This "protest" feels even more pointless than the usual ones, which is interesting considering how pointless most of these protests are. Like, what are you even protesting? a gang of thugs were erroneously given police badges, they did gang things to a person, and got fired days later when their actions became known. they've been charged, and will likely be given maximum penalties. This wasn't some racist attack, or some kind of discriminatory thing, it was just a bunch of gangers doing ganger things, just with police uniforms.

I support your right to protest, I just wish you would use it for things that actually need protesting, like the gentrification of the town pushing hardworking worcester veterans out and replacing them with yuppies with no love for the area.

I came in originally to say affordable housing, because gentrification is by far the #1 issue facing the city, but the people saying transportation infrastructure have a great point. It's counterproductive to try to fit even more people into the city that really can't support the population it has now, and providing more efficient transportation methods to use would help to alleviate that issue.
