Negro Gunman, Freed After Shooting at Boston Cops, Goes on Memorial Drive Rifle Rampage and Nearly Murders Two Innocent Drivers
Despite firing 13 rounds at police in 2020 and receiving a slap-on-the-wrist sentence from a soft-on-crime system, Brown was roaming free on parole.
On Monday afternoon, May 11th, 2026, 46-year-old Tyler Brown of Boston walked down the middle of busy Memorial Drive near the Charles River and Harvard University, methodically spraying an estimated 50–60 rounds from an assault rifle into traffic. Two innocent drivers were critically wounded in what authorities described as a random outburst. Brown was eventually stopped only after a Massachusetts State Police trooper and an armed civilian returned fire.1
Brown, who has a lengthy criminal history involving firearms and violence toward police, was taken into custody after being shot in the extremities. He is receiving treatment in a Boston hospital. The two victims—one associated with an MBTA paratransit van—remain in critical condition. No officers were injured.2
Court records show Brown is no stranger to the system. In 2020, he fired 13 rounds at Boston Police officers in the South End during an encounter. Despite prosecutors seeking a stiff sentence, he received a reduced term after pleading guilty. Then-District Attorney Rachael Rollins publicly expressed disappointment at the light sentence.
One officer’s victim impact statement warned prophetically:
“When Mr. Tyler Brown gets out, he will hurt, or worse, kill someone.”
Probation, it seems, meant little.3
Earlier on the day of the Cambridge shooting, Brown’s parole officer had contacted authorities over suicidal statements, triggering a welfare check at his Dorchester address. He wasn’t there. Hours later, he was in Cambridge with a rifle he wasn’t supposed to have.4
Cambridge and State Police responded quickly. The trooper and a civilian (reportedly a former Marine) engaged Brown, ending the threat within minutes. Memorial Drive was shut down, creating chaos as drivers fled on foot. Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan held a press conference, emphasizing the trauma while calling for more gun legislation—standard fare after such incidents.5
Brown faces charges including armed assault with intent to murder. His arraignment is delayed due to his injuries.
My Decree
Notice how a felon with a documented history of shooting at police managed to obtain and deploy a semiautomatic rifle in broad daylight on one of the area’s busiest roads. If gun restrictions actually work, how did Brown obtain such a weapon? It turns out gun laws only affect law abiding citizens. Combine the existing firearm prohibitions for citizens and repeated leniency in sentencing, and you have a powder keg.
Repeat violent offenders, (almost exclusively Negro these days) prior interactions with law enforcement that didn’t result in permanent incapacitation, and the reality that armed civilians and responsive police sometimes serve as the last line of defense. So who are the gun laws actually for?
If I were king, people like Brown would never offend ever again. It’s time for a leader in our nation that holds these people accountable so they can’t harm innocent people. There needs to be a total overhaul of the systems that we have in this nation. There must be real accountability for those that would think to take harmful action against innocent lives. You won’t hear this from a republican or a democrat, but what we really need is a strong man that is willing to make the hard decisions and remove the invaders from our country and those who are unwelcome. America was founded as a White Christian nation and I intend to keep it that way.
My neighbor down the street is 75, had a few dui's 30 some years ago and cant even get a permit for a pistol. Ridiculous.
