“St. Louis police took a man into custody on Wednesday for driving his minivan into a group of protesters and then waving a handgun at them.
According to the St. Louis Dispatch, activists were preparing for a “die-in” demonstration, which includes lying in the street, in Maryland Plaza at around 8 p.m. to protest the decision not to charge the officer whose illegal use of a chokehold resulted in the death of Eric Garner.
“As they did, a man driving a Town and Country minivan drove through the intersection and accelerated through the crowd,” the paper reported. “One woman was seen crouching on the hood of the minivan as the van continued forward. She fell off as the vehicle rounded a curve.”
After a short chase, protesters were able to stop the driver. In photos taken by the Post-Dispatch‘s David Carson, a male white driver in his 50s can be seen brandishing a semiautomatic handgun. Reports said that protesters broke the man’s window at one point.”* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Thank you for allowing free speech. Someone in the passenger seat holding an air pistol was in the car when a driver might have purposely or not contacted four people. It was four people on a die in. I’ve seen die ins in Oakland and the financial of San Francisco. When Bush declared war the economy shut down. I believe the driver. Especially since you somehow can’t tell the difference between British and American steering wheels.
