House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark’s daughter was arrested and charged with assault after an encounter with police during a protest in Boston on Saturday, according to a press release from the Boston Police Department.

Riley Dowell, 23, was found by police tagging the Parkman Bandstand monument “NO COP CITY” and “ACAB”. “ACAB” is commonly known as an acronym for the anti-police slogan “All Cops Are Bastards.”

While police tried to arrest Dowell, protesters surrounded officers and one was hit in the face and bleeding, according to the press release. The release referred to Dowell by her birth name.

Clark confirmed the release in a tweet Sunday.

“Last night, my daughter was arrested in Boston, Massachusetts. I love Riley, and this is a very difficult time in the cycle of joy and pain in parenting,” Clark wrote. “This will be evaluated by the legal system, and I am confident in that process.”

 

Just wondered if the Police dead naming him will be a basis to get the charges dismissed? Is that what she is referring to?

So this person was non-binary?  What was the name on the ID they were were carrying?

Sounds like she had his name on her ID.
