108 pro-Palestinian protesters were detained by Boston police first nowadays in a battle over setting up tents in public spaces at the Emerson College encampment.
BPD reports four officers were injured, three “minor” and one with more serious injury. No demonstrators in prison have reported any injuries at this time, police told the Herald this day.
The typically college students are scheduled to appear in Boston Municipal Court now. Additionally, Emerson has called off sessions for the day.
Around 2 a.m., protesters were violently pushed out of the Boylston Place location in a police blow, which also featured protesters linking hands and chanting” We keep us safe” in a scrum that even featured protesters linking hands and chanting” We keep us safe” on social media video.
A guy with a bullhorn is seen in a photo on Instagram shortly before the prosecutions, teaching students how to “form ranks 4 lines heavy &, drilling on how to avoid police,” the post read.
The , Berkeley Beacon, Emerson’s university student news, posted in a , life blog , that the prosecutions began at 1: 45 a. m.
City Councilor Ed Flynn stated in a tweet next day that he “firmly believes in freedom of speech, but we cannot prevent people exposure.”
The arrests were recorded live on some social media sites as the police rushed in, as some had predicted, given that the school encampment is located in an alley leading to downtown’s Transportation Building.
Emerson’s new leader, Jay Bernhardt,  , wrote yesterday , that the school supports “our society’s right to express their opinions through opposition. Nevertheless, they must do so in a way that is in line with the rules of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the City of Boston. The school administration team co-signed that statement.
Flynn added in his post:” Breaches of city regulations had been addressed. The common right of methods may require that the tents be removed.
The Emerson detention come as school protests have spread across the nation sparking hatred against fellow Israeli students — with leading Israeli voices, including , Patriots owner Robert Kraft, calling out , anti- Israel “virulent hate” protests at his old school Columbia University.
Harvard, where the protests quickly began right after the merciless , Oct. 7 Hamas evil assault , on Israel, have flared up over with an encampment on Harvard Yard after it had been closed over.
The activists are blaming Israel’s occupation of Gaza and the civilian deaths, while Hamas terrorists are still holding victims.
