State police made 23 arrests yesterday and hundreds of demonstrators snarled traffic through downtown Boston as they marched in protest of the killing of unarmed black men by police in Ferguson, Mo., and Staten Island, N.Y.

“Several demonstrators who failed to comply with the law despite orders to do so have been taken into custody in the area of Nashua Street, near the ramps to Route 93,” state police said in a statement yesterday afternoon.

Seems like this is starting to PO a lot of folks. I saw some pics of the “Black Lives Matter” banners but must have missed the back side of them that said “White folks lives DON’T matter”. Kinda like the university/college president that had to apologize for tweeting “All Lives Matter”. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? So you apologize for saying that? She ought to be terminated. With a huge severance pkg of course.

Shop owners and motorists bare the brunt of the protestors ire. Like they had anything to do with Ferguson and NY? The level of mass idiocy is astounding but not surprising. These same ash holes gave us Barry twice.

The Ferguson rioters and looters were getting tired and the riots were dying down until some rocket scientist decided to jack up the craziness with the release of the Eric Garner decision.

The timing was just too convenient to be accidental.

One of these times someone trying to get to a hospital is not going to make it because of one of these road blocking protest.

The sentence for doing this must be made much more harsh.

““The restraint and professionalism exhibited by all my officers during today’s peaceful march and demonstration were exceptional,” Boston police Commissioner William B. Evans said in a statement. “After several sit-ins and blocked roadways, no arrests were made by the Boston Police Department and no injuries were reported.”

Police Commissioner is proud ... that they arrested no one ...

The reporter did not think to interview one person that was delayed by the protesters, just acted as a mouth piece to give multiple quotes by the protesters.

“Black Protests” are now being organized and run by WHITE Occutards and Socialists.

But the Mainstream Media is too involved in pimping the Media Matters-approved memes, than risk their cushy jobs by reporting inconvenient truth.

“They get in my way, I’ll hit the gas and mow their worthless butts down!”

Just be sure to have a Go-Pro mounted on the dash, to justify the threat against you.

I’m betting if you dug into the background of any of these protesters you’d find trust fund babies with attention-seeking issues, divorce, Daddy and Mommy don’t understand me (i.e. PAY ATTENTION to ME. It’s all about ME dammit!)

The Christmas holidays are huge for a lot of urban areas. People aren't going to bring their families "downtown" to encounter a bunch of jerks protesting who-knows-what and the police letting them swarm over major points of interest and highways.

Brilliant maneuvers....scaring people away who bring money and employment into to urban areas. Money that could be used to improve community policing.
