    1. @M Lewis I apologize, it looks like you’re right. He is Hispanic, his name is Nikolas Hernandez. People are saying that his brother is a police officer and that he is a well known member of the Pride Boys who are not explicitly white supremacists, they are however an Alt-right group who have murdered people before so yah…
      Then again watching the full video, there is also evidence that this might have been a misunderstanding as well.
      Sorry for jumping to conclusions it’s just that there had been 3 other incidents in the last week of avowed white supremacists running over protesters. Including Denver, Hanover and Bakersfield.
      Oh plus that insane man from Queens, who tried to run over a group of protesting kids and then got out his vehicle with a fkn homemade wolverine glove. You gotta see that vid.
      His name is Frank Cavaluzzi, and he looks absolutely batsht insane. 😂

    2. Another lieing police officer. Justifying ILLEGAL use of of force under both domestic and international law. Just like the police in Buffalo n.y who said that the 75 yrs old man tripped and fell to cover up their crime, then the video showed that they pushed him and he fell cracking his scull and they walked over him to show how tough they were. Bunch of scared people trying to play adult with guns. If the mayor’s don’t defund them then it’s up to the people. Show them how tough their job can be, then don’t let up until they beg for mercy. Then defund and dismantle them. And create a justice system that works for everyone in America.

  1. 1:17 “one uh person from the crowd was wrestling with the driver when the driver pulled out a gun and fired at least one round” Did she see a different video? The Video clearly shows the gun was pulled out before the driver got out of his car. Perhaps she is reading off the official police report of the incident. I hope not. Maybe this is what the protest are about Police people.

    1. UK Media Warrior NOOOOOO
      WE ALREADY KNOW THE SHOOTER IS A PLANT. And you’re here to set up the narrative against the hero. nope

    2. @Classy Lady You already know? Oh, well in that case you can tell us where you heard then, yes? You can show us your proof I suppose? Or is it again like so many things just what you want to believe?

    3. UK Media Warrior it’s like 387578583 videos lil boy. You’re tricks never work. The American people are too smart

    4. @Classy Lady All those videos state he is a plant?! Wow, can you show me one please that states outright that he is, please? Just one. I mean out of so many you must have access to one simple video that says this man is a plant by the police, right?

    1. * puts it back on straight away *
      nope
      .
      I reject your reality and substitute my own…

  2. Thank god that man didn’t snap all the way and start spraying. That would’ve been horrifying!

    1. Ethan Isomego , he did not snap at all. 1 well placed ,controlled round to eliminate the threat of being pulled out of his stopped vehicle and attacked is all that was needed. Full control , just like his vehicle when he missed hitting others that tried to attack him up the block, then stopped before he got to rest of the crowd. People just don’t snap a little then come back to reality.

    1. @zdwade why would you argue w a news source? Its like arguing w a library. They tell a story, you research it for more info. I do that whenever I hear something that is nuanced, regardless of the source. You have to be intellectually lazy to just blame an outlet for the news.

    1. @jameslock1 That’s my point, that he didn’t drive into anyone. He stopped so as NOT to drive over them and then they tried to pull him out of his car.

    2. UK Media Warrior

      Ok fair enough but you said “ before the protesters stopped him with the metal barricade”. Thought you were implying he only stopped due to the crappy little barricade. My bad.

    3. @jameslock1 It’s cool:) I simply meant stopped him as in standing in front of him so he had to stop.

    4. @howdareyou41 He drove slowly through and stopped, how do you know that he knew that area was blocked off?

  3. 100% self defense. Charging him with anything is a travesty. Notice how she describes the attacker as the “victim”.
