Don't play games. The mob was attacking the vehicle and trying to open the vehicle doors, thereby putting the occupants of the vehicle at risk. You don't just sit around and pray that the mob doesn't get into the vehicle via smash the glass or otherwise.

Don't play games. How were the protesters attacking the vehicle that had purposely driven into them?

The car was where it was lawfully allowed to be as a matter of course, in the street. The "protesters" were not. Again, as I had to spell out earlier, there is no right to block traffic or engage in some of the other shenanigans that the "protesters" have been engaging in. The First Amendment does not protect that.

It remains ridiculous the extent that you are going to in order to justify and to not call out the unlawful behavior by these "protesters."

The "protesters" were not all in the street blocking things, but quickly converged on the vehicle, which had driven down the street. The very video you posted in the OP shows the crowd quickly converging in the street as a smaller group of "protesters" initially are blocking the vehicle. This was pure mob mentality and activity and the mob got what it had coming for it.

You really going to let this person troll you continuously like this?

Its obvious what happened here.

Those individuals went there to cause trouble during the protest. They didn't just happen to be there at the same time the protest was happening.

When I was deployed, if someone told me do not go to into a certain area because of unrest do you think I would go into that area and when im attacked act surprised that I was attacked? NO! I had no reason to be there and was warned not to go there. At a certain point self responsibility comes into play and those people in the car knew what they were doing.

The video show the car was no where near the protesting, as the street looks to be an entire avenue long, but they decided to ignore officer orders to divert, then decide to drive into a crowd of people, of course the crowd is going to swarm the car because the car was the image of undercover law enforcement looking to plow through a crowd.

Now I in no way support BLM as they have allowed themselves to be infiltrated by everyone causing them a bad image.

But ive been watching this forum for too long and its all the same. An incident happens and everyone runs to their battle stations spewing hate from behind the keyboard without knowing all the facts and nothing can change their mind even after all the misinformation was cleared up and the truth comes out. They refuse to back down from their posts even after digging a hole so deep they cant even see daylight.

Common sense is common sense. You dont run to the danger then cry victim.


So by you two going back and forth it makes no sense.
