A Texas cardiologist claimed his daughter and her boyfriend were attacked by Black Lives Matter protesters in Baltimore — but the young couple told cops they were actually accosted by young squeegee washers, bodycam footage shows.
Dr. Andrea Natale, executive director of the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute at St. David’s Medical Center in Austin, took to Twitter Sunday claiming his daughter called him in tears, saying she was driving in Baltimore when her car was targeted by a “group of BLM,” according to a screenshot of the since-deleted tweet.
“It was damaged & and her BF was beaten,” Natale’s tweet continued. “She filmed it & called the police but they cannot do anything bc they are African American. Is this the America we want?”
The doctor’s tweet went viral, racking up nearly 50,000 retweets or likes before he took it down and later deleted his account, according to the Baltimore Sun, which late Tuesday obtained police bodycam video of officers responding to the scene.
The footage shows Natale’s daughter, who appeared to be shaken up, telling an officer that a “kid” approached her car at an intersection and tried to wipe her windshield before she “very politely” said no.
“And then they started yelling at us,” Natale’s daughter said.

How unfair to BLM.
Black Lives Matter lives matter.
This is fake but accurate incident. Liberals do that all the time. Do the squeege kids support BLM? Is the reason the police department doesn’t address squeege kids because of race? Did the squeegee kids commit assault? Yes, yes and yes are the likely answers.
We need to listen to their lived experiences, silencing their voices is oppression.
What a moron.
I completely understand the anguish but why go to TWITTER to rant about it under your own name?!
Forget it.
Chris Wray thinks ANTIFA and BLM are just a bunch of independent squeegee kids.
Look at the lengths they’ll go to, to defend BLM.
Investigate their founding, their policies, their leader,
their activity on the street, well not so much.
This is why I won’t have Twitter or Instagram. Too easy to be stupid.
I have FaceBook (and that can get stupid there too) but I rarely look it it.
The squeegee kids are punks who damage cars if you don’t pay them money for dirtying up your windshield. They undoubtedly marched with BLM
Greasy rag and dirty water in a spray bottle. They walk over and spray dirty water on the windshield and smear it around with an oily rag then ask if they can clean your windshield. You say nah but you have to give them some money because you can’t see to drive away. Always make sure your window washer fluid is filled and keep some 1 dollar bills in easy reach. Always smile and say thank you and they may let you leave.
LOL. Yes Sheldon.
That’s exactly right. BLM, squeegee kids - the difference is perhaps a few years of age.
Comparatively speaking, the advanced training and discipline required of squeegee washers would be of little use in the blm organization...
Many if not most of Baltimore’s squeegee “kids” are not kids at all. The leadership of Baltimore seems unable to see that the daily threat of being accosted by squeegee workers as you enter the city leads to fewer people willing to come into the city.
I expect the Squeegeers will be found to be part of BLM if black or Antifa if white. It is a good way to get near to your target.
Gives BLM a bad name. How dare they!
Squeegee washers can be quite aggressive...
