw from minority neighborhoods? Or what, are we bringing back the Black Panthers to deal with youth violence?

2) What's to be done about this?
I agree the police need to do better. However, I can't get past the impression that the protestors view the police as the number one threat against minority residents in the city. I'd argue indiscriminate youth on youth violence is a bigger issue but I don't live in those neighborhoods. Do you?

You guys are probably a ways off the mark if you think that these guys are all or even mostly college students.
These are largely people who have been shut out of that world by escallating costs and excessive loan gambits.
So, if you shut down college graduations, you would just be doing their work - and they might thank you for that, or just be amused at how they can conveniently manipulate you into doing their work for them by taking advantage of your zeal borne of knee-jerk assumptions.
As always, you know everything!
