This is Thomas Woodworth (center), of Pawcatuck, Connecticut. Tonight he drove his truck, a 2012 Chevy Silverado, through a crowd of protesters outside an ICE detention center.pic.twitter.com/t6IGjoXYWC
.@steveahlquist reports that four protesters were struck by Woodworth, sending two to the hospital.https://upriseri.com/2019-08-15-wyatt-01/ …
Former state representative Aaron Regunberg reports that when the police arrived on the scene after Woodworth’s attack, they refused to take witness statements.https://twitter.com/aaronregunberg/status/1161857451202924544?s=21 …
The cops clearly aren’t interested in pursuing this as a criminal matter. No arrests were made, nor did they take any witness statements. Woodworth could have killed the nonviolent protesters, but the cops are protecting their own here. This is what fascism looks like.
This isn’t an isolated incident of violence. In 2005, Woodworth had an excessive force complaint filed against him by an inmate. The suit was dismissed for procedural reasons, but the factual allegations don’t appear to have been contested. https://ecf.ctd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2007cv0148-80 …
(Credit to @after_the_quake for pointing out the above document to me!)
If they’ll do this in public, what are they doing when there are no cameras?
He was driving way too fast with protesters there, but the way he slammed the brakes makes it look like he really couldn’t see the people sitting. I couldn’t find video of him actually hitting anyone. Are we sure they went to the hospital from the truck and not the OC Spray?
Just asking questions. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That sounds like a crime to me 
So this article seems to be saying that the cops were there, then they left just as the guards broke the law and attacked people, then they came back. That seems coordinated to me. Did they leave so they could say, “What attack, I didn’t see an attack?” Aren’t they accomplices?
This is a domestic terror attack.
