Video shows the moment a federal agent shot and killed a 37-year-old man in Minneapolis.
The victim was armed and resisting, according to the Department of Homeland Security, and it's unclear what led up to the deadly shooting.

all concur videos do not show what the government is trying to put out. Why are there these distracting posts???
