Protests Against Police Brutality Held On MLK Day In Boston

The first, held by Mass Action against Police Brutality took place outside the Grove Hall branch of the Boston Public Library in Dorchester. Organizers said their top priorities are to call for the prosecution of police officers who committed acts of violence and for the reopening of police brutality cases.
