He was shot while being dog piled by 6 officers dude. There was no way for him to defend himself when they already had taken his weapon. It was murder. Was he intentionally out there protesting? Yeah, he probably was. Was he filming ICE and giving them verbal hell? Absolutely he was. Was he interfering? He absolutely wasn’t. They just let him get under their skin because they aren’t professional. They murdered him because they got scared that he had a gun. One of the officers was on video saying “I got the gun…” sighing as he stood up.
So yeah, tensions are high. Minnesotans feel violated. ICE sees a battleground, not a state. That’s an issue.
