They're gonna be out of ammo when it's really time to crank it up.

But guys its peaceful, those are peaceful bullets. So, you know its ok.

He peacefully shot another 'peaceful' demonstrator, why can't they peacefully address this rather than arrest him?

WHY ARE THE ALLOWED TO BLOCK THE HIGHWAYS WHAT ARE THE POLICE DOING CALL THE FEDS IF THE POLICE CAN NOT DO THE JOB

thats not an suv. thats a jeep.

Hahaha. Turned “chaotic”? It that more or less than “intensified”?

I didn't know protesters violently attack cars and their drivers... When did the dictionary definition change to include wanton acts of violence? Does that mean riots no longer exist and are now just part of 'peaceful protesting'?

Is this the politically bias version of the story? Any idea when the factual reporting is coming out?

Protester? They are protesters as much as your organization is 'news' FakeNews

Allegedly? Really When the police do something it's just plain cut & dry. But finally you slowed down on just blaming the government & the police Our government & police are protecting the real non violent majority from the roit chaos that the news describes as just protesters

Waste of air

OH MY GOD NO WEAPONS PLEASE!!! WHAT A MESS!!!NOT THE RIGHT PROTEST PEOPLE THE OTHERS WHO IS WEAPON IN HANDS!!!!! WHAT WONDERFUL THEY WENT TO THE JAIL!!! THANKS GOD TO BAD PEOPLE GO TO THE JAIL...NOT THE GOOD PEOPLE WHO WANTS TO LIVE YOUR LIFE IN PEACE!!!!

The SUV is trying to get away from the violent rioting looting mobs. 'charging through the crowd' is the ONLY option if you don't want to be beaten or killed by these rabid animals who should all be locked up and the keys thrown away.

Sure! It must be the SUV's fault, not the ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter, aka terrorists thugs doing the shooting.

¿Pero quien coño lleva legalmente un AK-47 por la calle? Hay que joderse, putos estadounidenses. Así normal que pasen estas cosas.

armed peaceful protesters?

LOL even when he shoots at other protestors they call him a PROTESTOR. The bias is UNREAL. The news is the enemy of the people, they call a shooter who injures two others a proester. If he was on the right they would have called him... I'm sure you already know. Enemy of the ppl

Jeep drives through crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters in ColoradoIn Aurora, Colo., a blue Jeep drove into a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters on the interstate, sending people scrambling. One demonstrator fired a weapon in response, grazing one person. The protest called for justice for 23-year-old Elijah McClain, a Black man who died last year in police custody. I feel like MSNBC encourages these protests throughout the day. It probably doesn’t make much difference I guess. But they’re making it hard for dem politicians in cities to take stand. At least mayor Lightfoot did. Good for her. Destruction, fires, violence is not ok So this is news now? A car driving on a road? fakenews FakeNewsMedia
