At a counter-protest of a Trump rally in Swampscott, MA on Saturday, 12/12, prominent Boston activist and founder of the Freedom Fighters Coalition of 2020 Ernst Jean-Jacques (Shimmy) was wrongfully arrested for an assault that didnât happen.
As Shimmy danced to music playing through a speaker, an elderly woman (Linda Greenberg shown in the first video) approached him from behind and poured a bottle of water on his face. Shimmyâs natural reaction to take the water bottle out of her hand was called a âpunch to the faceâ. Not only was this entire interaction caught on video, the aggressor was also filmed admitting to a police officer that she instigated the altercation unprovoked because his dancing was âmaking her madâ.
The aggressor, LINDA, is not facing repercussions, despite the video evidence and admission of guilt to the Swampscott officer.
This is a civil rights violation, a constitutional violation, and an obviously racially charged accusation.
Since December 12th, Shimmy has lost his job, health insurance, and has been subject to online harassment.
This is not right....where is the justice?
Per legal representationâs request, please make this case go as public as possible to demonstrate our outrage.
