A Boston judge has been accused of “overstepping his role” after he denied multiple requests to dismiss charges against some counter-protesters of the Boston Straight Pride event on Aug. 31.

In total, 36 people—including a juvenile—were arrested at the demonstrations, which left four police officers injured.
