  • Introduction to Video Content
  • Protesters have gathered on Boston Common in response to the release of footage showing the arrest of Tyre Nichols in Memphis. A live view from the sky shows a substantial crowd of demonstrators on the corner of Park and Tremont. They are holding signs and reacting to the recently released video, which has caused widespread outrage. Christina Rex is reporting live from the scene. She mentions that the speaker program at the protest began before the video was released, and attendees have been watching the video on their phones, growing increasingly angry and upset. As the speakers continue, some protesters are preparing to march. This change in mood follows Mayor Wu's speech at the MLK embrace statue on the common, where she expressed the city's commitment to the safety of black and brown men. A sentiment echoed by the entire city government and police department. The video feed also captures the Boston Police Department blocking Winter Street in the downtown crossing area.
  • Subtitles section
  • You live look over the common tonight.
  • This is the view from sky eye.
  • You can see here on the corner of Park and Tremont.
  • I believe a pretty substantial crowd demonstrators, mainly holding signs and of course reacting to what they've seen tonight, not only in the nickels case, but also in this video that was just released.
  • Christina Rex is there live and she joins us now.
  • Christina, Lisa and David.
  • That's the interesting dynamic here tonight.
  • This speaker program at this protest behind me started before the video was released.
  • And you can just take a look at the crowd here.
  • They're starting to chant.
  • They were actually many of them live, watching the video on their phones while this speaker program was going on and just getting angrier and angrier and more upset as that was going on.
  • I just want to take you around.
  • Speakers are still going on over here.
  • But then if we just swing around a little, the people who are holding a sign are now getting ready to start marching.
  • They told us that they were going to take to the streets.
  • Now this is definitely a different mood after what just happened about two hours ago when Mayor Wu gave a speech right in front of the MLK embrace statue on the common.
  • Here's what she had to say to the black and brown men of Boston.
  • You deserve to feel and to be safe in your cars and in your homes, in our streets, in our stores, the places where you work, and live and celebrate.
  • Please know that we see you and we love you.
  • And Boston will not rest until we live up to that promise.
  • That is a sentiment shared across all of city government and by our police department.
  • And speaking of the Boston Police Department, that's what you see right here.
  • So this is Winter Street heading into the downtown crossing area.
  • It's completely blocked off.
  • Boston police tell me they've shut off the street.
  • They're not allowing anybody inside.
  • We couldn't get inside the street either.
  • And as I mentioned, these protesters mentioned that they planned to march, but they won't be able to get down the street here.
  • So hopefully everything stays peaceful tonight.
  • Of course, we'll bring you all the updates as they happen live on air and online all night for now.
  • Live in Boston, Christina Rex WBZ News.
  • All right, Christina, we'll be checking back in with you.
  • We thank
