I don't think they knew that this is something they could do.

And that so much of it is around the togetherness of it, that we're kind of all in it together.

And I think that can fuel people's courage there.

But I also don't want to minimize the impact of Saturday's killing in particular.

I talked to a volunteer yesterday who used the word demoralized.

And that's certainly understandable and obviously frightening, too.

It takes considerable physical courage to actually go out and do this because it's become so unpredictable what could happen, as we've seen in two weeks, as Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara pointed out on some Sunday shows yesterday.

Let's talk about Alex Preddy and what happened this weekend.

You've seen the video.

Most of us, I would imagine, have seen the video.

What do we know about why Alex Preddy was shot?

Well, he appears to have been recording federal agents with his phone, like has become common.

Everybody's doing it.

And then he seems to try to intervene after a woman was pushed down by a federal agent.

And then he gets into this scuffle with probably a half dozen federal agents.

He is a law-abiding concealed carry permit holder who was armed.

And in this scuffle, they disarm him.

And if you watch the video in very slow motion, you can see he's then shot after he's disarmed, despite the accounts of the federal officials that we heard almost immediately afterward.

The Constitution still!

Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino said Preti was part of a riot.
