Open season: Speeding car slams into NYPD officer, 4 cops shot in St. Louis, many more injured

When the violent Black Lives Matter movement exploded on the scene, following the justified shooting death of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old black man who physically attacked a Ferguson, Mo., police officer, the nation would soon see a number of cops being assassinated.
The difference between now and then is that while the police officer forced to defend himself against a much larger Brown was in the right, according to an investigation by the Eric Holder-led Justice Department, circumstances involving the Minneapolis cop linked to the death of George Floyd are much different.
Late Monday, a New York City police officer was struck by a vehicle in what appears to be a deliberate hit-and-run.
The incident was captured on video, which was shared online. A dark-colored vehicle is seen driving straight at an officer, who had just stepped out of a car with two others. The vehicle appears to accelerate as it nears the officer, who is struck and sent flying in the air.
“That’s a f—ing cop!†a woman is heard saying on the video. “Oh sh–!â€
The injured officer falls to the ground and does not move. The other two people with him, likely other officers, rush to his aide.
