The protestors were back in full force for the Timberwolves-Grizzlies game on Saturday. But this time, security was ready for anything.
When a woman attempted to jump on the floor from the second row of Target Center during the third quarter, she was immediately trucked by a nearby security guard before being slugged off the floor by more members of the security team.

Later, some closer footage showed that the woman appeared to be hilariously dressed as a ref while trying to make her move onto the court.
this is going to require some further investigation but im pretty sure that’s a whistle and a jersey number. her plan was to pretend to be a ref???? pic.twitter.com/wl8g30pkQF

It appears as though the protestors that have been swarming the Timberwolves games are animal rights activists who have taken issue with the team’s owner, Glen Taylor.
Taylor owns a farm where he recently had to kill a lot of chickens due to an outbreak of bird flu.
Luckily for him, the Timberwolves will now travel back to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies in Game Five. But perhaps the protestors will make the trip as well to get their point across.
