'Get the f--- out of the way': S.A. driver yells at Black Lives Matter protesters

Video on social media of a man appearing to drive his pickup truck through a group of protesters Saturday in downtown has prompted an investigation by the San Antonio police department.

The video shows Black Lives Matter protesters waiting to cross the street near the intersection of Navarro and Market streets when a man driving a dark-colored Ford pickup with both a Trump 2020 and American flag in the back accelerates toward the group. He had been waiting at a red light as the group approached the intersection.

The driver yelled through his open window for the protesters to "get the f--- out of the way" before speeding off.

No one was injured in the incident.

District 1 City Councilman Roberto Treviño, who serves the downtown area, expressed his distaste at the driver's actions via Twitter on Sunday, describing it as "deplorable behavior" that proves how important it is to raise awareness about the Black Lives Matter movement.
