Impassioned crowds take to the streets in Boston

The Boston Globe reports:
Hundreds of protesters flooded the city’s streets Tuesday night, marching from Roxbury to Back Bay and beyond, raising their voices and their hands in grief and frustration over a grand jury’s decision to not charge a Missouri police officer in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager.

An estimated 1,400 protesters marched from Dudley Square to the South Bay House of Correction, then onto the Massachusetts Avenue Connector near Interstate 93 before being blocked by a police line. City and police spokesmen described the protest as largely peaceful, though protesters — an undetermined number of whom were arrested — at times pushed in unison against the police line.
The great moments of Blue America.
