BLM mobs rioted for the third consecutive night in honor of Daunte Wright.
Police and protesters faced off again in Brooklyn Center after nightfall, with hundreds of protesters gathered in the city’s heavily guarded police headquarters, now ringed by concrete barriers and a tall metal fence, and where police in riot gear and National Guard soldiers stood watch. “Murderapolis” was scrawled with black spray paint on a concrete barrier.
“Whose street? Our street!” the crowd chanted under a light snowfall.
Driver’s security is also a concern during these riots.
During these ongoing nationwide riots, carriers and drivers are advised to remain in constant communication with each other, and fleets are urging their drivers to avoid potentially dangerous situations.
Commercial truck drivers across America have ended up in the crosshairs of nationwide protests in response to the death of George Floyd, and no Daunte Wright.
Protests, as well as rioting and looting in some areas, temporarily shut down major roadways and interstates, and created even greater safety concerns for truck drivers who are still trying to deliver essential goods amid the global pandemic.
A video that was sent to us by one of our readers in Minneapolis reveals a woman protesting the death of Daunte Wright and holding a sign that says ” everyone deserves goodbye” and tries to stop a large truck from moving.
The driver decided to run over the protester and the video at the end reveals the driver’s smile.

Why do people stand in the middle of the street? A car/truck is coming to get out of the way don’t stand there!
What do you think?

Exactly. Any “mostly peaceful” protest may turn violent at a moment’s notice. Multiple people trying to stop/detain you, remove you from the safety of your vehicle - that is grounds to reasonably fear for your life. At least in my state, being reasonably in fear for your life is justification for using deadly force. Given the history of hospitalizations and deaths at these “mostly peaceful” protests I’d say the fear is reasonable.
What a weird sentence. I'm thinking she left off the "/s"
She wasn’t run over.
Dang! She could have done body damage to that truck!
Obviously you didn’t read the linked post, but I don’t fault you: defiantamerica.com is clearly permitting fake clickbait posts.
Though I agree 100% with the premise :)
I don't know who is dumber: the morons who write this sh!t or the readers who take it at face value.
I do hope these clowns piss off enough drivers where they simply refuse to enter their s holes. Let these people burn their cities and starve. It will be especially funny when we see advertisements of starving stinky antifa punks in UNICEF ads. “For only 1000 dollars a day you can feed a poor antifa child and support his meth addiction. Call today to sponsor your very own.”
I think there is probably an expiration date on the public toleration of a government that doesn’t get it together to deal with endless disruptions as there is also a point at which being called a racist will stop having the desired effect. People will eventually get tired of the endless drama, harms, and lack of functionality just like they will get tired of endlessly being someone else’s whipping boy.
I do see the Immigration issue swamping this for better or worse. People are going to want to move on and meet the new neighbors who don’t hate them or call them racist. What do you do when everything on tv is woke? You turn off the tv and talk to your neighbors. You might also find yourself deliriously happy to find that those new neighbors aren’t “woke.”
While I hope the protestor wasn’t killed...
The video was still great entertainment.
In other words, about average for 'USA Conservative'.
I wasn’t in a position to judge (I’ve made mistakes, too).
And he was ticketed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Old video.
Yeah... No. Not from the BC riots. But, nice try though.
Wasn’t a mistake. She deliberately posts clickbait every day.

Apparently the title is incorrect and this was a different incident in Canada.
They updated the article and I can’t edit the article here lol
Also she was an Animal Rights Protestor. The guy was hauling livestock. Fake!
At least the driver said sorry for the inconvenience it’s more then what the looters do?.
