Car ramming into and injuring up to 25 LA Sheriff recruits is sad, horrendous, dangerous, and hopefully not a trend! If this was an intentional act I would say it is getting close to being considered an impromptu convenience target of terrorism (..of course unless it was planned...which would be even more concerning.). If it was not an intentional act then the situation will need to be reviewed carefully so we protect against other such incidents in the future (i.e. by ensuring greater escort protection, switching to jogging on football fields, etc. policy changes. Personally I think we should be in a safe country and jog anywhere we want without fear of violence. This could be another sign we need people to start working together to solve our problems. Working across the isle solves issues today but solidifies a path forward for everyone to anchor on tomorrow.)
The big questions are why were they hit (intentional or unintentional) and how might that fit (or not fit) with other trends? Its hard to answer that today. We will need to wait and see. ( I guess some of it comes down to if the gas or break pedals were pressed as soon as it was apparent the driver was aware there were recruits. It will depend very much on the witnesses of everyone present and the background of the alleged i.e. what did they post on media, what were their views, what their friends say about them, etc.).
On the surface the video looks intentional, directed, and direct. We will have to see what the case holds.
