Tensions continued outside of the building, when apparent confusion among officers on the scene initially prevented her from entering a police car with Younger. After an officer realized she wasn’t one of the protesters, “that officer starts chasing after the car and they were having some difficulty leaving because there were about, I’d say 150 people that were at the back of the building at that point, and so of course, all these people are swarming and not wanting the police car to leave,” she recounted. “So we tried to get the car to let us in, but if they had opened the door for me, these protesters would’ve been able to get in,” Neidert continued. “So they were unable to open the door and that car just left. And so then I had these police officers running with me to these other police cars, but for some reason, nobody had the keys to the cars. It was pretty frantic. So we didn’t really have time to wait and figure out who had keys to which car. And so at that point, people have realized that it’s me out there. They started screaming my name and were chasing after us. And so we run into a nearby building and the police officer locks the door behind us.”
