I support what de Blasio said, those protesters crossed the line attacking the car. Never forget what happened during the 1992 L.A. riots when people were pulled from their vehicles.

This has been happening multiple times already, where cars were attacked or threatened by protesters, the logical thing to do is get the hell out of there if you value your life.

A video has emerged of two police SUVs plowing into a group of protesters in New York City after being peppered with debris from the crowd of people.

The incident occurred on the evening of May 30 as demonstrations were taking place across the city in reaction to the death of George Floyd at the hands of four Minneapolis police officers early last week.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio was asked about the incident at a late night press conference and said that the officers did what they needed to do to get out of that situation.

The sight of those two NYPD SUV’s pushing the crowd out of their way is the only thing I’ve seen in all of this that made me smile.

He's also falsely calling the U.S. "Systemically Racist" and of course wrongly blaming Trump for it. He is an IDIOT.

Yeah, I doubt AOC will sing the same song if she didn't lived in a gated community.

I suppose you could reasonably argue whether or not the U.S. has systemic racism. But no one can honestly say Donald Trump is not racist.

Donald Trump is 100% racist ... Birtherism, asking the Trump University judge to recuse himself because he's a "mexican," "everyone from Haiti has AIDS," telling 4 congresswomen to go back "where they came from," etc., etc. You can have your own opinions but you can't have your own facts...

First, those aren't protesters, they are rioting savages.

Second-AOC is a moron, who cares what she has to say?

Your pretend outrage wouldn't be so shallow if the guy you are going to vote for wasn't a racist segregationist who said he didn't want his kids to grow up in a "racial jungle". Heck, he just had a doozie a couple weeks ago, and he's been hiding in his basement for months, speaking only when allowed to speak by his wife, who can probably tell when he's prone to one of those "senior moments".
