Brian Thompson’s ex-security shocked UnitedHealth CEO was unguarded after company’s Minn. HQ rocked by protests

The Minnesota headquarters of UnitedHealth were rocked by two large protests just months before the CEO of the company’s insurance division was executed in Manhattan Wednesday — as the boss’s former security provider said he was shocked he didn’t have anyone guarding him on his trip to the Big Apple.

Slain UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, was stationed at the company’s headquarters in Minnetonka, Minnesota, where more than 100 demonstrators descended in April and July to protest an alleged “epidemic” of claims denials, The Wall Street Journal reports.
