Amir Locke shooting rekindles mistrust of Minneapolis police

We now have to protect ourselves from criminals and the police in some cases. I will defend myself badge or no badge.

“Locke, it turned out, wasn’t even being sought in the homicide probe.”


It took just nine seconds for those Minneapolis police officers — who’d obtained a no-knock search warrant in a murder investigation — to fire three shots that struck and killed the young man. Locke, it turned out, wasn’t even being sought in the homicide probe.

St. Paul police did not request a 'no-knock' warrant in MPD raid that led to Amir Locke's death

According to law enforcement sources, Minneapolis police insisted on the no-knock warrant.

“MINNEAPOLIS — The search warrant that resulted in the police shooting of Amir Locke was not originally supposed to be a “no-knock” warrant, law enforcement sources tell KARE 11 Investigative Reporter A.J. Lagoe.

St. Paul police originally did not request a no-knock warrant from a judge, but when Minneapolis police were asked to execute the warrant, MPD insisted the warrant be changed to authorize it be executed without first knocking, KARE 11 has learned.”

I'd like to see all the facts before I make a meaningful comment, not just a couple of photos and comments from his family.
