It seems like the msm has little interest in activism or protest of immigration crack downs like these, but this story should be prominently featured, instead of the meaningless drivel that makes it onto the ri local news every night. And honestly, you gotta hand it to the protesters, it's not easy standing up to the police like that. I mean, it's truly putting oneself in harms way. This is a really shocking story.
