I can't believe what I'm seeing and reading. Rhode Island state police beating and handcuffing Native Americans and shoving them on the ground. The state I live in has regressed 200 years in one fell swoop.

Nobody wins here. On one side you have the Narragansetts who are frustrated after years of being ignored by the state, hence not exactly in the mind to comply with police demands. On the other you have the state cops who seem more than willing to turn any resistance into full on melee. So now people are battered and bruised, a mutually beneficial resolution to the issues has been pushed even further away and we have disgusting and embarrassing images like this. In the year 2003.
