據外媒報導，當地時間5月30日，美國紐約兩輛警車被示威者圍堵投擲物品後，突然衝向示威人群。
Footage has emerged of two police cars being swarmed by protesters in New York before they decide to drive through the crowd.
一段拍攝於紐約布魯克林的視頻顯示，當時示威者把隔離欄挪到一輛警車前，並向其投擲物品。幾秒後，第二輛警車駛來，兩輛警車幾乎同時衝撞向示威者。
Video that was shot in Brooklyn showed two NYPD cruisers driving into protesters who were pushing against a barricade against a police car and pelting it with objects.
最初，第一輛警車在道路中央靜止不動。抗議者隨後開始向汽車投擲瓶子、交通錐和一袋袋垃圾。
The first patrol car initially remained stationary in the middle of the road before demonstrators approached. The activists then began pelting the car with bottles, traffic cones and even bags of trash.
第二輛警車隨後停在第一輛警車旁邊，抗議者立即也圍上了這輛警車，但第二輛警車似乎不願等待，急於駛過人群。
A second NYPD cruiser then pulled alongside the first but appeared to be in a rush to push through the crowds.
然後，在沒有任何警告的情況下，第二輛警車突然開始加速，有3名抗議者幾乎被該警車碾壓，隨後，該警車沿著街道繼續行駛。
Those gathered swarmed the second patrol car which then, without warning, suddenly began to accelerate. It saw at least three people pushed to the side and almost run over and the police car drove on down the street.
據CNN報導，紐約市市長白思豪 （Bill de Blasio）30日晚表示，他看過這段視頻後，感到非常「不安」 （upsetting）。
他說：
"I wish the officers hadn’t done that." 我希望警察沒有這麼做。
但他同時為警察的行為作出辯解，稱是示威者圍堵警車、威脅警察在先。
"Look, I've seen that video, and I』ve obviously heard about a number of other instances — it's inappropriate for protestors to surround a police vehicle and threaten police officers. That's wrong on its face and that hasn't happened in the history of protest in this city," de Blasio said. 白思豪稱：「我看過那個視頻，我也聽說了其他一些事例，抗議者圍堵警車，威脅警察，這是不合適的。這事表面上看就不對，本市的抗議歷史上也從未發生過這類事件。」 He added that "the video was upsetting, and I wish the officers hadn't done that. But I also understood that they didn't start the situation. The situation was started by a group of protestors converging on a police vehicle, attacking that vehicle, it’s unacceptable." 他補充說，「視頻看著讓人很不安，我希望警察沒有這麼做。但我也理解，事由不是他們挑起的，而是一群抗議者圍堵攻擊警車在先，這是不能接受的。」
白思豪還稱，他並不責怪警察做出這種事。
"I’m not going to blame officers who were trying to deal with an absolutely impossible situation." 我不會去怪那些警察，他們遇到的是無法破解的困境。
同時他表示，是示威者做得不對。
"The folks who were converging on that police car did the wrong thing to begin with, and they created an untenable situation. I wish the officers had found a different approach, but let’s begin at the beginning. The protestors in that video did the wrong thing to surround that police car, period. " 「那些圍堵警車的人一開始就做得不對，是他們讓局面變得難辦。我希望警察用不同的方法來處理，但我們還是得看事情是怎麼發生的。 視頻裡那些示威者圍堵警車，這是不對的，就是這樣。 」
然而，在國外社交媒體上，許多人對視頻中警察的暴力行為表達了憤怒和不滿。
紐約警察把一輛SUV開進人群裡。有可能會死人的，我們還不知道多少人受傷了。沒有人可以開著SUV衝向人群，@紐約市長 這些警察應該被繩之於法，而不僅僅是接受內部調查。
網友Archer2.0：可悲的是他本來可以倒車的，但他卻選擇撞人，激怒人群。 網友JH：這是蓄意謀殺，不是「激怒人群」。
據CNN報導，全美爆發的抗議活動已蔓延至30多個城市，10多個州出動了國民警衛隊 （National Guard），有16個州的25座城市實施宵禁 （curfew）。
