A Black Lives Matter protest against police brutality and systemic racism was met with a counter-protest and turned violent when a car drove through the crowd in Yorba Linda on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 26. The driver, a 40-year-old woman described as a Black Lives Matter supporter, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder, authorities said. The BLM march took place on Imperial Highway near Yorba Linda Boulevard, with counter-protesters shouting insults while carrying American flags and Trump 2020 banners gathered along the other side. At one point, the counter-protesters crossed the six-lane highway and confronted the BLM group. Face-to-face, the sides alternately shouted “Black Lives Matter” and “U. S. A. ”As the conflict grew more heated, with reports that some people had weapons, sheriff’s officials declared an unlawful assembly and ordered all protesters to disperse. Moments later, a white sedan in the Yorba Linda Public Library parking lot accelerated through the crowd. At least two people – a man and woman- had major injuries and were transported to a hospital but were expected to survive, authorities said. One man had a bloodied right leg; a bandage was tied on by a piece of cloth with an American flag design. People chased the car, which stopped a few hundred yards away and was surrounded by sheriff’s deputies. It was not immediately clear how fast the sedan was going. The back windshield was broken out and appeared to have a flagpole sticking out of it. The front windshield was smashed. The driver, Tatiana Turner of Long Beach, was attending the protest as a supporter of Caravan for Justice, said Orange County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Carrie Braun. The group, which planned Saturday’s event, campaigns against police violence.
