Dowell was also arrested in 2023 for allegedly assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, and vandalizing a public monument with anti-police messages.
Many of those involved in the counter-protest were dressed as clowns as a way to draw attention away from the Men’s March while also making fun of its message. The Clown March Boston website also describes its mission as “a joyful display of resistance.”
But why? Vandalizing stuff, let alone with such superficial messages, is useless. It literally does not help anyone. Resisting arrest is also not something you should do unless you REALLY have a chance of getting away or strategically when it means they can not arrest other people because they need to focus on you.
