Protesters in Tampa went full-on Grand Theft Auto Last weekend. Attacking an armored vehicle, stealing a police horse. Even a police boat. Have a look:

Unfortunately this video ends before we find out what happens next. (Caution – language)

I hope the horse is ok.  In this video, the Tampa protesters actually took the SWAT truck. That’ll get you 4 stars on GTA.

There was also a video on Tik Tok of someone stealing a police boat and smashing it into another boat. That video must have been removed. Yet the horse video is still up. ?????

People out here like it’s a video game.  Which explains the curfew:
