During the George Floyd riots that started in Minneapolis–Saint Paul after the murder of George Floyd, there have been several incidents of vehicles being driven into people at the protests. According to Ari Weil, a terrorism researcher, there have been 104 incidents of vehicles driving into protests between May 27 and September 27, 2020, with two fatalities in that time period. According to law enforcement and terrorism experts some of the incidents were targeted and politically motivated, however the vast majority were incidents involving scared drivers who were surrounded by protesters in their vehicle. Ari Weil alleges that at least 43 of the incidents were malicious and 39 people were charged.[1]
