Protesters have taken to the streets of Providence, R.I., this week after a police cruiser on Sunday afternoon allegedly hit a moped to stop its movement, critically injuring the rider. Video of the incident shows Jhamal Gonsalves,24, riding on a black moped, with a police cruiser following behind. Gonsalves and the cruiser both make a right turn out of the frame of the video. A loud crashing sound can then be heard, and the footage pivots, revealing Gonsalves lying next the moped next to the side of a house, the cruiser stopped behind. “Yo, they just f—ing crashed him,” the person recording the incident can be heard saying. Prior to the crash, Gonsalves was reportedly riding with a group of roughly 300 people on motorbikes and ATVs through the city.
