Jamaica Plain.
I assume he means Jamaica Plain, since the tweets talk about an arrest by Boston PD. But I can't find any details of the story.
That's all I could find as well.

There is a video in which you can see nothing.
No actual story that I’ve found but here are some cliff notes from what I’ve seen on Twitter
-Individual was walking down the street, plain clothes cops see him fiddling with his wasteband and assume he is armed. They jump out of the car and detain him with force
-Allegedly he was in fact armed
-BPD declines to take statements/ID when offered by witnesses who were there start to finish
-BPD basically says publicly “we apprehended the suspect because he looked like he might be armed”
-Judge isn’t present at bail sentencing and a clerk/magistrate sets bail at $10,000 which people feel is unjust due to him “not being a flight risk” and also that magistrate never asked about his ability to pay bail so it’s a violation of some statute

Northeastern Teaching Assistant Hymen Says Films Boston Cops Arresting Violent Felon With Unregistered Gun, Interferes, Blames Police Brutality In Viral Tweet

Looking at the video in that, it seems to me that the suspect is struggling against the police trying to arrest him. That never ends well.

If he was licensed he probably also wouldn’t have been on the ground fighting them

.please.
I'm guessing the crux of the issue is that "looks like he was carrying" ought not be reasonable suspicion to stop and search someone in a state where concealed carry is legal. The fact that the man may very well have been engaged in a crime is immaterial, because the police had no reason to know that and the stop was improper.

South Dorchester?? Where the f is that. Never heard anyone in my lifetime call it that. Red flag to me.

Glad I got out of the area. It reminds me of the Agnostic Front song “Old New York.”

Is this incident a legal LTC holder who was arrested by the Boston PD for the simple act of carrying? Or is this just another criminal act conducted by the po-pos?
