PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) ─ The revving of ATVs and dirt bikes could be heard throughout the South Side of Providence Tuesday evening as hundreds of people gathered to demand justice for the victim in an officer-involved moped crash from over the weekend. ... Cell phone video from a witness shows Gonsalves take an abrupt right turn before losing control of his moped and slamming into a building.
It’s still unclear at this time whether Endres actually hit Gonsalves before he crashed. ... The rally was organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which is calling for an independent investigation into the incident. ... A majority of the crowd dispersed after an hour or so. The situation escalated when a smaller group that stayed behind began lighting off fireworks in close proximity to the officers who were holding the line. ... During a Providence police briefing on Wednesday, Providence Police Col. Hugh Clements announced 21 arrests were made, including one juvenile.

Well at least they made arrests.
Seems a large crowd of moped and dirt bikers were swarming city streets. I doubt it was innocent fun. We have a couple of squads of dirt bikers here and they are not law abiding. They like to run around like mad max and they don’t obey traffic laws and they mess with cars on the freeway, terrorize pedestrians etc. they have caused traffic accidents deliberately and assaulted people. Every person driving doesn’t have to do it. Maybe the young man who drove into a building wasn’t doing that. But if he was participating in a big motorcycle type gang takeover he was doing wrong. No one made him run into a building.
IF that was going on here then as per usual I support the police.
Also as usual his family has asked for no violence and is being dismissed by rioters, par for the course.
I have read that this is a problem in third world countries that is generally solved by the neighborhood stringing up piano wire.
>>The rally was organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation,<<
And there you have it, just another reason for the nasty little Commies to act like fools.
The link below of the released video - it appears that the guy was driving like a fool and lost control - the police vehicle in question was behind him and veered and stopped AFTER the guy swerved into the building. It doesn’t appear the police car was in contact with him at all.
What it DOES tell us, via the original article posted above, is that this is just a bunch of socialists again inventing excuses to hate the police and disrupt society.
