Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement

From the link Archie left in comment # 1814. I don’t know which group, if any, the shooter was associated with, and I have not seen his Facebook page, but it looks like an Antifa group was one of the hosts for the counter protest. Was the shooter with the Antifa group? I don’t know...


“On Monday, a group calling itself Back to Blue planned to drive around the Provo Police Department and honk their horns to show support for law enforcement.

Another group planned a counterprotest at the same time and place. On Facebook, their event page was originally titled End Police Brutality but was later changed to Marching for Racial Equality. The Facebook pages list the event’s hosts as the groups Insurgence, Solidarity for Justice, Salt Lake Equal Rights Movement and the Salt Lake Antifascist Coalition.“

The Insurgence group countered protested Back to Blue.

The shooter and the gal were with the Insurgence group. They're antifascist. I knew they were from the moment I saw the video. It's not rocket science.
 
Just went through his feed and he has 4 posts about the incident. All saying "allegedly shot" when he literally shot at someone on camera. He has to be one of the stupidest humans on this planet. Try to kill someone and then post about it incessantly on a public social media page. Some people's children. Jesus.
But the mean comments on his page though!
 


How dare this van not take a different route home. I can't stand assholes who act like a bunch of idiots in large groups. I can only imagine how terrifying that could have been for the driver.

One of the protesters pointed a gun at the head of this driver. There was a 5-year-old kid in the car.

If you pause at near the end, you can see the guy with the gun.
 
Or why surround cars, start shouting and slapping at them and block traffic? That accomplishes nothing other than making the protestors feel high and mighty.

Would you do that?

It's a protest, and protests get more publicity when they create a nuisance of some sort. Yes, I might block off an intersection during a protest.
 
I would take another route, most people would, but he can also drive legally down a public road. Now if he really did go speeding past 7 cars and pull up on the curb, which the video evidence does not show, then thats different.

I agree there's no reliable evidence of the speeding past seven cars, but from the size of the car he drove and it's position, it looked like it would have one wheel on the curb.

Blocking off an intersection is one thing. Doing what these protesters did is wreckless, provocative, dangerous, violent and uncalled for. They are not the victims.

Stop defending these assholes.

So, anyone at a protest where antifa are present is antifa? Does that also go for white supremacists?

I agree they are not victims. Counter-protesting is often provocative, dangerous, and violent.

Stop defending these assholes.

The ones in the original protest? No, wait, that's you defending them as 'just trying to get home'.
