The town manager wants a review of how the state police handled a street takeover last weekend when officials say as many as 200 people drove recklessly, blocked an ambulance and surrounded, kicked and jumped on a woman's car.
Connecticut State Police troopers were aware of at least three takeovers that occurred Sunday night and watched as the car stunts were pulled off in Vernon, Manchester and Tolland, according to a report obtained Tuesday by Hearst Connecticut Media Group.

The Mustang, whose driver state police later identified as Duron, left the Vernon lot and headed farther east to Route 195, or Merrow Road, in front of the Tolland shopping plaza, Fieldstone Commons, the report said. The other cars followed and blocked the plaza entrance and, according to Foley, also blocked the ramps leading to and from I-84 East.
Police witnessed the cars blocking the path of an ambulance headed to a call with its lights and sirens on, the report stated.
The report does not refer to the mob of people who surrounded a woman’s car, and were seen on video kicking and jumping on the vehicle. The woman was not injured, but the car was damaged, according to Foley, who talked to a witness.

A violent but mostly peaceful gathering destroying cars and blocking ambulances. Passing BLM inspired “police accountability” laws has consequences.
What’s the modern equivalent to grapeshot?
I didn’t think that there are problematic Amish in Northern CT.
Black entitlement, and to Hell with the rest of us.
Bean bag shotgun rounds will turn those es-eatin’ grins around.
“CT state police watched as street takeover rioters jumped on car...”
Yeah, but if the lady tried to defend herself with a gun...she’d be in jail tonight.
Surprise! Cops hate you and love criminals.
“What’s the modern equivalent to grapeshot?”
In my tank days a billion years ago it was 105mm Beehive (flechettes) or 152mm Canister (kinda like ball bearings).
Ofc there is the ever popular claymore mine (this side toward enemy).
When are we going to grab rifles and shotguns and put an end to this crap?
Mini gun.
They’ve been extremely handcuffed by the “accountability” legislation. If they do anything and make the tiniest mistake, they get thrown under the bus. The eating Connecticut voted for it, they can deal with it.
A few pellet gun shots to their heads from the shadows would scatter that mob.
Subsonic .22.
Back the BLUE!!

RE: destroying cars and blocking ambulances
The George Floyd riots blocked freeway and highway entrances and emergency vehicles including ambulances could not get through. One EMT crew got out and pleaded with demonstrtors that a person needed to get to the emergency room right away. No dice.
I live in Connecticut and that’s why I ALWAYS carry - I’m an old guy and “I feared for my life” (that’s how to say it, right?)
Not far from UConn campus. Many dorms and apartments along that 195 route.
