Other such articles state that the ICE gunman had a previous altercation with a moving vehicle, allowing himself to be dragged, necessitating stitches.
Being dragged is a hazard of police work. Several Detroit area officers have been dragged in recent years. One Michigan State Trooper was dragged to death, in a freak accident: he was riding his motorcycle, and, somehow, because entangled in a trailer being pulled by another vehicle. He was dragged over four miles, and died of his injuries. In this case, the driver was acquitted as he had not intended to injure the officer, but was simply unaware that the officer had become entangled with his trailer.
But, in the Minneapolis case, it seemed the media was using the officer's previous dragging incident as an excuse for him being quick to shoot.
