Watch: Black Lives Matter protester punches Hispanic woman driver in the face, another protester keys her car

Watch: Black Lives Matter protester punches Hispanic woman driver in the face, another protester keys her car 1

SAN BERNARDINO, CA- Dozens of protesters filled the streets on Friday, October 23rd to demonstrate against a recent officer-involved shooting of a black man in Southern California.

Fox News reported that the protesters marched down a street, blocking traffic at an intersection near where the officer-involved shooting incident took place. According to videos circulating social media, they yelled and screamed, shouting, “Abolish the police!” and “F- the police!.”

At one point during the violent protest, a BLM demonstrator punched a female driver in the face while another BLM demonstrator keyed her car. 

The officer-involved shooting incident was captured on video by a bystander, showing that the officer discharged his duty weapon on a man who wrestled with the officer, and then drew a gun on him. In response to this shooting, Black Lives Matter (BLM) rioted and shut down an intersection in San Bernardino. 

According to authorities, they received a disturbance call at the King Tut Liquor store near the intersection of Baseline Street and Waterman Avenue around 11:30 p.m..

San Bernardino police Sgt. John Echevarria said in a statement:

“There was a man jumping on vehicles in the parking lot location.”

Audio from the 911 call made before officers arrived on scene supports that statement. The female who called mentions a man jumping on top of cars and can be heard saying, “he’s just going crazy.” Within minutes, an officer was on scene and immediately called for backup as he ordered the man down.

Echevarria said:

“The suspect refused to follow those commands and attempted to walk inside the store behind me. The store was occupied by employees and citizens.”

The responding officer’s body camera was on and filming as he approached the man. A few moments later, the camera goes black as they wrestled to the ground. The audio kept recording and the officer can be heard saying, “Stop fighting, dude.”

The suspect was later identified as 35-year-old Mark Matthew Bender Jr., of San Bernardino. Bender had previously been arrested for domestic violence, theft, drug possession, DUI, possession of a firearm, and an arrest for attempted murder.

After the incident, police confirmed that Bender had a gun, which was found at the scene. Authorities also confirmed that the gun was not registered. Echevarria said that the officer spotted the gun during the fight.

He said:

“The officer saw the weapon and during the struggle was able to disengage during the fight for control of that suspect and was able to back away and protect himself by discharging his weapon.”

Back in September, violent protests erupted in Lancaster, PA., following an officer-involved shooting. In a statement following the fatal shooting, the Lancaster District Attorney’s office said that the man, who was identified as Ricardo Munoz, was armed with a knife when the officer had discharged his duty weapon.

The encounter was captured on the officer’s body camera and released by the Lancaster Bureau of Police shortly after the incident took place. Hours after the shooting, protesters gathered outside of the police station. Police said that a group in excess of 100 people gathered on the access ramp on the west side of the station.

The statement said:

“A public address system was used to provide several warnings that if the group did not move from the ramp, that chemical munitions would be deployed. The group failed to follow the instructions and chemical agents were used to disperse the crowd.”

In addition, violent protesters damaged a county vehicle that was parked in front of the police station and glass bottles and rocks were thrown at officers. Doors and windows at the police station were shattered and several arrests were made into the early morning hours.

ATLANTA, GA – On Tuesday, downtown Atlanta saw several groups of people violently protesting the recent officer-involved shooting that took place in Kenosha, Wisconsin. 

According to police, one officer was injured from being sprayed with a chemical agent, several windows were busted out of buildings that were also vandalized, and an Atlanta precinct was damaged.

Police arrested eight people during the unrest. Fox 6 reported that the crowd began gathering around 8 p.m. at Woodruff Park.

In a statement, Atlanta police said:

“This was not a peaceful protest as fireworks were discharged, frozen water bottles and rocks were thrown at police officers.”

They added:

“We were able to quickly gain control of the crowds and were able to make eight arrests.”

People in the crowd were shouting for justice for Jacob Blake as well as for the officers involved in the Wisconsin officer-involved shooting to be fired and arrested. Investigators in Wisconsin are still reviewing the case to see if the shooting was justified or not.

