What a wholly inaccurate statement. Sometimes in the course of conducting your lawful duty a LEO has to use deadly force. That does not make them "judge, jury and executioner" and propgating that kind of misinformation is a large part of the current problem.
Quote:It was a 6-hour-long standoff. What happened at hour 6 that caused the sniper to pull the trigger? Did something happen or did he just get bored and decide to end things.
Your second sentence here proves you're not even attempting to discuss this in a serious manner.
Quote:Minneapolis has a long history of hiding the truth about police actions. He was shot last Thursday, surely they know why the sniper pulled the trigger by now
There was a verbal confrontation, it got heated, and things get said. She didn't listen to them, they didn't listen to her. The f-word got thrown around a lot. Each side moved on without violence.
Yeah, except one side was the victim of an attempted murder of her and her children and the other group was people defending the attempted murderer.
Quote:Why was "BLM" blamed for any of this? Just because black people were involved in the protest doesn't mean that organization is involved.
Minneapolis owes an explanation of its actions to their citizens. THAT is what the crowd was demanding.
Is that what they were demanding? Because there's a bunch of statements that police only killed him because he's black, so no, they aren't looking for answers, they already decided why it happened. Also, the guy's adoptive parents flat out lied saying they weren't allowed to speak to their son. There's literal video of them giving the father the loudspeaker to encourage the guy to talk to negotiators.
