If she went to college she'd have health insurance. Colleges do that.

You *can* get health insurance through a lot of colleges, especially state schools, but that doesn't mean that people do.
This seems like a pretty nasty overreaction to some protesters, but not knowing the Providence police I wouldn't put this past chalking it up as a couple officers freaking out a little too quickly. It's just incredibly fucked up that they managed to mangle her leg instead of just knocking her over.
I wonder if there's any good resource online about a riot that happened in my college town a couple years after I left, where the police both caused and fueled it... complete with tear gas.

Both universities I attended in California required it. Sounds like a state law.

to clarify, north providence and providence are separate cities with separate police forces -- north providence, while not without crime, is a lot more suburban, even provincial in my experience. so while it might be tempting to lump the NPPD in with the notoriously violent PPD, i'd have to credit providence cops with a little more experience in dealing with protesters and activists. these were just 2nd-rate pigs who had no experience dealing with peaceful assembly and seriously misjudged how to respond.
