First, let’s take a look at what Winston Smith of George Orwell’s 1984 has been listening to lately. Smith's death led to protests in Minneapolis' Uptown neighborhood, including one in which a woman was killed when a man who was visibly intoxicated drove into a crowd of protesters.Here at the Adroit Blog, we ask the hard-hitting questions – what would a classic novel look like through the lens of the protagonist’s iPod? Which characters would have perfectly organized playlists and album art for every song, and which characters download all their music from low quality YouTube-to-mp3 converters? Do they go to small punk shows in bicycle repair shop basements, or do they have front row tickets to One Direction’s arena concert? Through complex calculations and computerized algorithms (or, our wild imaginations), Adroit has all of these answers ready for you.

Jaylani Hussein, the executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations and an activist against police violence, said he's not surprised. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office said Smith was shot multiple times. Another pulled a handgun and began firing. That task force member then fired at Smith. He was told to stop reaching and recoiled into the driver's seat when a task force member yelled "don't do it," then "gun, gun, gun," Ryan wrote. Ryan said Smith then dropped his phone, twisted his body and leaned into the back seat. Ryan said Smith didn't comply for "several minutes." As law enforcement began to break a window, Smith looked at them "with a look of annoyance/disgust on his face." ![]() Ryan said the task force used lights and sirens as they boxed in the SUV, wore clearly marked tactical vests and gave numerous commands for Smith to keep his hands visible as he did something with his phone. Marshals Service said at the time that he didn't comply and "produced a handgun resulting in task force members firing." Paul, was in a parked SUV when he was shot. "Once an individual initiates a deadly force confrontation, a law enforcement officer does not have to wait to be shot/shot at before reacting."
