Moment an angry father with three jobs took on students who were blocking highway in Ferguson protest
Father-of-six Tyree Landrum was driving to one of his three jobs when he came across a line of Ferguson protesters blocking the road in the middle of the San Diego rush hour.
Furious that the demonstrators might make him late to work and risk him getting fired, he decided to get out of his car on the I-5 in La Jolla to confront the group of students.
He then told a photographer for ABC News 10: 'If I don't get there, I'm going to get fired. I've got six f****** kids to feed.'
Mr Landrum's reaction on Wednesday has since gone viral, and has drummed up support from hundreds on social media.
Meanwhile demonstrations have continued across the country in the wake of the decision by a grand jury not to indict Darren Wilson who shot unarmed teen Michael Brown.

Impeding someones livelihood violates their rights as well and should have resulted in arrests.
I really like the way Gov Christie put it....protest all you want - as soon as you break any law, you will get arrested!
I got 6 kids to feed....he must have just watched total recall.
How can protesters detain people when the constitutional law prohibits cops from unlawful detention. Citizens are no different and the poise a danger to themselves and others when they enter the roadway. Police are probably scared to make arrest after all this media coverage and public protesting. I say police efforts are now being hampered and the lack of action for fear of a law suite could get someone seriously hurt.
This was not a peaceful demonstration when they block traffic.
