I mean, two weeks ago, it was Renee Good, another person trying to observe ice who was shot in the head by an ice agent.
And now it happens again.
So, yeah, people are very upset.
Just sadness and anger.
I mean, I saw a lot of people in tears.
I spoke with people and it just doesn't take long for them to get to a real sense of hopelessness and sadness that somebody who had dedicated his life to helping other people and was, you know, a gun down in the street.
The cooperation is still just not happening.
And so the state's trying to launch their own investigation, but it's very difficult when they don't have access to the evidence like body cam footage or any of the forensics or anything else.
I mean, the integrity of the crime scene has been completely lost, but they were there right in front of a business is where it happened, and they were knocking on the door to see if anybody inside had any information.
There was a man being interviewed on TV, and one of the investigators asked to speak with him afterwards and had the guy walk over and point where he
had seen blood on the day of the shooting.
There were flowers all over, but they were still trying to get a few photographs to see whether there was any markings of what had happened.
I think they were probably looking for bullet casings too, but there just was nothing.
It was all covered in flowers and memorials at this point.
Probably 300 people on the street corner, you know, just yelling, F ICE, ICE out.
Spoke with, you know, some of those people who had protested Friday and thought, you know, maybe they'd have the weekend off, but then ended up protesting again on Saturday and again, again on Sunday.
He had on a placard over his chest saying, you know, peaceful observer, do not shoot.
And, you know, he's like a sort of typical Minnesota guy.
He wants everybody to know that we're, you know, we're regular people.
Nobody's getting paid to be here.
