Yes.

It's having, like, immediate direction.

So that same day, I went to the site where just a week earlier, an ICE officer had shot and killed a Minneapolis resident, Renee Good, in the city's south side.

I'm on the corner of Portland and 35th on one end of the block, and there is a sign on this tree that someone posted.

It says, Visitor Guide.

The block you are entering has become a space of mourning.

Remember, you are a guest in this neighborhood.

Take a deep breath.

Drive slow.

Approach the space with reverence.

Notify neighborhood leaders of suspicious activity.

There's a lot of flowers, a lot of flags, a lot of teddy bears.

There's a bunch of people that have made a fire.

A car just pulled up, like driving down the block, stopped, asked if these people need more firewood for this fire.

And dropped it off.

There were about a dozen people there.

Some people were staying for just a few minutes.

Others were lingering.

Why did you choose to come here today?

I asked the woman who'd brought flowers what she was feeling.
