AUGUST 26--An Iowa man arrested for allegedly driving his car into a crowd of protesters--several of whom were struck by the vehicle--told cops that the victims needed “an attitude adjustment,” according to a criminal complaint.
Investigators say that Michael Stepanek, 45, was driving his Toyota Camry Friday evening in Iowa City when he got stuck behind other cars “due to a protest in the intersection ahead of him.”
The protest was organized by Iowa Freedom Riders, a group formed earlier this year in response to instances of alleged police brutality.
