When a police officer arrived on scene and pulled his gun, allegedly pointing it at someone running away from him, one of the protesters fired an AR-15 style rifle in the officer’s direction. The officer was hit just below the neck and suffered minor injuries. That night, and in the weeks that followed, the FBI and state law enforcement raided activists’ homes and arrested 19 people.

The shooter, Benjamin Song, a 32-year-old former U.S. Marine Corps reservist — who remained at large for 11 days — was charged with three counts of attempted murder.

Benjamin Song is a hero, and did nothing wrong.
