Why were they climbing on the cars to begin with?

Doesn't excuse what the driver did like

Im not sure if its sarcastic or not but people over here in America think you can stop a freeway and jump on random peoples car as a way of "protest".

Usually scornful of these types of protests (because most of the rioters are doing it for a laugh rather than because of the central underlying cause in 99% of them), but in this instance they are probably justified as that was murder and, indeed, racism.

But now the guy has been charged with murder, it's time to stop.

Not excusing the driver’s actions but I’d probably lose it if some douche was on my bonnet as I was driving through town. She could have been scared and acted out of character. This in no way equates to the Charlottesville case.

I think the problem is that she deliberately turned right to make sure she got him

If she just drove forward to shrug them off then that's one thing, but the second bit was intentional by the looks of things

We need VAR to make sure.

untill next week when some unsuspecting black person gets dragged out of their car and forced face first in to the dirt for failing to use their turn signal.

OK then let's riot forever.

OK then let's riot forever.

Rioting over race has been happening in the states for ever.
One cop being rightfully convicted isn't going to stop it.
What might stop it is equal educational opportunities for black people, equal ability to borrow money, or get admitted to college, or keep a clean driving license, or increase credit score, or the ability to live close to supermarkets or parks and not in the shadows of chemical plants, equal access to clean drinking water, and seed investments for small businesses and on and on.

If this was premeditated as well... wow. So many things wrong with this. Not only the casual dose of racism, but the cop involved genuinely believed he was so untouchable that he could get away with it. RIP George

I wish I was over there, I need a new pair of trabs, and if I get accused, I could just blame it on Chelsea.

What's your preferred method of protest?

The second part of that video is even more mental. Someone is still holding onto the car window as it speeds down the road. It is in the replies.
