Truck plows through Hollywood crowd protesting Breonna Taylor's killing; at least 1 injured

Source: KTLA News

At least one person was injured after a truck plowed through a crowd of demonstrators in Hollywood, where protesters were demanding justice for Breonna Taylor.

Sky5 was overhead as the Ford pickup truck struck a large group of people walking down the 6500 block of Sunset Boulevard between Seward Street and Schrader Boulevard at 8:54 p.m.

The vehicle continued driving, and a green convertible car followed for some time until police caught up.

The driver eventually pulled over about three minutes later, exiting the vehicle and surrendering to police. The man was taken into custody moments later.

Any bets on what bumper stickers are on the truck?

Two protesters were injured in hit-and-run incidents in Colorado and upstate New York on Wednesday night as demonstrations erupted across the county over a Kentucky grand jury's decision not to charge three police officers in the death of Breonna Taylor.

This pattern is increasing......makes 8-9 times since protest started, that I could find in the news.

Trump encourages violence and his followers pay attention.

Some 'very fine people' as Trump likes to say.

All the Times Trump Has Called for Violence at His Rallies

All? --- Probably not all.

Now multiply that be how many people were in the crowd and it would probably be life.
