There was a protest in downtown Boston tonight, and the police presence was really disproportionate and unhelpful. A thread for the consideration of @MayorWu, @bostonpolice and #Boston. I left work tonight at about 7:15pm. I work at the Old State House on Washington St. Downtown Crossing was bustling, but as I arrived at Winter St, I saw dozens of police putting up barricades at both ends, completely shutting down the pedestrian entrance from Boston Common.
