Witnesses said the man was exceeding the speed limit.
The pedestrians then threw plastic water bottles at the truck, prompting the driver — the man in the video wearing an orange jersey with the number 58 on the front — to stop, get out of the truck and approach the pedestrians. Witnesses said he was yelling anti-gay slurs and insults and that he was holding a knife in his right hand.
Others stepped into separate the men, avoiding an all-out fight.
This incident happened at about the same time that Justin Thompson was shot and killed outside the Flamingo Apartments, near the intersection of Reagan and Hall streets, just two blocks away.

It’s hard to watch the traffic and all the drunks.
I’ve had to slow traffic with the hands when the lights are flashing. People are exceeding the 30 mph even with the added lights at the one end . When are the lights to be installed at Reagan and the Springs?
I hate driving down cedar springs. People are always drunk and constantly j walking. Even when doing the speed limit. You have other cars freely stopped in the street making it even harder to drive. The road is beyond narrow. Anyone planning to go on cedar springs BE CAREFUL.
“Eww eww”
If only these were cute guys and naked. This would’ve been a fun video!!!!
They will catch him .
I left Dallas in 2010 and moved back in January. It seems like a completely different city. People running red lights, jaywalking, shootings, robberies… WHERE is all the law enforcement that used to be seemingly everywhere?
