Taunton resident among 53 arrested following Boston protests

BOSTON -- A Taunton resident was among the people arrested following protests in Boston on Sunday.

A Sunday afternoon of mostly peaceful protests in Boston broke at nightfall when protesters clashed with officers, throwing rocks, breaking into several stores and lighting a police vehicle on fire.

Thousands of mostly mask-wearing demonstrators marched peacefully through Boston in several protests during the day, lending their voices to the nationwide anger over the death of George Floyd, a black man who died Monday after a white Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee on his neck as he pleaded for air.

The largest protest started Sunday night in the historically black neighborhood of Roxbury. Protesters made their way slowly for several miles to the Massachusetts State House. The diverse and peaceful crowd was flanked by police officers on bikes.

But as the march ended around 9 p.m., protesters clashed with police in downtown Boston. A police cruiser's rear window was smashed by a skateboarder. Police also tweeted that their officers were pelted with bricks, rocks, and glass bottles.

Protesters stole items from several stores including a Walgreens and a shoe store and damaged other several storefronts including a bank. A National Guard unit was called in to help quell the violence around 11 p.m.

Nine Boston police officers were transported to local hospitals, while dozens of additional officers were treated in the streets during these incidents, according to Boston Police. Their injuries are all considered non-life threatening.

On Monday afternoon, the Boston Police Department announced that 53 arrests were made and one summons was issued following the protests in Boston.

"Individuals protesting took to the streets of Boston," states a release from the Boston Police Department. "Following the course of the protest, and into the early morning of June 1, 2020, fifty-three arrests were made and one summons was issued."

Darryle Thompson, 29, of Taunton, was charged with Assault and Battery by means of a Dangerous Weapon, Assault and Battery on a Police Officer, Disorderly Conduct, and Resisting Arrest.
