He was right to be acquitted, the cops were doing drive by shootings from unmarked vans (using non-lethal bullets but hard to tell when being shot at in the night).

There is no such thing as "non-lethal" bullets. A bean bag round can kill you. The riot control paraphernalia is less-lethal than traditional firearms.

He was acquitted in Minnesota under a very similar fact-pattern of what was happening in Minneapolis during the ICE fiasco: masked men in unmarked cars, often using unlawful force, essentially undifferentiated from thugs, going off and shooting people like goode.

That is what I'm trying to get people to understand.
