Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it a Minneapolis Police have shot a black man, Amir Locke, at his residence, while being wrapped under a blanket. (Read More Here).
In the trending video, Minneapolis Police, were seen as they used 'a no-knock warrant' to gain access into Amir Locke's apartment.
The terrified Amir is seen as he wrapped himself in a blanket while the police shot at him multiple times.
At a press conference this evening, Mayor Frey talks about the importance of getting the facts right, then is unable to answer the question: "Why was Amir Locke referred to as a suspect in MPD's press release?"
Amir Locke was asleep on the couch under the covers, when police entered at the crack of dawn. Just waking, hearing a commotion, he grabs a firearm, but does not point it at officers. Police open fire, killing him. Not target of warrant, gun legal.
Police unions have been on a tear, pumping money and intimidation into spineless politicians to roll back even the slightest protections for the community. Biden meeting with Cop-Mayor Adams, to roll back reforms, start the tough-on-crime movement, which never actually stopped.
Information reads:
"Police used a no-knock warrant, opened up and began screaming at dude. At first review, this is looking worse than Breonna Taylor, in that gun was never pointed, no shots fired, they just waste the dude half-asleep on the couch. Remember all the "reforms" we were promised?
"BREAKING: 2 officers on a SWAT team that was caught on body camera video firing at citizens without warning from an unmarked cargo van days after the police killing of George Floyd were also involved in Wednesday's raid that led to Amir Locke's killing."
