Hey, Megan.
Yeah, I was actually in Minnesota for a different reason on Friday and Saturday morning, and I was in undercover journalism, doing some undercover journalism, and I was there when the shots were fired.
Just absolute coincidence.
So I walked over to the location in what appeared to be like the suburbs of Minnesota, a relatively nice neighborhood.
People need to understand that what's so shocking to me is that this is not like a bad neighborhood.
This is just a suburban place.
And this is before the autonomous zone was formed.
I don't know, about 11, 12 a.m.
I was walking.
We parked our vehicle, got out of our vehicle.
We did have undercover people in the mob.
But what was striking to me is right when I parked my vehicle, as soon as I got out, it's negative 12 degrees, so every part of your skin is completely covered.
They can't identify you.
Immediately, five women who are white began interrogating me and asking me who I am and what my identity is.
I've never experienced anything quite like this.
I actually told them I was press.
And they โ it was almost like they were going to do a citizen's arrest on me unless I identified myself, showed them my ID.
So I told them โ James, forgive me.
Here's my press badge.
These guys are not press.
