Police officer drives into crowd as protesters surround car

A Detroit police SUV drove into a crowd of protesters Sunday evening after they surrounded the car, according to video of the incident shared on Twitter.

The car briefly accelerated into the crowd of approximately 15 people before stopping, sending some protesters onto the ground and the hood of the car, according to the video. Once stopped, it accelerated with people still on its hood, according to the video posted to Twitter by activist Ethan Ketner.

Detroit Police Department drove into 10-12 protesters including myself. Multiple people are going to the hospital.

Protesters can be heard screaming as they chase the car. The incident sent multiple protesters to the hospital, according to Ketner.

Jae Bass, who claims he was one of the protesters thrown from the car, said that he had originally stood in front of it to separate the car from the other protesters.

“In response to that, he just floored it,” Bass told the Detroit Free Press.

“He went super fast. Me and a couple of other organizers that were with me, just went flinging off. We went flying off. He ran over a couple people’s arms, feet. He ran over her phone. I think I was the last person on the car. I was just holding onto the car. I could feel him speeding up and then he did one of these and he [flung] me off the car,” Bass said.

The Detroit Police Department did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request to comment, but Detroit Police Chief James Craig said the department would address the incident at a press conference Monday afternoon Facebook page.

The incident is not the first clash between demonstrators and police, as protests sparked by the death of George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes, have led to high tensions and violence in cities nationwide.

The left would have preferred for the protesters to drag the officer out of the car and beat him to death.

Life is hard, harder if you are stupid. These dumb protesters (rioters) must learn that a suv is harder than them, duh.

Yes and the driver would still be found to be at fault.

Not if they were on top of the car and pounding on the windows, trying to break in. No cop wants to lose his weapon(s) or get a cinder block to the head. I think it was 15 to 2. Not good odds. Best to move on down the road so a molotov cocktail doesn't get tossed through a broken window or you have to shoot someone and get charged by the DA.

The idiot protester should be relegated to the ash pile. He says 15 people surrounded the police car. When predators bring down prey the pack surrounds the prey and launches numerous attacks until the prey falls. In this cast the police was the prey and the poor mistreated idiots were the attackers. Unfortunately they obviously did not learn anything because they are now trying to pretend that they were not the aggressors. His statement that he stood in front of a moving vehicle shows the high order of his intelligence.

Amen and Amen good cop and they should all do that.
