(Providence, RI) -- There was fresh anger about alleged police misconduct expressed at a Providence City Council meeting Thursday night. Earlier this week, officers responded to a disturbance on Sayles Street in South Providence and were seen on video using batons and pepper-spray. The citizens involved claimed the officers were aggressive in their response, and the head of the Black Lives Matter Rhode Island Political Action Committee described it as a brutal beating of children. The mayor of Providence and the public safety commissioner are expected to speak about the investigation of the incident at a briefing at 9:30 this morning.
