He was out there filming with his neighbors, as lots of people in Minneapolis are doing these days, out there with whistles and cameras and observing what these federal immigration officers are doing.

Everyone that my colleagues have talked to describe him as a good guy, someone who cared for veterans and his patients, someone who was kind to his neighbors and was part of the community where he worked and lived.

They say he's someone who would do something like that, who would help others.

And no one has any sense that he would be the type of person who would have gone out there that day to try and cause chaos or violence or harm.

The crowds I saw were still a wide mix of people.

There were people out there in fancy fur coats that I saw, some people who had just popped out of their houses and were not super dressed, and some people who clearly were prepared in case things escalated.

This was people who were in the neighborhood and showed up.

People were leaning out of their balconies to chant down at agents or observe what was happening.

It was not just...

committed demonstrators at that point.

And I think it speaks to how much the general residents of Minneapolis have in many ways become involved in this response.
