Read my second post clarifying. I think he put himself in a bad spot (but stated I don't know why he would be there), but would have the exact same reaction.

When someone blocks your path and starts smashing out your windows, you gun it, no questions.

My issue was with the false narrative presented around it, considering none of what northcrunk says is apparent in the video. It's already a bad and violent situation, so unless there's some other evidence, I'm not sure why anyone would lie to make it sound worse. What the protestors/rioters did was already bad enough.

I'm not sure driving along with a motorbike, gas tank and a shed load of sparks jammed under the truck is a good idea either

Certainly looks like the rear tire gets punctured there. The scum then proceeds to run around the backside of the truck to presumably puncture the other tire but the driver took off.

Yeah, hard to say but it does look like that. Apologies if I was wrong about the slashing, hadn't seen this angle which makes it definitely look possible.

Was it the cops shooting at some teenagers aged 9-16 in Georgia yesterday? I read there was a 'viral video' associated with that but I haven't watched it.

Even better, it was in cahoots with Shapiro/The Daily Wire.

I wouldn't say discussed 1 person discussed it. More people are interested in the pickup truck incident. You know not a video of what happened and the reason for the thread. Thats because its uncomfortable to watch the video of george floyd and what lead to his death. Protests and violence that go with it is like watching reality t.v and people want to see that because its often messy . I get sucked into it to so I unserstand. I personally get grounded back to the topic of the main root of these protests when these more relivant news articles are put out . Thankfully there are still media outlets that are focused on the root of the issue and not just the sensational parts of the story.

People are tweeting that this was an elaborate troll job against Trump, Shapiro, and the far right.

So it's a False False Flag?

How many levels of irony deep does this go

This bodycam video has been out for a week and barely a peep in this thread that is supposedly devoted to discussion about that incident. Not much discussion at all. Perhaps it's because the video provides context about what happened that day. Context that goes against the established narrative that George Floyd died due to a racist police lynching.

America is falling apart at the seams due this narrative that was spun with an incomplete picture of what happened that day.

But anyways onto more pressing matters like Ben Shapiro getting pranked.

Just wait until Chauvin is acquitted of 2nd degree murder, which, obviously it isn't. You think you there's riots now? Wait until an acquittal. I certainly hope manslaughter is left on the table for the jury to consider.

Did you watch the video? The reason it isn't being discussed is because it doesn't change the narrative. We already had the transcript, we already saw an extended video of George Floyd being killed, and you think a video showing the lead up to that video "changes the narrative"?

Perhaps you should watch the video, because it doesn't do any of the things you think it "perhaps" does.

Unimagineable that you watched the video, and that was your take from it. A complete shock. Tell me what in that video makes you think he deserved to die, or what tells you his death wasn't racially motivated. Because I don't see how this video revealed anything we didn't already know.

Your assertion that this somehow disqualifies anything and your attempt to use this of evidence of "spin" that caused America to fall apart at the seams is frankly idiotic.

You really think that they'll be able to find a jury that will acquit, even when/if the evidence supports an acquittal?

I agree that this isn't murder, but don't count on facts and the law being a huge part of the decision making process of any jury they get.
