Sayles Street family sounds alarm on alleged arson, online abuse
The Sayles Street family involved in the June incident that has led to punitive action against three Providence police officers says it has since been the target of verbal abuse and an alleged arson.
On Friday, Taffii Moore, who resides with her husband and children at one of the two homes where a fight broke out that drew heavy police response and pepper spray last month, said she has seen people drive past her house shouting and throwing bottles.
“I’ve been in and out of my home, she said. Sometimes I stay here and sometimes I don’t. I have to make sure that my kids are safe at all times. So if I don’t feel like they’re safe because of things that went on, then I have to leave my own home because of the incidents, and I shouldn’t have to leave.”

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) – Families in Providence claim more than 20 children were injured after being beaten and maced by Providence police officers on Tuesday night.
The families said in a press conference Thursday that police responded to Sayles Street in Providence after a fight broke out between adult neighbors. They said the officers then began to mace and beat children aged 1 to 17 years old “without warning.”
“We were at our property, they were at their property, they lined up behind you guys like we were getting ready to go for war,” said Taffii Moore, the mother of three alleged victims. “They attacked us. They attacked our children, they attacked everybody that was in this home. If you were recording, they attacked, they pepper sprayed.”
