Depends. Are you one of the protestors?

No, I'm a motor vehicle operator. Cars can run into such troubles just as well as big trucks. I don't want to do something that could send me to jail for many years. By the same token, I don't want to be killed or threatened by idiots on the ground outside my vehicle.

Here are a few video links regarding various vehicle drivers who've encountered idiots on the ground (the roadways):

Stupid people on the roadways obstructing traffic on purpose and/or threatening drivers seems to be a new "hot fashion" these days like "mass shootings". Do truck driving schools these days even address this issue for driver training? Does your employer address issues as this? This poor James Alex Fields man may die in prison of old age. He claimed that a protestor pointed a gun at him and others were beating on his car with objects as the reason he panicked and speed off killing a woman in a crowd ahead. This is a very sensitive issue. In all seriousness, drivers (car and commercial alike) really need to know what to do in case they should encounter such stupidity on the road. Truck drivers can't always control what happens around them: they can't control the actions of others: they can only smartly or prudently react. Isn't funny that protestors don't seem to be standing on RR tracks to "stop trains".
