There is an older man driving a older black jeep Cherokee following my wife at her job near the cranston/johnston line. He stalks her almost everyday. He follows her to the gas station and pretends he's just getting gas. My wife works at a state run facility and the dude was in the parking lot pretending to clean his car today. When i seen something about a possible killer I was drawn into looking further about it. Legit or not people go missing everyday. I will be going there tomorrow. Be safe people

I second this! He reattached my husband’s hand on the fly and was incredibly kind, informative, and thorough with care. Even helped with temporary disability and insurance. He’s up on Waterman street past brown’s campus around Thayer in Providence.

Edit: typo

Moved here the summer of 1990, and never could get into any other channel than WPRI 12. Still going strong, morning and evening. That's just my two cents

You’d be guessing wrong boo I’m a tow truck driver. If you’re looking for detailed weather forecasts I’d obviously go with the weather network…. Where it’s more accurate and they break it down to where you’ll learn something too. I happen to prefer my barometer but to each their own. Politics local or not is the rich getting richer. They don’t care about you so you’re wasting your time. Traffic is what? 2 mins tops? Cool leave early you’ll be good. So what’s going on in the state? Fill me in because I don’t watch the news. Other than politics of course. Stop viewing the news for legitimately what it is? No thanks man. I’ll keep my peace in the morning while you’re getting worked up about traffic and the next political crisis before you’ve had your toast and jam. You like your news spoon fed like a lot of other people.. enjoy your meal.

I also wonder how much of that judge’s decision regarding Jeann Lugo comes into play. The judge said he was “trying to maintain public order” as a police officer regardless of whether he was there as a private citizen/political opponent.

I mean he’s a cop in Rhode Island, the last time I remember a cop being on trial for anything was the narcotics detective that got caught selling coke by the fbi, and that was years ago, and a federal case, police are the single biggest gang in the US they don’t put each other in jail

I'm guessing you get to work from home, and nothing outside your space has any affect on you. I, on the other hand, need...

  • Local weather from professional meteorologists who can accurately inform me about bad weather and icy patches on the road (admittedly the weather can change)

  • Information on local initiatives, such as proposed legislation at the State House that I might want to contact my elected officials about

  • Traffic issues, not just a red blotch on Google Maps

  • Details on what's going on otherwise in the state

Maybe if you started thinking about news as more than national ad-driven hyperventilation, you might learn something about the state you live in.

Yes this is a slightly unusual case because he wasn’t in uniform or in a marked patrol car .

The defense of not knowing or believing he was actually an officer is definitely a valid one here.

Where I live you don’t have to stop for unmarked patrol cars if they try to pull you over.
