The incident occurred on the evening of May 30 as demonstrations were taking place across the city in reaction to the death of George Floyd at the hands of four Minneapolis police officers early last week.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio was asked about the incident at a late night press conference and said that the officers did what they needed to do to get out of that situation. “They are trying to hurt police officers and trying to damage their vehicles,” de Blasio continued. “And if the police officers are in that situation they have to get out of that situation. I wish the officers had not done that, but I also understood they did not start the situation, the situation was started by protesters converging on a police vehicle, attacking that vehicle. It is unacceptable … Protests in New York City do not look like this.
Good governance? No matter how powerful your country is. These law enforcers are way out of their league. Oi, Public opinion rules all in a country.
So what do you think would have happened if those “protesters” had disabled the police car and were able to pull the cop out? You think they would’ve let him walk away? Or would they have beaten and probably killed him? If your answer is the second, then this was justified
Does anyone know why the very first question on Fox News Face Book page is 'How do I make a payment?' Why is Fox News asking people how a person can make a payment to Fox News right from the go? The answer is, profits before people.
And then.... there’s no covid. 🤔

So what do cops do at the end of their shift? Change clothes, go home, take a shower, eat a hot meal, talk about their day, maybe have a smoke or a drink and do it again the next day? Crazy. I can't imagine anyone can turn it off and on easily.
Wow how bad is that, thankgod it is videotaped. I see lawsuits!
I long for the good ol’ days when you can distinguish thugs based on the color of their bandannas. These days it’s badge, no badge.
It’s called self-preservation on behalf of the police dept.
The Cops in this case were under attack, this makes it legal, Id drive through those Assholes as well
Now show the other angle
There are officers in those squads. Shit is being thrown at them. Stop justifying this lawlessness. This is no longer a protest, these are riots. Their lives are in danger. Officers are trained about mob mentality. Time to bring back law and order. And yes, it isn't always pretty
This is NOT ok bring in the national guard shut this down!
Don't throw things at the Police and you won't be hurt.
40 counts of attempted murder? Run you car at police and you will be shot.
Add more fuel to the fire

cuerda de anormales que no entienden que atentar contra las leyes protestando como colectivos delincuenciales no soluciona nada
BLUELIVESMURDER notandneverabovetheLAWFthepolicepigs
Shoot all looters..
Nothing to do with Floyd. This is Terrorism. People better get their protect ready
They had to defend themselves both in gbwrong there
Oh well. When you start attacking officers they have a right to defend themselves.
What is the difference between shooting them and driving into them? Is this the way police protect the justice? They even did not read the Miranda warning before this TERRIBLE act of violence! SOOOOOOOO terrible! SHAME ON POLICE
This is sad, I know there was a police involved in the killing, maybe others, but this car has nothing to do with it, they are just doing their job and look what is happening.
If you want to protest, don't be stupid doing it. Don't put yourself in the path of cars. Common sense.
This is slowly degenerating to civil unrest. America!!!
bj141cox America has lost all respect around the world!
Why are protestors being violent in first place? Why are they destroying public and private property? Yesforpeacefulprotests NoforviolentProtests JusticeforGeorgeFloyd NotoRacism
A Fokker is needed here to disperse sheep
Is this normal?
I don’t blame them. Throwing things , surrounding them and according to ACLU Protesters right they had a right to do this. Do some research before you keep spamming False News!
Are there any pics of who is driving those vehicles? I would believe it is a couple violent protesters than cops. Those cars are left unattended.
Show some footage of the criminals, looting, vandalizing, burning and beating and killing officers and store owners. Pathetic reporting ABC! Shame on you!
strong blame NYPD.
“Protestors” beat the hell out of female shop owner as husband pleads helplessly. In broad daylight.
ABC is despicable.
That is why the city needs to reopen ASAP ! People have so much energy need to release and they cannot stay home anymore.
These are not protesters what the hell is wrong with the media these people are having a riot in the streets
Looks like the protestors plowed into the police?
Why no mention the roof of the car being set on fire.?
Police in America don’t care. Look at this violent behavior. Time and again they get away with it.
Citizen outrage .
Aggravated Assault in the first degree.
Doesn't look like peacefull protestors to me
What the hell is wrong these officers? They should be fired and thrown in jail.
Not protesters-rioters. So you think the police shouldn’t defend themselves. It’s stupidity like that-that allows for the division. Criminals can’t be ignored.
