A Rhode Island police officer accused of punching a woman at an abortion protest while he was off-duty has now been charged in connection with Friday's demonstration at the State House.
Providence police said earlier Saturday that Lugo had been suspended from his job with pay pending an investigation, and Lugo subsequently ended his campaign. In a call with The Associated Press on Saturday, Rourke said that as she was attempting to escort a counterprotester who had agreed to leave off the premises, another physical altercation broke out during which she was punched in the face multiple times. She confirmed she pressed charges against Lugo.
Lugo had also told the Providence Journal he was “not going to deny” the punching allegation, but added that “everything happened very fast.”
9NewsAdel I bet some of these lunatics go to such protests looking for a fight.

‘The country would be better off’: senior Tories urge Boris Johnson to quitEx-leader Michael Howard among Conservatives to call for resignation after byelection catastrophes Australia had had enough of not being Governed at all and having a bunch of misogynistic bullies telling us what's good for us as they slowly eroded our rights, entitlements and incomes, now it appears people of the United Kingdom are saying enough is enough as well. Don't quit Boris. I need to see you destroyed, along with your party, at a general election. Johnson should stay until the Tories are wiped out. Having stuck by him they should now be stuck with him.
