Massive Dorchester street party ends peacefully
By adamg - 7/7/12 - 10:14 pm
ProjectV, which brought several hundred people to Wendover Street for a daylong party, ended about 90 minutes early when pretty much every officer in District B-2, accompanied by reinforcements from across the city, arrived. Stanley Staco, monitoring the police activity on radio, reported the party broke up without incident.
Among the attendees: State Rep. Carlos Henriquez, who tweeted:
I stopped by ProjectV to support my friends and community. It is a peaceful loving event. Thanks for the love.

Why did the police break up a peaceful party?
The police were there to make
The police were there to make sure no jackasses showed up to crash it.
How do you crash
a block party open to the public?
My question is why do the police need to break up a non-violent, non-disruptive gathering of citizens? Why is the immediate reaction to call in backup and suit up as stormtroopers and disperse a gathering?
Most of us just call them block parties
There are non-violent, non-disruptive gathering of citizens all across the city. Most of us call them block parties. My block has one every September. We have to get a permit.W e get 8 hours. After that it's finito. Back to reality.

If White Kids
From Charlestown, Southie, Dot, Rozy or Westy ever tried to hold a block party with booze involved the cops who break it up in a sec. The same discrimination against white youths takes place every year at our city’s largest parade. You can’t consume booze in public on St Patrick’s day but the Dominican, Rican, Caribbean and Haitian festival and other minority cultural events in the city its completely fine.