Quit calling these protests and supporting these people.
Beautiful Lover's of God in Jesus Christ Name I do Pray for Almighty God to Show Up Now Our Black Men and Women been Quiet Far Too Long this is Just a Little bit Of Anger Coming Out Just too much for For the People
America is just a shithole really ain’t it, there’s never anything good about it, it’s just people getting shot, killed, robbed, drug taking, scandal, racism, fraud the list goes on!
Good!
Demonstrations?really That is the new media term for riots and looting and arson? Media is complicit is this destruction of cities. You had a shot to help. You blew it.
Dont play in the street
They are not protesters. They are rioting. Full support for police.
Support peace parade, oppose violent events. Is there Russia,China and terrorist organizations to participate in the US violence?The enemy of the United States may be united,using real incident to spread false information,money bribery criminal gang,mislead us,they often do this.
This is a misleading headline. ABC you are part of the problem.
Good! They deserve it. They’re terrorists.
wsbtv The did it because they feared for their lives. Wouldn’t you have done the same? These police officers are actual people too. With family and don’t want to die.
wsbtv Maybe they didn’t want to be set on fire while they were still in their SUVS
wsbtv riots2020 CNNFakeNews FakeNewsAlert
That was not a peaceful protest. The police is not at fault all the time. What happened doesn't look right but the crowd was behaving insanely intimidating & provoking the police. Very uncivilized.
SuzeteEckert They need to be fired
They were holding the barricades. There is no good outcome based on that footage. Protestors? Group? No, mob of rioters ready to go nuts
Hope you people are proud of yourselves
These people asked for it! These unruly people need to 🗣 GET BACK IN LINE - YOU ARE OUT OF ORDER! 😤😡
What the hell was he supposed to do, stay there and get torn apart by an angry mob? I’m genuinely curious how you would have handled the situation.
Proving again NYers are stupid.
Americans lives matter
Looks Volatile
Stop playing. Video
You mean rioters and looters?
What is your solution Jon? You turn to AOC to tell you it’s not ok? If a swarm of bees ever come near you please don’t swat at them.
GeogeFloyd has been kneeling to death by USA cop for a few days. Has any western governments condemned it? Are all pretending to be dumb, thinking that others cannot see? Human rights is really a sword that pierces the third world countries! It’s a weapon to ruin others.
How is this ok? Police officers who are suppose to protect and diffuse situations. The light is shining bright on WHO THE CRIMINALS & AGGRESSOR ARE.
Good for them!
No democracy! Human rights are being violated! Pillage of justice! A state that crushes its people!
Looks to me like self defence after seeing what these antifa cowards have done to cop cars
NYPD, Why am I not surprised. Was that James fields friend driving that RMP? Why make things worse?
It’s callled holding the line get it right. They used a vehicle to hold the barricaded ..............
That’s not really “plowing”
Protesters are surrounding police cars ,burning police cars and attacking instead of protesting
Stop ANARHY
Good for the NYPD.
Dude in the red has some serious vertical.
Use nails and thorns to sabotage the tires of police cars, so they won't kill you and chase you
Don’t bring rocks to a gun fight. The mob was trying to hurt them the cruisers won.
For the police to use their vehicles as weapons that’s a problem that shines more light on how police abuse really is
People freaked out when a hairdresser opened a week early during shutdown. But are defending this crap. Wake up America. Punish the bad cops now and stop the nonsense.
Move bitch, get out the way, get out the way...
This is white supremecy and it will not be tolerated anymore. We are rising up! They created this
If you’re going to act stupid, you deserve what comes to you
Oh my God 😮😮
Why not say 'protesters block the street and throwing things to police cars passing through' as your headline?
To whom it may concern I strongly suggest you to learn from us!!
Americans are all in for deadly force. Bullshit has to stop.
Their lives are at risk. I don’t blame the officers at all.
This is America!
So I guess the reverse gear was broken? Wtf
They are not plowing, it is a road, road is for cars, not for people
ye ,👍👍👍
When chaos knocks at your door, reinforce it. Don’t go to public places and stay at home if you live in those cities affected by the riots. Protect your family and be honorable. technomages chaosinamerica chaos BlackLivesMatter LAProtests USARIOTS BLACK_LIVES_MATTER
Show why they did it could it been because they where trying to hit them already. No vandalism was being done was just walking in the street like every other protest is done. Just like the stay at home don’t want to wear a mask to save lives protest did.
