Video: Rioters Chase And Attack A Driver Who Attempted To Maneuver Through Their Mob – The Police Detained The Driver
Conservative US ^ | 09.25.2020 | Alex Hall

Demonstrators had gathered at 7 p.m. at Hollywood Forever Cemetery before marching through the streets of Hollywood.

They were decrying the announcement Wednesday that just one of three Louisville, Ky., police officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor, who was shot to death in a bungled raid of her apartment, had been charged with a crime. The one indicted officer, Brett Hankison, was charged not in connection with Taylor’s death but for allegedly firing blindly into her apartment building.

The charging decision, anticipated for months, has infuriated people throughout the country and spurred large protests, including one Wednesday night that drew hundreds of people to downtown Los Angeles.

Around 9:30 p.m., a white Prius attempted to maneuver through a crowd of demonstrators near Sunset and Cahuenga boulevards and then sped off.

Another black pick-up truck pulled up in front of the Prius, stopping it in its tracks.

Someone got out of the truck and went up to the Prius’ window, reaching in and trying to get the driver to stop. The Prius managed to backup but hit another car behind it — which appeared to be the same Mustang that followed the first truck.

The Prius managed to get away but the driver was detained several blocks away, police said.

The shocking incident was captured by a local news helicopter.

Watch the video below:

As the reporter in the helicopter noted, the driver of the Prius did not seem to be attempting to run down any protesters, but was attempting to carefully maneuver through the crowd.

Another video below:

The LAPD officers that arrested the victim of this mob violence are a damn disgrace to the badge, I guess they forgot “To Protect and Serve”, those officers should lose their badges and be thrown in jail.

There is a 99% chance the driver of the Prius was a democrat, but that is irrelevant. The police report said the mob that hunted the Prius down and attacked the driver “became engaged in a confrontation.” Just another outrageous violation of a citizen’s rights while letting rioters go free.

Well, sure, the driver without a permit interrupted a “mostly peaceful” “protest” that didn’t need a permit to block the streets.

“There is a 99% chance the driver of the Prius was a democrat, but that is irrelevant.”

It’s likely why he was let go!

I’m sorry,(not sorry) but if you block my truck, pound on my truck, try to break glass, try to open the door... I’m hitting the gas and what happens next is between you and God. Especially if my family is in the truck. I’ll take the consequences gladly.

The OP’s article did not say the driver was let go, but this one does:

The driver then drove off and was initially detained by law enforcement a few blocks away from the scene before being allowed to leave.

They have to detain him as they acquire basic facts. I have little doubt he’ll be released without any charges unless stuff happened before the video starts that shows any criminal activity on his part.

From the videos - start to finish - he is a victim trying to get away to safety. Nothing more. That video makes prosecution of any sort pretty darned difficult.

If that had been Kentucky, the driver would have been completely within his rights to plug the guy that broke his window with a skate boards wheels. It’s been tested in the courts. The only difference was it was a baseball bat rather than a skate board.

(Cannot let this one go without comment!)

Especially if my family is in the truck.

That is what men are for.

Comes under the heading Taking the Trash Out.

The police who are defending the BLM and Antifa types are making themselves viewed as enemies to the patriots. I suspect that if they continue to defend Antifa and arrest regular citizens defending themselves soon they won’t have the support of either side. Should the SHTF I fear that these same cops will be viewed as valid targets ... of both sides. My suggestion to these cops ... you better pick a side before its picked for you.

They detained him in any case, like he should have stopped and get beaten up by the mob!

"Especially if my family is in the truck."

"That is what men are for."

Agree wholeheartedly. I can be pretty patient when it comes to myself. And even if I was alone expect me to do what it takes to survive.

If my family is in danger, though, expect me to do whatever it takes to protect them. Then after I've carried them to safety, don't be surprised if I come back to make examples out of the ones who attacked us.
