A vehicle reportedly plowed through a group of demonstrators in Minneapolis Tuesday afternoon during a march and rally in the wake of a Missouri grand jury decision not to indict a white police officer for fatally shooting a black teenager.
A solidarity rally and march for Michael Brown, who was killed by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, was planned Tuesday near the Minneapolis Police Department’s 3rd Precinct building at E. Lake Street and Minnehaha Avenue.
A Star Tribune reporter who is at the rally says that witnesses say the vehicle started honking at protesters blocking the intersection before running down a woman around the start of the rally at 4:30 p.m.
Moments after the woman was struck, a group of demonstrators pounced on the hood of the vehicle, while others tried to free the victim. Witnesses say that the woman’s leg was caught under the car

Wasn’t me. I drive a pick-up and I wouldn’t have stopped.
I treat the Twin Cities like Mos Eisley on Tatooine. “A more wretched hive of scum and villainy...”
I agree...remember the motorcycle gang in NY pulling their stunt too.
A violent lynch mob gang is nothing to play with. “Peaceful” and blocking traffic my A$$!
Mostly ‘white’ liberals in the crowd. Couldn’t tell the race of the driver but it would be sweet if it’s a ‘black’.

The first 3 seconds of that Minneapolis video would make for a great GIF.
Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder said the protester suffered a “minor injury” to her leg and was transported to Regions Hospital in St. Paul. He had no immediate information on the driver, other than to say the person “was cooperating with authorities.” http://www.twincities.com/localnews/ci_27008194/ferguson-minnesota-rallies-wake-grand-jury-decision
Absolutely. For a crowd of that density, I’d say a minimum of 35MPH to ensure adaquate penetration with a vehicle that size.
Driver’s only mistake was in stopping...
If they are not dead, I’m not interested anymore. Too many criminals are getting away with lawlessness in the name of “protest”.
Well, payback’s a bitch.
Why didn’t the police do something about the rioters impeding traffic?
The protester was going for the Rachel Corrie Award.
The advantage of rear wheel drive is power braking. You can light em up before you get a running start.
Only a deaf blind man would hang out in front of a vehicle squalling tires and belching thick smoke as it headed his way.
Mrs. Puff: Okay, now, what do you do next?
SpongeBob: Floor it?
Mrs. Puff: Yes-- no! No! Don't floor it!
SpongeBob: Floor it?!
Mrs. Puff: No, no, don't, don't floor it!
SpongeBob: Okay, floor it!
See my Post 57.
Remember that game?
They tried to sit on the car hood. That didn't work too well.
The female thought she was tough enough to play chicken with a car.
FAIL!
Just because you get pissed off at every law abiding citizen, it doesn't men every law abiding citizen can't get pissed off too.
Block the street. Go ahead. Enjoy what happens next!
If your car is surrounded by these gangsters, plowing through them is the prudent thing to do
