That doesn't matter. you still cannot run a vehicle into people and not stop

They are blocking traffic for the vehicle to get through. What do you expect? Looks like the guy was trying to stop the vehicle more or less then them deliberately plowing through him. They do have a job to do. It's his own fault. I didn't see the vehicle plow through anyone else or deliberately target him.edit on 19-5-2012 by Manhater because: (no reason given)

Looks to me like he was slowing the van down enough so the other protestor could slash the rear tire. As soon as the tire is punctured he runs off.edit on 19-5-2012 by ANOMALY502 because: (no reason given)

ok first off its a police van not an ambulance and i consider this baiting.Watch this it will hit the news! The police are going to say they responded to a 911 call "fake call set up by undercover female cop using rape " the crowd actively blocked their access ,said cop scared for the life of victim rushed though the crowd . What this looks like to me is the police are actively trying to get a reaction out of these people so they can demonize the protest as violent. Funny put a few drones in the air and the president in town and some nato a-holes and safety concerns fly right out the window.

Puncturing the tires with a knife is definitely hostile.As for why police vehicle needed to get through the crowd who knows but if its an emergency (the purpose of the lights and the loud siren) then he should have got out of the way.He choose to get in the way of the vehicle trying to get them to stop.Obviously if i was a police officer i wouldnt have wanted to stop there with some guy carrying something sharp enough to puncture a tire.How hard would it have been for him to walk up to officer exiting the vehicle and stab him instead of the tire?
