Overview
- THP posted the dashboard-camera video on Jan. 13 to counter viral social media posts alleging a trooper ran over a protester at an anti-ICE event in Memphis.
- The recording shows a man in an orange reflective vest approach the SUV, place his hands on the push bar, lower himself to the roadway, then leave the scene on foot.
- In its statement, THP says the person was not struck or injured and labels the running-over claim false.
- Earlier reports cited a partial cellphone clip that suggested the vehicle hit a protest marshal, a narrative THP says the full dashcam footage contradicts.
- Police reported one arrest at the Memphis demonstration as anti-ICE protests linked to the killing of Renee Nicole Good continued in multiple cities.
