And then, of course, sometimes you start seeing some of them over multiple days and some of them doing multiple shifts.

So there I did in some environments just because it was more hostile than no canes.

No canes is known for inflatables.

The Minneapolis protests, I don't know, I swear it had a more sinister feel to it.

And so you're just a little bit more careful.

You stick to very open-ended questions.

You're not trying to...

You just, you don't want anyone to be angry with you because we saw, I think the turning point reporter, she actually got into a scuffle with some people and then she ended up being injured from it.

So you're always aware of that.

But the most surprising things in Minneapolis I heard, oh, one, I'll start with the serious one, then we'll end on the funny one.

But the serious one is really, I realized, it's not just people upset with ICE agents, but this group of people, these protesters on the left, are actually angry, majority of them, at all law enforcement.

And remember, this is the home of the defund the police movement.

It's the home of George Floyd.

And when you just think about, you know, I think about the police officers who were there kind of helping make sure none of the protests went south.

And it's like, well, they are there to protect, you know, protesters and people out there helping them even protect their right to protest.

And just this blatant disrespect.

I had one guy tell me, I think being a police officer is less dangerous than being a pizza delivery guy, which is just absurd.

And it's just the lack of

respect for people who put their lives on the line every single day.

Tim, you and I see it in DC with the lack of respect for the National Guard, which I think ends up translating to then some crazy person feeling that they can take their lives.
