The protester filming the incident is forced to leap away himself but still manages to film the car is it continues to move.
One person is sent falling to the floor but manages to roll out of the way of the car's encroaching wheels.
Several people can be seen on the hood. One man looses his grip and falls off but others appear to be holding on as the car speeds away.
The clip was shared to Facebook by activist Ethan Ketner with the caption: 'Detroit Police Department just ran straight through a bunch of our protesters.

'Myself and 10-12 others were struck by this reckless driver who somehow has a badge.
'Someone was trapped on the hood and eventually tossed as the officer swerved to throw him off.
'These officers drove into our protest after we walked past their vehicles. They did not need to drive past us for emergency purposes because they had other officers on the other side ready.
'This was a clear act of aggression.
'Multiple people injured because of this officers actions are headed to hospitals.'
