Sure, the article is not the clearest, but the "violently resisted" quote is taken verbatim from the DHS tweet.

OK, I'll do the work to follow up for you.
https://abc7ny.com/post/minneapolis-shooting-today-federal-a... attributes the quote to DHS
https://www.tpr.org/news/2026-01-24/man-shot-dead-by-federal... says it came from a DHS statement.
https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/live-updates/reported-shoo... -minneapolis-federal-agents-protesters/ is, I think, the article you say suggests O'Hara said this, but I believe it was originally incorrect and updated since then
https://x.com/Sec_Noem/status/2015202988923711951 is the tweet from the government using the direct wording
Also, to be obviously, the statement you attributed to O'Hara is inconsistent with what he would say given his role.
While I totally appreciate that you don't like people using emotional verbiage or making false conclusions biased by their own beliefs, the reality here is that basically no objective independent observer would say that the government's statements are true and accurate. And I also think that careful analysis of the videos by that same observer would conclude the agents made an egregious error in the heat of the moment. Constantly doubling down about how you're the rational one, when there is ample evidence otherwise simply weakens your own position and makes people less likely to bother reading what you have to say.
You spend more time posting excuses to not read than it would take to read. You don't deserve a pardon for not clicking on a link...
