So, Eric from Ri here, been a member for awhile, mostly lurking in the background.
In Providence RI Sunday, there was an incident concerning maybe a hundred or more motorcycles, atv's, mopeds, etc riding on city streets busting balls. Police were around monitoring things. Evidently a rider with no plate on his moped, flipped a cop off, so the cop started to pursue him. The rider took a hard right on a side street, probably to avoid another police vehicle turning and the police car behind him did the same. From the very publicly shown cell phone video, it is evident that they both went wide and maybe even where on the sidewalk. It's is possible the cop car hit the moped from behind or it's possible the cop hit a stop sign which struck the rider. The rider is in critical condition. Tonight, there where demonstrations , fire works and things being thrown at the police. Black Lives Matter was very prominent tonight, because the rider is named Jhamal Gonsalves, 24.
I hope he will be alright, as from everything said about him, he was a responsible rider and a good guy, but, he was busting balls.
The first thing the demonstrators say is police brutality and they want charges against the police officer driving and defunding, ETC.
If you live in RI, you have heard how Providence is run and things are bad due to the mayor not being strong.
My own opinion is, if I am driving and get surrounded by bikers, atv's, what ever who are busting balls, I will not take it lightly.
There have been previous demonstrations and a lot of damage done in Providence in the last few months and nothing has been done to correct it.
What I'm saying is, times are getting bad and demonstrate if you like, but if you start to loot and generally try to destroy property, then you are no friend of mine.
Just sayin....
