(Northampton, MA) Last night’s peaceful protest turned dangerous as a small group of individuals threw rocks at officers and chased them. The Northampton Police Department released a statement
“We have always assisted with demonstrations by providing a safe space to get your message across and this one was no different. The demonstration began with two of our cruisers escorting the march into downtown,” said the department in a social media post.
The department is asking that future demonstrations remain peaceful and that their service to the community is honored.
”We want you to know that each and every day we come to work to serve you,” said the department.
