But ... they shouldn't be blocking major intersections like that. It's stupid.

Last weekend a video surfaced where a patriot who looks like a real giant decided to face BLM rioters who were blocking a highway in Texas.
Activists in Plano, a city about 20 miles (32.2 km) north of Dallas, marched through the streets on Sunday to raise awareness about the death of Marvin Scott III. The 26-year-old black man died while in police custody at a county jail in March. Seven officers were fired and one resigned over the incident, which was ruled a homicide in April.
In a now-viral video, demonstrators are seen blocking an intersection as they shout “Black Lives Matter” and wave signs reading “stop killing us” and other slogans. A large column of automobiles can be seen forming as motorists wait for the road to clear. Suddenly, a large man wearing sunglasses weaves between the stopped cars and heads straight towards the protesters.
The brave patriot faced the group and one of the rioters pulled a gun on him, the man was not afraid and even faced the cowardly cop who didn’t do anything about it.
In the video below you can see that most of the other drivers get mad at the man for standing up to BLM.
Video below:
Here is the full video:
Below we captured the moment when one of the guys pulled a gun on him:
Plano Police even filed charges against the American patriot while they let the BLM mob who pulled a gun on him off the hook!
The investigative reporter Drew Hernandez tweeted this a few moments ago
TEXAS: The man who confronted BLM agitators who were illegally shutting down traffic has received charges, while the BLM agitators have not. The police chief commented by saying, “we have to negotiate with these people (BLM)”.
And it seems that now we have the real reason why the cop did nothing even after BLM rioters pulled a gun on the angry Texan.
Below we have a video of Plano’s Chief of Police Ed Drain marching with BLM on roads he shut down for them last year:
Many called this video fake but another video just confirmed the validity of the video above:
Drain walked for hours with a group in West Plano and took their questions in an informal meeting. Drain said he and other officers wanted to be available to answer the tough questions.
“We do have policies, we do have training, we do have hiring practices in place that make it less likely that we would have a situation like what happened in Minneapolis,” said Drain.
Specifically, Drain said the department hires officers with bachelor’s degrees or comparable military or law enforcement experience. Those without degrees must have taken at least 60 hours of college classes.
“There is data to support that the more educated officers are, the less likely they are to have to use force,” Drain told NBC 5.
Drain also said the department requires implicit bias and crisis intervention training.
“We think that what happened in Minneapolis was wrong, that was a tragedy that didn’t have to happen,” said Drain.
When it comes to the department’s approach with demonstrations, Drain said the department tries to connect with organizations ahead of a protest.
“I don’t need to wear gas masks, I don’t need to wear shields and batons to keep somebody safe while they exercise their first amendment right,” said Drain.
“If we were to get intelligence that people were intentionally coming out to engage in civil disobedience, then we may change our approach.”
This explains everything!
That was a dangerous spot, right under that overpass. Chunks of concrete fall off of them sometimes. And to go look and see where it fell from, someone would have to drive a couple of miles in north Dallas traffic.
That’d be a real shame if a chunk fell on those peaceful protesters next time.
Filed charges for what crime?
But ... they shouldn't be blocking major intersections like that. It's stupid.
Actually, the protest was in Frisco to start with. It spilled over into Plano.
Says someone from Georgia that doesn’t know anything about the demographics of Plano, TX.
..but a better photo would help
Former Mayor. Plano has a new Mayor now.
Agreed ... a better photo would help.
And while a better photo would help, you can see the two yellow markings on the side in both of these photos.
But a taser in the hands of a loony, especially where you can’t see the whole gun, is not a threat?
Let’s taste the mayor and the police chief.
Then we can resume the discussion.
Possibly, but the grip in the photo where the item is being pointed looks longer, and I cant tell for sure but it looks like a trigger finger through a trigger guard as well as grip tang and rounded or angled slide (like a walther PPK). Cant tell from the pic if I can see a hammer. The photo of the non-gun looks more squared of where the hammer would be. Also, unless the photos are reversed, one they show different sides of the items.
Didn't say that. Just saying reports of it being a gun seem to be incorrect.
That’s no surprise,,,,it is a surprise to the Plano Cops.
SUMMER of LOVE 2020, Seattle:
“A woman struck by a vehicle that drove onto a closed Seattle freeway early Saturday and plowed into a crowd of protesters has died, while a second woman remains in serious condition, officials said.
Summer Taylor, 24, of Seattle, died Saturday evening at Harborview Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg said. She had arrived at the hospital in critical condition.

Plano Police Cheif Ed Drain
Brandishing a fire arm is not protected either
Yep. They were flipping off big guy.
All I know is if you want to riot/protest/congregate...have at it.
The moment your riot/protest/congregation becomes an unlawful detainment, I will use all means available to ensure neither I nor my family, become a victim to whatever you may or may not have planned (these gatherings seem to get out of hand way too fast for me to wait around to see if they become dangerous)!
Well, there was a black guy dead in police custody, and seven officers were fired.
