Driver who had protesters jump on her car criticizes Raleigh police, protesters

RALEIGH, N.C. — The driver who was stopped and unable to get out of her car during a protest Thursday evening on the way home from a grocery run said she is certain those who threatened her do not represent the Black Lives Matter movement.

“These were violent, young, mean kids,” Deb Newton said of her ordeal, which played out on Blount Street. “I was terrified about them being on top of my car like that and as aggressive as they were.”

Newton said she got out of her car to get protesters to move, and that police officers who watched the exchange offered little help.

“The criminal justice system is here, and officers are here to make sure that people do not take the law into their own hands," Newton said. "I was forced – coming from the grocery store – to defend myself. It was insane.”

...

“These people were not peaceful," Newton said. "In my experience, they were physically violent. And I don’t know what they were about. They were not the Black Lives Matter people, because I support them.

"I am one of the lawyers who took a knee at the courthouse in solidarity after the killing of George Floyd ... but let me tell you something: When you start acting violent, there is no excuse, and I don’t agree with law enforcement officers not protecting citizens when that happens. There is a line and that crosses the line.”

Really stupid - speed bump or hood ornament, take your pick because I'm punching the throttle.

The correct title of the article should be,

“BLM Supporter Drinks Kool-Aid On Protest Which Attacked Her”

“...In other words the Police in Blue states are there to protect the thugs as they commit violence against law abiding citizens.....”

That’s EXACTLY what they’re there for. Otherwise, the citizenry would immediately take em out.
What’s so ironic is they’re protecting the very ones that are going to defund and ban them. It would absolutely comical if it wasn’t so serious.
That Karen got exactly what she deserved though... Roll all around in it, sweetheart. Does it smell like fresh dog crap? Yeah, because it is.

“Could someone explain the logic of this statement?”

.... there is no logic in the statement. It is pure idiocy.

Police chief says lock your vehicle doors and call 9-1-1.

Yeah like that is going to help.

The police were there and watched so what would calling 9-1-1 do to protect the driver and the vehicle.

Oh, and windows are shattered by the mob all the time. Rolling up the window and locking your doors doesn’t protect you.

My thought too...really dumb to get out of the car. It’s a MOB...you can’t count on the mob acting civilized, it is a rapid animal that can change behavior in a split second.

and she will carry on voting for the Democrats, still supports this insanity, and probably will donate money to the thugs whilst living in ignorance.

Exactly! she took a knee in servitude when confronted, why would she think the police would do any different? She got back exactly what she had given out.

That pic right there....

The women-ish-like ones looked like they fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

While on the other side of the state, in the city of Asheville, when the shitz tried to set up their own autonomous zone, the cops kept after them until they gave up and disappeared. And Asheville is VERY liberal.

Okay, I'll bite.

What do these perps all have in common (besides creepy eyes and no collars)?
