Seems like Minneapolis is becoming the center of the universe for FAFO.
Leave LEO alone let them do their jobs. If you want to protest, stay on your side of the street and behave. If you don’t like who got elected, vote for the guy you like next time. Maybe so will the majority of the country. Until then, suck it up.

I’m not jumping to conclusions about this specific incident, but all of this could be avoided if federal agents were allowed to do their job. The Minnesota government and police deserve plenty of blame for fostering an environment where these incidents can even happen.

Edit: Watching the video, this looks chaotic and tragic, not clean or simple. Officers appear to be trying to clear people out of the street so a vehicle can leave. Two women remain in close proximity and refuse to disperse. When officers physically move them, a third person steps in, inserts himself into the confrontation, and shoves an officer. At that point he is no longer a bystander but someone interfering with an active law enforcement action.
What happens next is exactly where the dispute lies. Whether he actually reached for his gun is contested and will matter legally. But even before that question, physically intervening in police activity while armed creates an extremely dangerous situation. Lawful carry comes with the responsibility to disengage, not escalate, especially during police operations.
The tragedy here is that a volatile environment, physical interference, and split-second decisions combined in the worst possible way.

I want to see the body cam but from the videos I saw the guy looked like he was face down with LEO on top of him.
If he was resisting and trying to get back up then they had more than enough manpower to secure and arrest him.
If it’s something else, let‘s hear it.
Just heard it being reported that the gun in question was a Sig P320….The one that causes unintentional discharges..
If that’s the case, then is it possible the gun discharged, and everyone panicked?
Here’s an example [video](https://youtu.be/m-jCUT_2H0k) of it happening to an officer.
