LA: Shocking moment a pickup truck hits a female BLM protester and then drives OVER her, almost striking a medic trying to attend to her before speeding off
2020-09-25
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Protesters and drivers clashed in two incidents in Hollywood Thursday night

  • In one shocking incident, a pickup truck driver was seen plowing into a female Black Lives Matter protester and then driving over her

  • Separate footage showed demonstrators surrounding the car moments earlier and trying to open driver’s door

  • LAPD chopper followed the driver and detained him but then let him go

  • The second encounter saw a car driving through a crowd of protesters and being chased down and attacked by people in another vehicle

  • Demonstrations continued nationwide in the wake of the grand jury decision to not bring murder charges against cops involved in Breonna Taylor's death

#14  Plows into? Looks like the truck was doing its best to get around when Les Emmerson jumped into the truck.

Good work by the truck driver to di di mau.

#12  "Medic," huh? You won't mind being a blood donor, then. Right?

#11  One of the probems with being an anarchist is that you can't complain when other people break the law. As demonstrated by Paul Newman here.

#10  Revolutions cause blood to be spilled-- including that of the revolutionaries. Gee, who'da thunk it?

#8  Good citizens need to get out there and warn drivers of upcoming protests and suggest detours because city officials aren’t gonna do it.

#7  Surrounding individual automobiles with random occupants with loud demands is not protesting and neither are they protesters. It is an angry mob and they should expect to be treated that way. Thus far I'd say the only shocking dimension is the restraint American motorists have shown.

#5  Like how street blockers are making the football symbol for personal foul. But they were offside first. So offsetting penalties, repeat run down.

#2  Gee, I had a mom that said "don't play in the streets" cause you stood a chance of meeting a large moving object that weighed more than you.

#1  What was the shocking part? That the driver didn't put it in reverse and make sure the "medic" was down, too?
