Police: 3 girls arrested after officer ‘violently assaulted’ inside Boston MBTA station

Three teenage girls are facing criminal charges after a Transit police officer was “violently assaulted” by a group of youths who were loitering inside a Boston MBTA station on Monday afternoon.

An officer on patrol at Forest Hills station just before 4 p.m. encountered about 40 to 50 youths who refused to move, causing a “public inconvenience and creating an unsafe environment,” according to the Transit Police Department.

When the officer instructed the youths to either utilize the transit services or vacate the station, things turned violent, police said.

In a statement, the department wrote, “The group violently set upon the officer kicking and punching him about his body. Once the officer was on the ground several in the group continued to kick him and drag the officer.”

Additional Transit officers, as well as Boston police and Massachusetts State Police, were called to the scene to restore order.

Three girls, ages 14, 15, and 16, were arrested on charges including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on an officer.

Additional arrests and charges are possible pending the outcome of an investigation.

imagine if the officer had fought back. He would be fired & possibly prosecuted for doing nothing more than defending himself.

Until parents start teaching respect and accountability to their children, these things will continue to happen.

Until people want to be honest and address reality, this will continue.

They need to be released. They were just exercising their right to hold a "peaceful protest". These are clearly well-raised kids who just had a rough childhood and need to be forgiven and treated with love and kindness...right...?

Not enough info to say anything about the incident, but some of those commenters seem to have their head in the clouds.

Which media?  And how do they disagree with your worldview?

MainStreamMedia

My worldview?

or just the opinion that Who, What, Where, When & Why should be included in news stories? As opposed to leaving out facts

My second grade teacher Mrs. Matteo said the same thing.

Why the comments?
They didn't add anything.

Doesn't it go back to Mark Twain's comment about a mob? 
The cop was severely outnumbered.
The kids knew this.
They probably get points with their group for attacking a cop. 

Old story.

People with no real power trying to claim it in an area.
Their turf.
Not unlike graffiti.  
Not their possession to paint on, but they paint their name, claiming their turf.
