In Missouri, There was an SUV that was stuck in the front of a BLM Protest that was blocking the highway and she spoke to an officer and then shortly afterwards pushed her way thru the crowd. No one was injured, but her SUV did suffer $5k damage, and 2 protestors were charged with damaging her SUV. This is just the first one that I've heard that's recently pushed their way thru the crowd, but there have been many protests blocking highways recently.

What I don't get is why the Police are not removing the protestors asap? Are they trying to avoid a confrontation?

I think it is stupid to block any road while protesting.
