Interim chief gives typically obtuse press conference as our strong mayor stands by silent, local media mostly dutifully parrot (I will credit KARE's Chris Hrapsky for digging deeper and sharing the comments of several skeptical neighbors living on the same floor as the apartment where Amir Locke was shot who were puzzled as to why they heard nothing), no body cam footage provided when you know anything that might exonerate them can't find its way into the media's hands for dissemination fast enough...then right after the initial news cycle is over, we hear another side which, shockingly, doesn't line up with the MPD account of what happened. This was what "won" in Minneapolis in 2021 AND a too large portion of this city will be totally fine with it. Well, I'm not. Amir Locke was senselessly MURDERED as a result of the MPD/SWAT bungling their warrant in concert with a past and current culture of fear, "us vs. them" and shooting first, especially when faced with a person of color. Locke's MURDERER should be arrested, tried and held accountable. Statements from MPD should never be initially taken as truthful on their face - surely we'd have learned that from their slant on George Floyd's death, but how many more examples do you need? Haven't there been too many already?
