"The first video I saw of the Minneapolis shooting was bad enough. Shortly after I saw it, I had the terrible realization that there were multiple people in the clip holding their phones up - another angle was bound to surface. Within minutes, a second video was all over social media, and it was even more horrifying. In another recording, seemingly made by a neighbor, a man approaches to render aid. As armed agents rush toward him with guns, he shouts, "I'm a physician!""
"Much of America has now seen the first few seconds of this video obtained by the Minnesota Reformer. ICE agents lean over a vehicle that is slowly pulling out of the street of what appears to be a residential neighborhood. Three shots ring out. The car accelerates and crashes into a line of parked cars. (You don't need a Bellingcat top-down reconstruction of the event to see that the ICE agents were nowhere in the pathway of the vehicle, but they've made one anyway.)"
Multiple bystander videos captured a prolonged Minneapolis shooting involving ICE agents and a vehicle. Videos show ICE agents leaning over a car as three shots ring out, the car accelerating and crashing into parked cars. Bystanders recorded neighbors attempting to render aid while agents approached with guns, and a man shouted, "I'm a physician!" Sobbing and pleas from nearby people are audible. Ordinary residents risk personal safety to film and preserve these perspectives, producing crucial evidence that contradicts staged or institutional reconstructions. Technology enables rapid dissemination of multiple angles, complicating attempts to control the public narrative.
