As hundred of thousands of protesters took to the streets to protest against the unlawful death of George Floyd, caused by police brutality, some Americans have made it clear that they do not agree with the protesters.

However, one man took it to another level to express his displeasure as drove his tanker truck on the westbound lanes of Interstate 35, honking, while the protesters were present on the road. The freeway was closed to traffic at the time.

“Very disturbing actions by a truck driver on I-35W, inciting a crowd of peaceful demonstrators,” the Minneapolis Department of Public Safety said on Twitter. “The truck driver was injured &amp; taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries. He is under arrest. It doesn’t appear any protesters were hit by the truck.”

The tanker driver was dragged&nbsp;out of the cab of his tractor-trailer rig and apparently beaten by the protesters, before being handed over to the local police. The police has not commented on whether the driver was beaten up, but have confirmed him being injured with non-life threatening injuries.

However, pictures show him standing shirtless and trying to hide his face next to the police officers, after he was taken into the custody.

The protests have been sparked all over the country after George&nbsp;Floyd, an unarmed black man, died last Monday after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck.&nbsp;

Tanker truck drives into George Floyd protests in Minneapolis; driver handed over to police

Another night of unrest in every corner of the United States left the country charred and shattered.&nbsp;The death of George Floyd after his arrest on Monday has triggered a tide of protests in the country, unleashing long simmering rage over racial bias in the US criminal justice system.

Some rallies have turned violent as demonstrators blocked traffic, set fires and clashed with riot police, some of whom fired tear gas and plastic bullets in an effort to restore order.

Protests&nbsp;erupted in at least 30 US cities over the death of unarmed black man George Floyd at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The police officer had knelt on his neck until he stopped breathing.

As unrest continued into the early hours of Sunday, at least 25 cities across 16 states -- including Atlanta, Denver, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, San Francisco and Seattle -- have imposed curfews.

Thousands marched peacefully through city streets to protest the death of George Floyd.

Two members of a Reuters TV crew were hit by rubber bullets and injured in Minneapolis on Saturday night when police moved into an area occupied by about 500 protestors in the southwest of the city shortly after the 8 pm curfew.

Footage taken by cameraman Julio-Cesar Chavez showed a police officer aiming directly at him as police fired rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the crowd.

The National Guard was also ordered to back up the city's 10,000 police officers as dozens of fires burned across the city.

President Donald Trump commended the National Guard deployment in Minneapolis, declaring "No games!" and saying police in New York City "must be allowed to do their job!"

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden condemned the violence.

"The act of protesting should never be allowed to overshadow the reason we protest," Biden said in a statement Saturday night.

The National Guard said in a statement on Sunday said 5,000 of its soldiers and airmen had been activated in 15 states and Washington, D.C., but that "state and local law enforcement agencies remain responsible for security."

The Trump administration, to this end, said it would not invoke federal authority over the National Guard for now.
