A disturbing incident was videoed in which a truck after attempting to get through the crowd of Minneapolis Rioters, sorry, I meant “protesters” who were illegally trying to shut down the highway.
The tanker drove along the westbound lanes of Interstate 35 when the road was full of people protesting over the killing of George Floyd at the hands of the police.
While the fake news media claims the road was closed. The road was in fact only in the process of closing and the driver did not go through any barricades, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Services.
But amazingly…HE GETS ARRESTED?
From DPS Commissioner Harrington: From the footage we are seeing on @MnDOT cameras, it appears the semi was on I-35W as authorities were closing the road. It didn’t appear to drive through any barricades. Driver released from the hospital & under arrest. #MACCMN

One on-site video shows the moment the truck was stopped, with the cameraman yelling to people to get on the other side of the street and away from the potentially dangerous vehicle.

Another one shows angry protesters pursuing the truck. “Get his f**king ass out,” somebody is heard shouting as people block the windshield of the truck with their bodies and drag the driver out.

The terrifying chase was filmed from another angle.
It shows people throwing cycles in front of the vehicle in an apparent attempt to stop it. “Hey, you can not hurt him,” the person shooting the video shouts to other protesters as they get the driver out of the cabin.

Insanely they arrested the driver, but not the 100’s of people blocking the road.
As my defense, I would simply say…
Remember the attack on Reginald Denny was a racially motivated hate crime[1] that occurred during the 1992 Los Angeles riots, when Denny, a white construction truck driver, was beaten nearly to death by a group of black men who came to be known as the “L.A. Four“.
The attack was captured on video by a news helicopter, and broadcast live on national television.