Trumps are looting the United States of America.
Tiananmen Square again, NYC 🗽
Good. Don't throw stuff at cop cars, don't block the streets to traffic...in other words, don't commit crimes or be part of a mob inciting violence.
No American should be treated as such. And anyone with a badge acting this way needs a new job.
Every day he scolds Hong Kong for saying that the police violently enforced the law and there was no human rights. Does the United States look more like Nazis now? 天天骂香港说警察暴力执法，没有人权。现在看起来美国更像纳粹吧？
These cops had nothing to do with Floyd’s death and they were put in fear of life due to overwhelming numbers. Run over those who are out of control.
fakenews is the same propaganda outfit that allowed Epstein and his friends to rape and probably murder children by hiding a report that would of brought it to light.
Where is the report of the shop owner who was beaten inches from his life on live TV
Good
These aren’t peaceful protesters ,they are rioters bent on destruction.ABC stop making excuses for these barbarians!
You have no idea what the demonstrations were about. And neither do the punks rioting.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Fuck the police.
Don't do that lest protest with respect
Should ram them more
DownloaderBot
Should hav accelerated through the mob rioters!
Idiot rioters
And this clowns are throwing debris at this officers whythey should all be prosecuted.
And it's perfectly justified...
Quit crying! It’s easy to criticize from your couch. Behind your keyboard. What would you do?
Foot slipped off the brake 🤷🏻♂️
I really feel sorry for what is happening over there.
This is what happens when you stop...
Good
We are all against American racism until revolution until the fall of the regime
Every single time I watch this it makes my blood boil. Isn't it actions like this that created this mess we are in right now? nypd we the people are your supervisors and you failed, again! PoliceReformNow PoliceThePolice nypd
The car that burned money, you yourself are the money of the state, the money of a people
Calling on all faith groups to help bring this destruction and violence to an end. Unity will bring true justice. MSNBC FoxNews CBSNews
Get the hell out of the way!
Still haven’t learned anything
Sad & selfish! I support the peaceful “Black Lives Matter” demonstrations that NEED to take place, however it is clear others of all races are out of control: looping, destruction, etc...
Protest loud and hard 👏
You forgot to mention people swinging bats at the car and jumping on it!
OMG!!!!! 😢😢😢😢😢
Be a barrier
Smh😲
Send a replacement army
Go home you savage imbeciles, you remind me of ZombieApocalypse... Robbing shops is not honouring G. Floyd, bing flowers and candles instead like civilized people do. Besides, where were you when a black cop killed a white woman in 2017?
The media is pathetic
When you throw stuff at people you’re no longer protesting, you’re rioting. Keep stoking the fire abc that’s all you’re good for.
Clearly the cops didn’t try hard enough.
What about all the white people getting burnt alive and women being gang raped in Africa it happens that much the papers dont report it.. all the riots and white people getting battered to death trying to protect their property from black looters. whitelivesmattertoo
GeorgeFloyds
Picking out THAT to show? Couldn’t find any rioter violence to post? 🙄
Does ABC have a higher audience rating? Isn't there a black-headed mouse among the citizens who incites the riots? 🐀🐀
The government made people disappointed so they fight with police. right?
And some people actually dont understand why so many increasing millions of Americans are losing respect, trust and support for law enforcement. Maybe it has always been this way and it's just getting filmed more now, like with racism.
Charlottesville v.2
That is not more for George floyd This is just anger and destroy everything for pure pleasure
Where is the full video? Where is the video of rioters physically assaulting cops & almost killing a store owner? Lol you ppl are literally working for satan.
Anarchist hoping to surround the vehicle & set it & driver ablaze. 🔥
Tremendous variations of Charlottesville :(
It happens in almost all countries in the world.There bound to be Black Sheep in any police force.And Authorities had taken responsibility with guilt and settled it in court of law by paying compensation. But rioting and looting is not the answer. It is wrong to law in our hands
WRONG! THIS IS PLOWING! ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Riot2020
Not connected to the mourning & march for George Floyd. These people are anarchist disguised as protesters.
Same story everywhere in the country, police escalation
AMERICANS have the opportunity to get the real RACIST in WHITE HOUSE realDonaldTrump, this nigga is bad for USA for another 4 years. November is not far, do it and USA will be okay again.
NYPD gotta do what they gotta do.
