Peacful protest turns ugly yesterday as police brutality sets in...

yesterday Alex Svoboda (member of High Plains Thunder and 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.

As the march was complying, several officers took the opportunity to make a vicious example of a peaceful protester by her 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 High Plains Thunder and the Providence IWW) was also arrested for obstructing *justice*. Several other march participants were indiscriminately pepper-sprayed.
