Seven people now face hate crime charges after police arrested three more suspects yesterday in a vicious attack on a Black teenager from Boston that one selectman in this South Shore town called despicable. Tizaya Robinson, 17, was chased and beaten on Careswell Street (Route 139) shortly after midnight Thursday, police said. As many as 12 men and women attacked Robinson with sticks, and kicked and punched him even after he was knocked unconscious, according to police.
- Echoes of Rodney King
A do-gooder who recorded abusive Boston police officers was himself arrested under a controversial ‘wiretapping’ law. This past October, when Simon Glik used his cell phone to record Boston police officers making what he thought was an overly forceful arrest on Tremont Street, he didn’t think he would be the one who ended up in the back of a police cruiser. But cops saw Glik using his cell phone’s camera with its sound-recording feature, so they arrested him for breaking the Massachusetts law that prohibits secret electronic recording, deemed “wiretapping."
