State Police arrested 29 Black Lives Matter protesters Thursday after they blocked all inbound lanes of Interstate 93 north and south of Boston during the city’s morning commute.
The protests, in Medford and Milton, created a firestorm of comments on social media, with strong opinions on both sides. The blockage south of the city caused an Easton ambulance transporting a car-crash victim with life-threatening injuries to be diverted from a Level 1 trauma center in Boston to Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton, police said.
