Disturbing Police Brutality Photos

The Brutal Cop PhotoI am not big fan of the Industrial Workers of the World, but it is hard to imagine how the police could justify doing this to a protester in front of a restaurant. Yes, her leg is facing the wrong way. Oops.

Providence RI, Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) march on Jackies Galaxy, a local restaurant chain supplied by HWH/Dragonland in NYC, a supplier notorious for slave labor conditions and a lack of basic labor rights. A few blocks before finishing the march, North Providence police brutally tackled two of the marchers after they moved to the sidewalk too slowly, both were arrested and one suffered a badly broken leg in the attack
