A mostly peaceful protest against police violence and systematic racism turned violent Sunday night when a police SUV plowed through a group of protestors.

A viral video of the incident showed the vehicle violently hitting multiple people and it continued to drive even as protestors were still on the hood.

Protestors in Detroit join protestors around the world speaking out against police violence, particularly after the deaths of people like George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Tony McDade.

Another similar incident of a police vehicle plowing through protestors occurred in New York City.

Despite all this, the mayor defended the NYPD saying, “It is inappropriate for protestors to surround a police vehicle and threaten police officers.