The mob that killed these demonstrators! Let the Hong Kong police see how the United States does it.
Haha!!! Good!
wrong pedal? they didn't teach it in police academy 7.
香港暴徒看过来，你们活在中国香港面对香港警察有多幸福，再不懂珍惜就要去美国游行了
The police should be coming down hard on violent protestors. If you want to smash up a police car, loot a store, throw bricks at people then you should be greeted with a heavy response. If you want to protest peacefully then please carry on and the police will support you!!!
Everyone's a filmaker
At this point the media's so called truth is actually creating more divisions
Someone had to have been injured! Tons of steel plowing, using the car to deliberately mow down humans on foot! The driver of this patrol car has no more regard for human safety that Derek Chauvin did when he suffocated George Floyd with brute force!
'Plowing' .. you are trying to stoke riots you sick and twisted fake news
NYPD, ramming the Barrier bars was an attempt to kill, NOT maintaining order ! Cars can be fixed, but lives can’t ! Two wrongs don’t make it right !
Antifa are funded by who ?
This are not protesters, they're puppets with a mission.
Omg 😮
Trump has turned the world into a park of wild cats where every living creature has to be on tension. The voters warned on the eve of casting the vote not to dare give him power but never listened to the calls of the world. But now we must bring him down, Go Go Trump Go!!!
I'm matt from Detroit, i want a loyal baby and I promise to treat you right and spoil you so much Text me baby Will be waiting for you(646) 439-6038
Is this The Police or The Purge?
Um . . . How can the cars be 'plowing'? Are they pushing the metal barrier in front them forward?
When they are throwing things they are no longer protestors. They are rioters. Mob violence can be deadly.
Not protestors . Rioters
I’d be ploughing too. The snow needs clearing. Someone needs to do it.
By the way, most of america would approve of tanks now
If the protesters did this, or shot at journalists, or shot lethal rounds at civilians, the media would be calling the entire movement 'terrorists'.
In order to fight for democracy and freedom that the US Gov has always advertised, please take up your guns.
Criminal
♥rights are very important, and when we all have rights everything will be ok.♥like page♥to have nice life. Government they have to give them society rights now. Visit this is link and share with your society
Should limit the power of the police, they really have the right to take the lives of ordinary people? These people are completely unarmed and are under a deadly threat.
Over here in Germany Police is trained to deescalate..what is going on over there in the States, what kind of a Mad Max-situation is this? Some cops are out of control-maniacs, plowing into a crowd of people. They are supposed to protect their citizens, not kill them....
The level of violence is not as serious as in Hong Kong
ya can't win a fight with tha mob cos they're as deadly as a swarm of bees..
Rather than wait and be pounded by whatever is being thrown at them. Then dragged out and killed....
Show how the protestors protected Target not everyone is looting BlackLivesMatter From AndrewSolender
plowing into the crowd? Those folks were disobeying police orders to get out of the street and were throwing things at the police car. Let's not twist this story to make it out like these protesters were peaceful, friendly and law abiding!
Maybe the word 'plowing'is somewhat an exaggeration?
光州事件の時の軍隊やんこんなん💢
Even the police wants to kill as well. Free Black people to live
Eff those people. You get surrounded by a mob you get away from said mob. Enough of this nonsense.
Fire can only be extinguish by water..not by Fire, Blood only calls out for more blood...
If Black & Latinos - None White of America really want their rights to be respected as equal citizens of US then should NOT stop this time their protests -- till their is a guarantee that system will be changed
Looks like that police officer didn't want his cruiser destroyed.
At what point do you call this evidence of a police riot?
This is clearly an attempted murder by the police!
A terror attack like the ISIS attacks in previous years, except they added an extra car. The NYPD is an actual domestic terrorist organization at this point. Military needs to detain their officers.
Would you be prejudice of anything unless harm was brought upon you, if you knew that what you hate, you will have to reincarnate as in the next life? A spiritual enlightening as the soul progresses through time to grow & become more than just the color of skin, or sex
it is helpful
They literally could have left. But no, injuring innocent people is the right thing to do. Tragic.
Mob of rioters attack cop car. Shocked when the car attacks back.
What a Shame....treated like nobody.
Good... need more of this.
Sorry,... but the States are f*ked...
plz never ever make a movie in which america saves the world.
The Violence should
Why does the Delaware flag show 2 white men with weapons but no POC? Because I said so! Shut your piehole!
