Wow, that 5th one is scarily similar to the Reginald Denny incident. I hope the rioters didn't actually kill him.

That was the truck driver that almost ran through a mass of protesters. https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/03/george-floyd-protest-...

Please keep in mind that none of this happens "just because."

As this article says, he was released because he wasn't trying to plow through them on purpose. (Why would he stop if he was?)

Thanks, I updated my comment to reflect that.
