‘No Kings’ demonstrator dies after being shot at Utah protest, police say
Man in custody after Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39, was apparently shot by member of event’s peacekeeping team
As I can interpret, from this horribly written article:
A man (Arturo Gamboa, 24) was seen ducking behind a wall and grabbing a rifle (an AR-15 is how it's named in the story). 2 men in bright vests (peacekeepers. as in..who? It's not clear who they are) confronted Arturo with pistols drawn. Arturo raised his rifle and moved toward the crowd, and the peacekeepers opened fire. They injured Arturo and killed Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39. Arthur was an innocent bystander.
Arturo has been charged with murder for creating the situation that lead to Arthur's death. The peacekeepers remain unidentified.
Thank you. The last bit about the peacekeepers being unidentified may be the last piece of this puzzling article I could not comprehend.
The peacekeepers were, I believe, working with the protest organizers. They have people in bright vests keeping people in the right designated areas, attending to emergencies, or giving armed response when shit goes down.
You have no idea how psyched I am that they are armed. Well, not happy that this is where we've ended up, but about the fact that they're out there ready to defend the people. This isn't the first video I've seen about them jumping into action with this sort of "armed maniac" situation.
Police shoot ‘No Kings’ demonstrator to death at Utah protest.
Edit: Reading comprehension.
Magat terrorist attack leads to innocent bystander being shot and killed.
Fixed it for you.
He wasn't shot by the police. He was shot by a civilian.
As it happens, the world is more complex than your pre-established prejudices you jump to. The police's action was to find and arrest the actual shooter, which is, believe it or not, a good thing.
