This is one time where I'm glad the union will protect the officer.

For driving a pickup truck into a crowd of people? He had pepper spray. But not brains, apparently.

He drove up, stopped, allowed them to get out of the way and then slowly proceeded forward.

The idiots who didn't move had no brains.

BTW, I would have pulled up, turned on my radio fairly loud and then just stood on the horn.

If that didn't work, I would have turned around and backed up with my exhaust pointed at them and revved the engine giving them a nonstop dose of exhaust fumes.

The crowd of jackholes should have moved.

They were begging him to do it by banging on his car. They got their wish.

While not the wisest decision, he ultimately slammed on the breaks. Apparently, the vehicle hit someone, which is a shame, but these people should NOT have been blocking official government business.

They feel entitled to be a nuisance and stomp on the rights of others.

Race, religion, gender, ethnicity aside, if you place yourself in front of moving vehicles, it's gonna hurt.

Yep. Dont block the road you might get run over.
Same thing when BLM was protesting by standing in the highways blocking traffic. A few folks grew tired of it and drove through them.
