Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)- Protesters blocked the street in the central west end of St. Louis.
They surrounded a minivan containing a single white male, and jumped on the hood. The driver of mini-van took evasive action, spilling the hood jumper into the street.
He drew a firearm while apparently calling police. One of the protesters claimed that the man struck one of the people who were blocking the street, and called the police. There were no reports of an ambulance called to the area.

Notice that the person in the street is the man who was on the hood of the minivan. It appears that the back window of the van has been broken.

Notice the cell phone, finger off the trigger, pistol not pointing at anyone, and the alert condition of the driver. He appears to know what he is doing.
Only days ago, people banged on a car, and attacked the driver of the car with hammers, killing him.
