纽约警车冲向示威人群！纽约市长：不怪警察，抗议者不该威胁警察
据外媒报道，当地时间5月30日，美国纽约两辆警车被示威者围堵投掷物品后，突然冲向示威人群。
Footage has emerged of two police cars being swarmed by protesters in New York before they decide to drive through the crowd.
一段拍摄于纽约布鲁克林的视频显示，当时示威者把隔离栏挪到一辆警车前，并向其投掷物品。几秒后，第二辆警车驶来，两辆警车几乎同时冲撞向示威者。
Video that was shot in Brooklyn showed two NYPD cruisers driving into protesters who were pushing against a barricade against a police car and pelting it with objects.
最初，第一辆警车在道路中央静止不动。抗议者随后开始向汽车投掷瓶子、交通锥和一袋袋垃圾。
The first patrol car initially remained stationary in the middle of the road before demonstrators approached. The activists then began pelting the car with bottles, traffic cones and even bags of trash.
第二辆警车随后停在第一辆警车旁边，抗议者立即也围上了这辆警车，但第二辆警车似乎不愿等待，急于驶过人群。
A second NYPD cruiser then pulled alongside the first but appeared to be in a rush to push through the crowds.
然后，在没有任何警告的情况下，第二辆警车突然开始加速，有3名抗议者几乎被该警车碾压，随后，该警车沿着街道继续行驶。
Those gathered swarmed the second patrol car which then, without warning, suddenly began to accelerate. It saw at least three people pushed to the side and almost run over and the police car drove on down the street.
据CNN报道，纽约市市长白思豪（Bill de Blasio）30日晚表示，他看过这段视频后，感到非常“不安”（upsetting）。
他说：
"I wish the officers hadn’t done that."
我希望警察没有这么做。
但他同时为警察的行为作出辩解，称是示威者围堵警车、威胁警察在先。
"Look, I've seen that video, and I’ve obviously heard about a number of other instances — it's inappropriate for protestors to surround a police vehicle and threaten police officers. That's wrong on its face and that hasn't happened in the history of protest in this city," de Blasio said.
白思豪称：“我看过那个视频，我也听说了其他一些事例，抗议者围堵警车，威胁警察，这是不合适的。这事表面上看就不对，本市的抗议历史上也从未发生过这类事件。”
He added that "the video was upsetting, and I wish the officers hadn't done that. But I also understood that they didn't start the situation. The situation was started by a group of protestors converging on a police vehicle, attacking that vehicle, it’s unacceptable."
他补充说，“视频看着让人很不安，我希望警察没有这么做。但我也理解，事由不是他们挑起的，而是一群抗议者围堵攻击警车在先，这是不能接受的。”
白思豪还称，他并不责怪警察做出这种事。
"I’m not going to blame officers who were trying to deal with an absolutely impossible situation." 我不会去怪那些警察，他们遇到的是无法破解的困境。
同时他表示，是示威者做得不对。
"The folks who were converging on that police car did the wrong thing to begin with, and they created an untenable situation. I wish the officers had found a different approach, but let’s begin at the beginning. The protestors in that video did the wrong thing to surround that police car, period."
“那些围堵警车的人一开始就做得不对，是他们让局面变得难办。我希望警察用不同的方法来处理，但我们还是得看事情是怎么发生的。视频里那些示威者围堵警车，这是不对的，就是这样。”
然而，在国外社交媒体上，许多人对视频中警察的暴力行为表达了愤怒和不满。
纽约警察把一辆SUV开进人群里。有可能会死人的，我们还不知道多少人受伤了。没有人可以开着SUV冲向人群，@纽约市长 这些警察应该被绳之于法，而不仅仅是接受内部调查。
网友Archer2.0：可悲的是他本来可以倒车的，但他却选择撞人，激怒人群。 网友JH：这是蓄意谋杀，不是“激怒人群”。
据CNN报道，全美爆发的抗议活动已蔓延至30多个城市，10多个州出动了国民警卫队（National Guard），有16个州的25座城市实施宵禁（curfew）。
