The Boston Police tweeted that they have been struck with rocks, urine and bottles during the small “free speech” rally that thousands of counter-protesters challenged.
#BPD is asking individuals to refrain from throwing urine, bottles and other harmful projectiles at our officers.

This backs up Trump calling them “anti-police” protesters earlier. He followed up with a more politically correct tweet condemning all hate.
Our great country has been divided for decades. Sometimes you need protest in order to heal, & we will heal, & be stronger than ever before!

I want to applaud the many protestors in Boston who are speaking out against bigotry and hate. Our country will soon come together as one!

Kellyanne Conway must have distracted him while General Kelly squeezed some sedatives into his taco bowl in order to get his iPhone away from him. Truly they are heroes of the Republic….
Check out more video from the protest earlier here. And also the wretched scumbag who was caught on video assaulting an older woman with an American flag.