Police said that protesters marched about a mile down the road from the park, some even carrying the crowd control barricades that were initially set up around the park. Demonstrators set off fireworks as the crowd moved through the downtown area.

Some individuals in the crowd took pieces of a dismantled scaffolding and laid them across the street in an effort to build a barricade. Reports show members of the crowd busting out at least one of the windows at the Atlanta Police Department Zone 5 Precinct as well as vandalizing the building with graffiti.

Police said:

“The Zone Five Precinct sustained property damage to include broken windows and graffiti sprayed on the building. One officer was injured from being sprayed with mace.”

Police have not released any other information or if any other injuries occurred.  

Protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin continued for a third straight night. Police said that at least three people were shot during the protests on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Two of those victims died from their injuries.

The third gunshot victim was taken to the hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. Police said that the incident occurred around 11:45 p.m. in the area of 63rd Street and Sheridan Road. The release from the Kenosha Police Department said the names, ages, and cities of residence for the three victims were still being determined.

Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that no one has been apprehended yet, but that he believes at least one person would be taken into custody soon based on video footage police have reviewed. Beth said:

“I feel very confident we’ll have him in a very short time.”

The Kenosha Police Department and the FBI are actively investigating what led to the shootings. Beth reiterated:

“We’ve got a lot of resources that are helping us pull this stuff together.”

A widely shared video on social media shows a man sprinting into a car lot at 63rd Street and Sheridan Road, carrying a long gun. It is unclear if there is more than one shooter. Beth said that people who dress as belonging to a militia have been patrolling Kenosha’s streets the last few nights, but he is unsure if the shooter is a part of such a group. He said:

“They’re a militia. They’re like a vigilante group.”

On Tuesday, Gov. Tony Evers declared a state of emergency as well as increased the numbers of the Wisconsin National Guard to help local authorities.

ABC News reported that the Kenosha County Board of Supervisors sent a letter to the governor on Tuesday requesting additional National Guard as well as other assistance from the federal government. The letter stated:

“We are respectfully requesting that you contact President Trump and solicit at least an additional 2,000 National Guardsmen to supplement our Kenosha law enforcement agencies. In addition, please request President Trump to help Kenosha by enacting additional tools, such as low-interest SBA loans and FEMA funds to help rebuild local businesses hurt by the domestic terrorists.”

Here is another article from Law Enforcement Today about the violent protests in Atlanta:

ATLANTA, GA – Atlanta Police are now investigating the alleged thefts of two semi-automatic patrol rifles taken out of two Georgia Tech Police vehicles before the vehicles were vandalized and torched several weeks ago.

WSBTV-News reported that on May 29, 2020, during protests over the death of George Floyd, Georgia Tech Police were sent to assist in securing the College Football Hall of Fame. Three of their police vehicles were parked in the vicinity of Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse on Marietta Street.

At some point during the protest-turned-riot, a Dodge Charger and a Ford Explorer had the windows smashed out of them before being set ablaze. The third vehicle burst into flames from being parked so close to the other two.

Once Georgia Tech police were able to assess the damage to their vehicles and sift through the ashes to perform an inventory, they found that two of their patrol rifles were unaccounted for.

Police may have caught a break in the case after locating a ticket book belonging to one of the Georgia Tech officers in a Nissan Sentra that was stopped after a pursuit in Cobb County.

At approximately 3:20 a.m., the Nissan was seen speeding away from Cumberland Mall and led officers on a short pursuit. The driver of the vehicle, 25-year-old Kynisha Dean, was arrested.

She was taken to the Cobb County jail on a felony charge of obstruction and misdemeanor charges of fleeing police, loitering, giving false identification and driving without headlights, as The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Although Dean was released on a $1,500 bond the following day, an arrest warrant was drawn up on June 11 for one of the passengers, Christopher Torres. Torres is wanted for the theft of the ticket book located in the Nissan. Investigators are hoping that Torres can help them locate the person responsible for stealing the rifles and destroying the three police vehicles.

First, however, they will need to find him, as he and the other occupants in the vehicle are from Michigan.

Police in Atlanta have had to watch their backs since the Floyd protests began and now are under fire for the death of Rayshard Brooks, who was shot by police after attempting to use a Taser on an Atlanta police officer while resisting arrest for what would have been his second DUI arrest.

