    Love to see it.
    (The video you referred to, not a riot.)

    I don't recall there being a riot when that rent a cop fired on a guy at TA either.

    The driver was arrested......are we really still having this discussion?
    I’m not defending those that riot. The driver imitated this contact, not the rioters. Let’s get our facts straight here

    Apparently the driver said he wanted to 'scare' the crowd by driving through it. What a #######.

    He was on his way back to tank farm in Roseville to load for 2nd trip. He knew of protests but not that they were on the bridge. He was legally on the highway. Shutdown change order was delivered just prior (4:30) to the incident starting at 5pm instead of 7 as the night before. He did not breech any barricade or barrier he was simply caught on the road at a place they hadn't shut down yet. He was speeding(70 in a 60) and distracted when he saw protesters late,he did a panic brake and stopped. Out of fear when mob surrounds him he lurches forward till he stops and is pulled from cab and beaten while crowd pulls delivery hoses off and flattens tires and opens valves, which do nothing.
    His driving record is very good and has been deemed NOT INTENTIONAL. 45427.jpeg 45427.jpeg

    Whatever..I guess you live here and pull tanker like I do.
    And since I'm recovering from surgery and have been tuned to the tv and internet all week,watching every DPS update while monitoring the internet and social media I guess I'll put my money on your Ill informed opinion..but probably not!
