Protests Against Police Violence Close Boston Highway

01/16/2015

Massachusetts State Police on Thursday arrested 29 people who stopped traffic on two sections of a major highway into Boston during the morning rush hour to protest the recent killings by U.S. police of unarmed black men. Officials said that protesters stopped traffic north and south of Boston during the morning rush hour. The protesters in Milton, to the south of the city, chained themselves to concrete barrels on the roadway. Massachusetts State Police said the protesters prevented an ambulance carrying a crash victim with life-threatening injuries from reaching a trauma center in Boston, and forced it to divert to a smaller hospital outside the city.
