It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but a Rhode Island wedding ended up in a chaotic brawl between the wedding party and the police. The incident was caught on video, which showed a tense conversation quickly turning into a physical altercation between the mostly white wedding party and the law enforcement agents.
One woman was seen kicking a cop in the groin while another tried to grab an officer's handgun. According to the police report obtained by TMZ, the officer punched the woman in response, causing her to fall. The entire ordeal was apparently caused by a man from the wedding group being denied entry into a bar. When he allegedly assaulted the staff, the police were called and the situation escalated. The man's wife, who was reportedly drunk at the time, tried to intervene, which only resulted in more violence.
In the aftermath of the incident, six people were arrested, though thankfully no one was killed. This is a stark contrast to many other police interactions with Black people, which often ends in tragedy, or even the recent incident in Alabama where a white crowd attacked a Black security guard for simply enforcing the rules.
The Rhode Island brawl highlights the disparity between how different groups of people are treated when interacting with the police. Payton Gendron, a white 18-year-old mass murderer who killed 10 people in a racist attack in Buffalo, New York, was arrested without any harm coming to him. This is a stark contrast to how Black people are often treated in similar situations.
