The non-binary child of Democrat House minority whip Katherine Clark was arrested in Boston for allegedly assaulting an officer and vandalizing a monument during an Antifa riot on Saturday night.
Boston police arrested the 23-year-old Dowell for graffitiing the words “No Cop City” and “ACAB,” which stands for “All Cops Are Bastards,” on a bandstand in Boston Common.
The initial report, as published by the official website of the Boston police department, identified the suspect as Jared Dowell, 23, of Melrose, leading initial reports to identify Dowell as male.
On Sunday, Clark put out a tweet about the incident that read, “Last night, my daughter was arrested in Boston, Massachusetts. I love Riley, and this is a very difficult time in the cycle of joy and pain in parenting. This will be evaluated by the legal system, and I am confident in that process.”

Clarity was finally brought to the situation when it was revealed that Dowell identifies as “non-binary” and goes by the name “Riley.”
Last year, Clark spoke to Congress about the “bigotry and discrimination” against the LGBTQ and trans community, including her own non-binary child.
A young student asked me: what's Congress doing to protect trans people like him? He was terrified by the bigotry against him and all #LGBTQIA people.
Fears I've heard from my own non-binary child.

Clark has regularly voiced her support for BLM and has made incendiary statements about police.
One of Clark’s tweets from 2021 reads, “More than 100 unarmed people have been murdered or brutalized by police since #GeorgeFloyd was murdered. There is no single policy that’ll erase the decades of systemic racism, but it’s time for meaningful reforms. It’s time for change. It’s time for #JusticeInPolicing. #BLM”

It seems as if her child has picked up the mantle of hate.
Boston police reported that while trying to arrest Dowell, a group of 20 protesters circled the officers “while screaming profanities though megaphones on the public street, causing traffic to come to a standstill.” An officer “was hit in the face and could be seen bleeding from the nose and mouth.”
On Monday morning, Dowell was held on $500 cash bail, which had already been posted, according to an NBC10 Boston report. Dowell was also ordered to stay away from the Boston Common.

The Boston riot took place on the same night as a riot in downtown Atlanta over the death of a 26-year-old Manuel Esteban Paez Teran, who was shot and killed by law enforcement officers returning fire after Esteban opened fire on a Georgia State Patrol trooper. Critics have named it the “Stop Cop City” movement.
Democrat Katherine Clark’s parenting concerns have been in the news since 2022 when during an interview with Chuck Todd of Meet the Press, she was asked what her top legislative priorities would be for the upcoming congressional session.
“Let me tell you what it means to me coming in as a different generation. I remember my middle child waking up with nightmares over concerns around climate change,” she said.
