Because he wouldve been pulled from his truck and murdered if not

In Austin, a man drove into a protest against police, ended up shooting someone, turned himself in and was released. Police seem to be very lenient on violence against people who protest them...

They let him go, because the police department is affirming that as long as we try to hold them accountable for their abusive practices and being militarized they will allow terrorists to either kill us or attempt to kill us.

Are you fucking nuts? These people are attacking cars and if you don't keep driving they pull you and beat you.

Because he did nothing wrong by driving on the road. The person in the road was breaking the law. The laws are pretty intuitive, they keep people from getting hit by cars. A tragedy on the other side of the country does little to change this as much as you want to connect them

Protestors shouldn’t block the streets and impede drivers.

he was let go because he stopped for the people in the street, they attacked his truck, tried to gain entrance, so he pulled forward, unfortunately hitting someone, stopped again, they again attacked him and tried to gain entrance, so he drove off to avoid being beaten to death

Same energy with rioters being released immediately????

Funny, I have the same question about the Antifa members arrested multiple times in Portland

You have to drive through rioters, there is no other way. Its self defense. You stay there surrounded at your own peril.
