The Tennessee Highway Patrol said Tuesday that social media posts have alleged that one of its troopers hit an individual on a Memphis street with a cruiser. But the THP said the claims are "false."

"Have a look for yourself," the agency said amid its release of a dashcam video of the incident.

'My God, this just keeps getting even more ridiculous.'

The clip — time-stamped Sunday just after 5 p.m. — shows a male dressed in an orange vest and carrying what appears to be a walkie-talkie exiting an SUV parked sideways on a street and approaching the oncoming state trooper's vehicle as anti-ICE protesters mingle in the background.

The male raises his arms and blocks the trooper from advancing on the road — as if he were permitted to do so.

What's more, he wags his finger "no" as if he's giving the trooper an order — all while the trooper's cruiser appears to be flashing its lights.

The trooper, as you would expect, is livid and hollers at the male from inside the cruiser: "Move! Get outta my way! Get outta my way! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Get out! Come here!"

But the male not only fails to obey the trooper's commands, he actually holds on to the front of the cruiser and drops the rest of his body down.

Then he pops back up, wags his finger again, and walks back to the SUV.

The THP in response wrote, "We respect and protect the right of people to protest peacefully. That right, however, does not include entering active roadways or placing themselves in danger."

The agency added, "In this case, video clearly shows the individual holding onto the front of the trooper’s vehicle, lying down, then standing right back up afterward and leaving the scene under his own power. At no point does the video show the individual being run over or injured, despite the narratives circulating on social media."

The incident occurred during an “ICE Out for Good” protest by Indivisible Memphis, WSMV-TV reported, following the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis last week.

Blaze News reached out to the THP and inquired if the male who blocked the road has been identified. The license plate on the SUV appears to be from Tennessee, and the plate number is clearly visible in the video. However, the THP on Tuesday didn't immediately respond to Blaze News' inquiry.

But commenters under the THP's Facebook post have been letting their views be known loud and clear; as of Tuesday afternoon, about 1,300 — and counting — comments have rolled in. The following are a few of them.

• "Why is beetle juice in the middle of the road?" one commenter asked. "What a clown!"
• "Imagine thinking you have the authority to tell a cop to stop driving," another user noted.
• "Make batons great again," another commenter quipped.
• "Why wasn't he arrested?" another user inquired. "Nobody should have the right to try and get in front of a police officer to cause disruption or stop their vehicle or put their hands on their car. The more these fools find out [there] are real consequences, they may slow down the instigating and getting in officer[s'] faces. That's not peaceful protest at that point."
• "Protest all you want, but once you start blocking traffic, that’s when the problem starts with the police," another commenter said, adding that "some are looking for their 10 minutes of fame ... is it worth it???"
• "My God, this just keeps getting even more ridiculous," another user observed. "Get out of the road; you can still protest, [but] stop getting in the way of traffic! There could be a medical emergency that somebody is trying to tend to, and you are delaying care which could cost somebody’s life! Stop acting like children! STAY ON THE SIDEWALK!!!"

Following the heartbreaking news of Scott Adams' death on Tuesday, the leftist media wasted no time before slinging mud at the ardent conservative cartoonist and author. However many conservative political figures and commentators came to the "Dilbert" creator's defense just as quickly.

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, for instance, came to Adams' defense, praised his work, and thanked him for standing up for conservative values, even when it wasn't easy.

'Instead he chose courage and died surrounded by the love of tens of millions.'

Trump posted a photo of Adams and himself in the Oval Office. He wrote, "Sadly, the Great Influencer, Scott Adams, has passed away. He was a fantastic guy, who liked and respected me when it wasn’t fashionable to do so. He bravely fought a long battle against a terrible disease. My condolences go out to his family, and all of his many friends and listeners. He will be truly missed. God bless you Scott!"

Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire delivered a poignant message to Adams' detractors.

"To have monsters celebrate your death is not a bad thing. In fact it is a tribute. But to die and have no one either mourn or celebrate, to die and be forgotten, to have left no impact of any kind on the world, to have your existence add up to nothing in the end — that is the greatest horror. And it’s the fate of basically every leftist who gloated over Charlie, and gloats now over Scott. Gloat all you want, you pathetic nothings. We will not return the favor when you die, because we won’t know or care."

Vance paid his respects to Adams on social media: "Scott Adams was a true American original, and a great ally to the President of the United States and the entire administration. My prayers go to Scott and all of you who loved him."

"We lost one of the good ones but we'll never forget him," Vance added.

"Rest in glorious peace, @ScottAdamsSays — you changed more lives and made the world infinitely better. God bless you and thank you for everything you did for me. We will always love you," Fox News comedian and host Greg Gutfeld said.

Mike Cernovich chimed in, "Scott Adams could have kept his mouth shut in 2015, kept those lavish corporate speaking gigs where he'd earn 50-100K per talk, and have died with an extra zero or two in his bank account. Instead he chose courage and died surrounded by the love of tens of millions."

Quote-tweeting Adams' final message, Elon Musk commented, "Even though I knew his death was coming, as he told us it would, I still can’t believe he has died. Rest in peace, good and great man, rest in peace."

Adams' X account posted a two-page "Final Message" mid-morning Tuesday. The statement offers a reflection on his life and work and, significantly, shined a light on his apparent last-minute conversion to Christianity.

"I'm not a believer, but I have to admit the risk-reward calculation for doing so looks attractive. So, here I go," the statement reads in part. "I accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior, and I look forward to spending an eternity with him. The part about me not being a believer should be quickly resolved if I wake up in heaven. I won't need any more convincing than that. And I hope I am still qualified for entry."

Adams died after a prolonged battle with metastatic prostate cancer. He announced his diagnosis last May and suggested in early January that his days were numbered following serious complications, including lower-body paralysis.
