As many as 19 people were arrested following violent clashes with police in Providence, Rhode Island. The crowd is angry after a 24-year-old was involved in a moped crash with a police officer. The driver is in a coma.
Video shows a police cruiser slamming into the moped, but police urged citizens not to rush to judgment. Clearly, that request was ignored.
