‘Wheelchair-Bound’ Woman Is Sprayed With Fire Extinguisher By Demonstrators Who Say She Was Wielding A Knife To Stop Them From Looting
Following the tragic Monday death of George Floyd, thousands of protesters took the streets in Minneapolis to demand justice for the 47-year-old man. As we previously reported, Floyd was detained on suspicion of forgery and was pinned down to the ground when officer Derek Chauvin placed his knee on Floyd’s neck, cutting off his airway. He eventually lost consciousness and was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

The four cops involved in the incident have been fired. But as many would agree, that is not enough “justice” for Floyd. Angry and frustrated protesters have been demanding for the cops to be arrested and charged. Unfortunately, some protests have even turned violent, with some ending in looting.
One woman who has now gone viral claims
she was peacefully “protesting” to stop people from looting a Target store, but was quickly set stopped. According to The Daily Mail, the woman identified as Jennifer says she punched in the head and sprayed with a fire extinguisher after trying to block protesters. Many reported that she allegedly had a knife on her. While some saw the video as a brutal attack on a disabled woman, others saw Jennifer as the aggressor and the fire extinguisher as an act of self-defense.
The Target clash involving “Jennifer” came on a second night of protests following the tragic killing of George Floyd. Prosecutors say they had called in the FBI to help investigate the case, which could involve a federal felony civil rights violation.

Jennifer, the white lady in a wheelchair that was stabbing people at Target, can actually walk.
This whole thing is theatrics made to paint #BlackLivesMatter in a bad light. https://t.co/lNnLUSoKHb
