The cop is claiming to be traumatized by being hit with a trash can lid.
He will be fine, but this is why Captain America is trending.
A Minneapolis cop is recovering after he was knocked down to the ground when an apparent looter threw a garbage can lid … hitting the cop squarely in the neck.
The incident went down Wednesday night as people flooded the streets following a false report of a fatal police shooting of a Black man … and just 3 months after George Floyd died there.
Check out the video — which was broadcast on Facebook Live — showing apparent looters making their way inside a Walgreens as a wave of others flood the streets. You see a cop calmly walking back to his patrol unit when, out of nowhere, a garbage can lid strikes him on his neck … knocking him down. He radios for help and a couple cops show up to provide aid.
Captain America was able to escape without being detained.
