Tense moments unfolded Tuesday evening outside the Hennepin County Government Center in downtown Minneapolis.
As jury selection began on Tuesday for the Kim Potter trial in the death of Daunte Wright, a protest honoring Wright outside the Hennepin County Government Center was disrupted as a driver forced their car through a crowd.
The protest was organized by Antifa and BLM in Minneapolis, and again, they tried tackling 3800lbs.of steel while standing on the road!
Videos posted to social media show one marcher jumping onto the vehicle and ending up on the roof until the driver slowed near the next intersection. That person was able to safely dismount from the car after being carried down the block. Other marchers pounded on the car’s windows and shouted at the driver before the driver was able to speed away down the bisecting street.

A Minneapolis police spokesperson confirmed they learned of the incident after the fact via videos posted online. As of 6 p.m., no one from the protest had filed a report on the incident.
Police are not working to track down the driver because the protesters did not have a permit to block off the street and thus the driver was not committing a crime by entering the area, Parten said.
The MPD spokesperson adds police were monitoring the protest from a distance and protesters took measures to protect the group from further disruptions.
