Video appears to show NYPD truck plowing through crowd

New York police are investigating after a video appears to show a New York City Police Department truck plowing through a crowd during a George Floyd protest in Brooklyn.
The 27-second video, which was posted to Twitter, shows an NYPD truck in front of a crowd throwing objects at the vehicle. There is a barricade in front of the truck. The truck then appears to drive into the barricade, knocking over protestors. Screaming and yelling are then heard while a person is seen jumping on top of the truck. It's unclear if there were any injuries.
CNN has reached out to the NYPD, New York governor and Attorney General's office for comment. Earlier, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he ordered the state attorney general to independently review the events of Friday's protests that included protesters clashing with police in Brooklyn and other boroughs.

    1. @XZ-GamerTV 1) Try to find ‘a rock” in nyc.
      2) Who said “get out”? He could have DRIVEN BACKWARDS.
      3) Those people were STANDING BEHIND A BARRICADE. The cop had to plow through it to get to them.
      4) What do you mean by “let him go”. No one was surrounding him. THEY WERE STANDING BEHIND A BARRICADE.

    2. @One by Land, Two if by Sea Run if by Air From looking at that video. I didn’t see anybody “run” over by the car. It’s all just fake to make the cop in that situation look bad. If he did have to go through that barricade then they should have let him pass. He’s an officer of the law (doesn’t mean he’s above the law) but usually in this situation maybe he had to go help someone out that was behind the crowd of people. You don’t know what his intentions were. I highly doubt he ran anyone over or anything close to that.

    3. @One by Land, Two if by Sea Run if by Air Also the barricade wasn’t legal. Just like to point that out there. I would analyze the situation before making an argument.

    4. @XZ-GamerTV The video clearly shows the vehicle run into people. They didn’t evaporate as the cruiser lurched 15 ft forward into them.

    5. @XZ-GamerTV Lets Logic for a minute:
      You have a J-walker. That is unlawful. Let’s run him down with our police cruiser.
      Deadly force: justified against people standing in the street or not?
      That’s why we have laws. And they apply to the police too.

    1. Maggie Paul why being salty? I mean, of course the guy is wrong as f*ck but still …at least get your spelling together

    2. @Joe Mincey Because he wanted Floyd to suffer, that’s why. He heard his cries for help and ignored. He brought this on himself.

    3. Joe Mincey it’s still police brutality that’s illegal he literally told the cop I can’t breathe just accept the facts

    4. @Miguel 💩 don’t worry about my spelling, Miguel. Maybe get an update on that grammar of yours before flattering yourself.

  1. They threw trash at me so I ran them over. Attempted Murder when you do it – inappropriate tactic when they do it. We are in 1984.

      U.S. Code, Title 42, Section 1983:
      allows a civil rights suit seeking monetary damages for deprivation of rights under colour of authority

      U.S. Code, Title 18, Section 241:
      Peace officers can be prosecuted criminally and incarcerated if they conspire with other persons to deprive individuals of their legal rights

      U.S. Code, Title 18, Section 242:
      Peace officers can be prosecuted criminally if they apply a law unevenly because of a person’s colour, race, or the fact that the person is an alien.

      CA Penal Code Section 422.6(a):
      broader than U.S. Code, Title 18, Section 242 – It does not limit the governmental agent to acting only under “colour of law.” It includes additional categories of religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, gender, and sexual orientation that are protected from discrimination.

    1. @LJ And her job is…….?
      There are special provisions in law allowing murder if you don’t like your job. ….Or are there?

    1. yep can’t get any justice from my police,time to start shooting all looters,all rioters,all lowlives who try to drag somebody out of their car…drag them into the middle of the street and blow their heads off.and do the same for biden,he’s the one behind this,it worked so well for obama to have a new riot every month,biden wants the same…jail biden,end of problem..

    2. Greg Foster You obviously were not listening to what Mayor De Blasio was saying. I know what is happening. Exactly what is your point? Plus, you condone these protesters behavior? So when you were on the force, your fellow police officers must of really loved you….NOT!!

  2. Driving into the crowd is there way to deescalate or “get away” as he pointed out is the problem

    1. @tudorjason windshield don’t break like that first of all. Plus they can runover ppl preventively?

    2. Dont they have a speaker thing to talk out side the car give them warning that you are going to proceed but why would he even go that way with the fence.

    1. @Melvin Gillham So, you’re advocating vehicular assault. Got it. It’s people like you who have no compassion for people when police abuse their power.

    2. @Melvin Gillham They are exercising their right to free speech by protesting… So are you against the first amendment?

    1. That depends, are they purposely blocking the roads like little bitches and throwing all sorts of debris at your car? If so, absolutely

    2. John Farlio right, completely stupid….. People are just ridiculous these days! I’d probably run them over too! go home get a life!

    3. laymelow so you’d attempt to kill someone for excersising their freedom to protest ? The double standard of Americans is truly amazing

  3. MR. MAYOR, IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING, THOSE POLICE OFFICER DID THAT TO THEMSELVES A LONG TIME AGO, VERY LONG TIME..
    #2020 DONT ABUSE YOUR POWER

    1. Our Island kills blacks in custody. Kidnaps their children and jails all indigenous. Difference is we are apathetic convicts and our govt can and does firewall all and any media coverage it deems true.

    1. How is that childish? He’s rightly suggesting that the protestors got what they deserved. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    1. Yes, why did he say he was surrounded with no way out? Reverse would have not hurt anyone while forward was attempted murder.

  4. “Footage of cops running over Protesters ” I fixed your headline. Protesters were behind a barrier. That was attempted murder by those officers. That is criminal behavior by cops…EXACTLY what started these protests.
