UPDATE: At the request of Representative José Batista, the Rhode Island Attorney General intervened on Saturday, and Regina was able to visit her son and speak to his doctors on Sunday.

This is beyond cruel! It is sad that we are facing this kind of behavior locally as well as nationally.

Orange “gun” sounds a lot like a NERF gun… if that is the case, Offc. Doolittle Shootmoore has some explaining to do to the grand jury!

He had an arraignment today 06-16 according to court connect and bail was set for $1000. He does not appear to have an attorney listed. Does anyone know if he has an attorney or if bail is posted, would he bail able to see his mother? Perhaps a go fund me could be arranged for him and raise attorney fees for this BS case?

I'm thinking they're hiding him because they're going to get sued! They care about THAT!

Republican cops Republickkkan governor! Don't see people when they look....they see disgusting parasites! Republickkkans don't see humans because we aren't billionaires! Gotta be something in a situation that benefits them!

Like the never ending homelessness, don't care. Unless there's grants they can manipulate!

Food shortages, don't care!

Health care, don't care.

Crimes, don't care unless there's a wealthy person involved!

Criminalizing minorities and destroying families, think that's funny!

I'm sorry Ms. Regina! Maybe the ACLU?

because we see the same pain everyday!

Because they want hate and fear, not respect and love, unless you can sell it!

I hope your son beats the cops and recovers quickly!
