Advocacy groups protest state police traffic stop of Guatemalans - Providence, Rhode Island

The groups took issue with the exoneration of Trooper Thomas Chabot, who was cleared this month by an internal state police investigation. A complaint filed by the Rhode Island Affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union prompted the investigation.”
