Here's a recap of the
law on disorderly conduct in Massachusetts from
conservative law blog The Volokh Conspiracy (pretty much everything I've found give the same analysis but I figured I'd link to a group most likely to bend towards the police).
Of note that it has been rejected by the state supreme court that simply being loud and verbally abusive is not sufficient on free speech grounds. And it has been ruled several times by the state supreme court that lacking threats of violence simply shouting at the police and calling them names is not disorderly conduct.
