What happens when you think you have to much power
This happened in Rhode Island Today (where I live) and it's a friend of a friend.
Today Alex Svoboda (member of the Providence IWW) was the victim of police brutality while participating in the IWW march against Jacky’s Galaxie restaurant in North Providence. After the march started in the right lane of Mineral Spring Ave, the police ordered the march to move to the side.
(Example of protesters marching on the side of the road as the police ordered. About 60 people attended the event which was very orderly and peaceful)
As the march was complying, several officers took the opportunity to make a vicious example of a peaceful protester by beating her, breaking her left leg, pepper spraying her, and then having the nerve to charge her with assaulting three officers, resisting arrest and obstructing *justice*. Jason “Pliscan” Friedmutter (another member of the Providence IWW) was also arrested for obstructing *justice*. Several other march participants were indiscriminately pepper-sprayed.
Look at her fucking leg...
Heres an article that goes more into detail as to why they were protesting, and how you can help her:
