This demonstration followed the recent shooting deaths of Minnesota residents Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal agents — incidents that have drawn national attention and sparked debate.

I spoke with locals about why they joined the protest.

"The nurse who was killed in Minnesota — it struck home. As veterans, we rely on people like him, and it's painful to see something like this happen," Tom Gutcherie said.

"I've seen the video evidence that's been shared. For me, it raises serious concerns about the actions being taken and the need for accountability," Jessica Clark said.

Demonstrators told me they believe it's more important than ever to make their voices heard and say they'll keep showing up until they see change.
