So every time a mob of people gathers in an area, we should run them over with cars?
Who ever said that?

They are "just protesting"....
Death to piggies....
Burning neighborhoods down.....
Not your average peaceful group by any means.

No he didn't.
He did not say mow people down.
He stated that the mobs are blocking traffic. If you happen to bump someone don't stop there because the mob will tear you apart. Extract yourself from the danger and call 911, you are justified to move from the scene for fear of your life.
No problems at all with what he really said.
What the instigators of police violence interpreted is a different story.

This is called stereotyping and is the underlying source of racism/bigotry. It allows people to rationalize the unrationalizable. Things like running protesters over with cars.

All he stated was defend yourself.

Saying what they actually did is not stereotyping, it is called stating facts.

Wow, that's awful advice.
You can't run protesters over with a car. They end up stuck in your wheel wells. You can only do that sort of thing with a jacked up truck. That way you get optimal smushing action.

You do realise that protest, and violent mob action are not necessarily the same thing, and that citing the previous incidents, in which agent provocateurs were amongst the crowd (whose backers remain unidentified and may just as easily have been police under cover, or from right wing groups looking to start trouble), is certifiably stupid?

I'm sure the officer is talking about situations like the one in the link and there are many other stories like this.

Animals in packs are not safe to be around.
Animals? The only animal here is the cop. A better way for him to handle would have been if he told people a detour.
