BOSTON — Three weeks into protests nationwide and locally over the death of George Floyd, a protest starting in Government Square instead focused on officer-involved shootings here at home.

The group Mass Action Against Police Brutality organized a rally outside Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins’ office, calling on Rollins to reopen investigations into the death of Burrell Ramsey-White, Usaamah Rahim, and Terrence Coleman.

Ramsey-White was pulled over by officers in plain clothes and an unmarked cruiser in 2012 when he sped away, leading police on a chase, eventually getting out of the car and pulling a gun on officers, according to investigators. An officer shot him in the torso, killing him.
