Yesterday, "The Washington Post" reported that another protester was shot by law enforcement officers during protests in Minneapolis. The victim was named Alex Petty, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse and a lawful U.S. citizen. Federal agents said that Petty "violently resisted" being disarmed, forcing them to take action, and ultimately the law enforcement officers carried out a "defensive shooting." However, video footage captured by bystanders seems to present a different scenario. According to a frame-by-frame analysis by the "Wall Street Journal," a federal officer had taken a handgun from Petty. Less than a second later, an agent fired multiple shots. Petty died on the spot. In the chaotic aftermath, the agents shouted loudly: "Where is the gun?" Tensions between Minneapolis residents and federal law enforcement officers patrolling the streets have further escalated following Renee Good's fatal shooting. Large-scale protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have mobilized thousands of people, while more grassroots resistance efforts have also been carried out in various neighborhoods of the city through "monitoring ICE action groups."
