"I'm gonna gas. Get back. Gas is coming. Gas is coming, second warning. Second warning."

Federal agents continued to clash with protesters in Minneapolis yesterday, where U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino threw a gas canister into a crowd of protesters.

In a video taken by ICE investigator Ben Luhmann, Bovino can be seen among a throng of agents exiting their SUVs after being confronted by protesters at an intersection.

As some protesters are forcefully detained and the scene intensifies, Bovino holds up a gas canister. “I’m gonna gas. Get back. Gas is coming. Gas is coming, second warning. Second warning,” Bovino says in the video.

“Gas on film, gas on film!” Luhmann can be heard shouting. He and his brother Sam, both teenagers age 17 and 16 respectively, are known for traveling the country and documenting ICE activity.

Saw a clip of it on TV. ICE was throwing gas, not protected by masks, and it was blowing back on them. Incredibly stupid.