Brooks was on parole at the time of his encounter with APD, who found Brooks sleeping in a Wendy’s drive-thru.

Officers were attempting to place Brooks into handcuffs when he began resisting and fighting with officers, at one point taking a Taser from one of the officers. He started running, and turned back towards them, attempting to fire it at officers.

The mainstream media still has not publicly reported that Brooks was on parole and had an extensive rap sheet, continuing to fan the flames of divisiveness and civil disorder across the U.S.

Anyone with information on the stolen rifles is asked to come forward. Tipsters can remain anonymous, and be eligible for rewards of up to $2,000, by contacting Crime Stoppers Atlanta at (404) 577-8477, texting information to 274637 or visiting the Crime Stoppers website.

Here’s more on Brooks, to dig deeper into who he was, and what the mainstream media is saying (and not saying) about him:

So here we are, just days removed from that tragic confrontation between Atlanta police and Rayshard Brooks in a Wendy’s parking lot.

What do we know so far? I guess that depends on where you look.

The mainstream media has done a wonderful job of telling us that the officer who fired the shots that killed Brooks as well as the police chief were essentially forced to resign.

We know that protesters burned down the Wendy’s Restaurant where Brooks fought with officers.

Most importantly, though, we know that media is continuing to focus on one issue: furthering the divide in our country under a false narrative of the police shooting “yet another unarmed black man.”

Those of us in law enforcement are asking the question:

“Why did Mr. Brooks run and fight with the police?”

The answer does not take too long to figure out.

Media Portrays Rayshard Brooks As Loving Father Despite Criminal Charges Of Cruelty To Children, Battery On Family Member, False Imprisonment

Brooks is no stranger to encounters with law enforcement, as at the time of his death, he was on parole. With just a few clicks of a mouse we can see that Brooks has a past that includes several charges related to domestic battery, a 2014 conviction for child endangerment and physical neglect, and a prior DUI.

So, the loving father and family man that the mainstream media is talking about certainly seems to have had another side to him.

We can look a little deeper and see that he had three charges of false imprisonment between March of 2013 through March of 2014. At least one of these charges was related to family offenses. Most recently, Brooks had charges relating to theft.

So now let us go back to the Wendy’s parking lot that fateful night of June 12, 2020 and look at this with ALL of the facts.

Officers find Brooks asleep behind the wheel. Brooks is very evasive with officers who are asking him basic questions, he can’t even tell officers what he was drinking.

Brooks continues to comply until the cuffs are about to go on and at that point, he has to be almost certain that a second DUI arrest while he is on parole will result in a violation of his parole.

The fact that it is his second DUI charge would almost certainly elevate the penalty for that as well.

Now Brooks is fighting with two officers and he gains control of an officer’s Taser. According to the video, the officer who had his Taser out was seemingly trying to gain control of Brooks by using less than lethal force.

Keep in mind there are at least two guns in play because there are two officers on scene.

Next, Brooks seems to panic after he gets the Taser, he begins to run away but then turns and faces the officers and fires the Taser, giving the officer who is closest to Brooks no choice but to use deadly physical force.

Had Brooks just attempted to escape, we would almost certainly be talking about a different outcome.

Without losing sight that a man has died and that it is a tragedy, the truth is, this was not murder.

Rayshard Brooks was the person who escalated the use of force that morning, not the Atlanta Police Department. Their officers, according to the video, were very professional and did not seem to be aggressive at all.

And yet, an officer is fired for taking a life that he almost assuredly did not want to take.

So why hasn’t the mainstream media brought experts in to clearly explain use of force? Good question. Why haven’t they contacted Axon, who manufactures Tasers, so its instructors can educate the general public on the device and what it does? Another good question.

Finally, all the information on Rayshard Brooks was easily accessible and paints him in a much different light. So why does the mainstream media not publish this information and allow its viewers and readers to make up their own minds about what kind of person he was?

That is possibly the best question of all.

The country has been through a lot in 2020. The media should be reporting the facts … all the facts. But since COVID-19 they have created a divisive society and now they have their sights clearly set on making the police Public Enemy Number One.
