Protests have spread across the United States after a black man, George Floyd, died from overpowering white police, and New York police vehicles were caught pushing and demonstrating protesters.

Foreign media, such as the US CNN on the 31st of last month, reported that a police car had pushed out surrounding citizens during a protest in the middle of New York's city center the previous day.

Watching the video released by the local media, protesters are shouting at two police cars throwing garbage and empty buckets. Some citizens are hiding behind small walls of defense, but most are bare.

However, a police car speeds up and rushes towards a defenseless protester. Citizens who were blocking the front of the vehicle hurriedly avoided on both sides and knocked on the police car as if protesting. At the same time, the police car next to it hits the barriers hit by the protesters. Sudden shock makes people distant beyond the protesters.
As the video spread on social media, citizens' antipathy toward the police increased. It was a protest originally caused by the police's reckless abuse of power, but there is still no sign of improvement.

New York mayor Bill De Blagio said, "I watched the video and I was upset. I wish the police hadn't." However, Mayor Blagio emphasized, "It is clear that the protesters who surrounded the police car caused this situation. The demonstrators' behavior was unacceptable." I understand the police's choice. I don't blame them. "
American politicians' positions on the case were also mixed. "We are sympathetic to the protesters' message, but we cannot build trust by breaking social order," said Brooke District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.

On the other hand, New York regional lawmaker Alexandre Cortes supported the protests, saying, "The remarks of Mayor Blagio are unacceptable." "Controlling the New York police depends on the leadership of the mayor. As a mayor, it is wrong to defend the police who drive the vehicle in the middle of the citizens," Cortes said.
