Minneapolis Protest: “Peaceful Observer Don’t Shoot” Vest

On January 23, 2026, thousands marched through downtown Minneapolis to protest the actions of federal agents deployed to the city since December. The frigid temperatures, with windchills reaching -30°F, did not deter participants. Among the crowd, an individual wore a bright yellow vest labeled "PEACEFUL OBSERVER DON'T SHOOT," indicating a role intended to de-escalate tensions and ensure safety during the protest.
