It began Saturday afternoon as a grim, if familiar, ritual. Dozens of protesters gathered outside the south Minneapolis apartment building where police fatally shot a Black man two days earlier. His name was Andrew Tekle Sundberg; his family said he was having a mental health crisis that led to an overnight standoff with officers, and activists wanted to know why the police could not have taken him in alive. "We're here to respect life, demand justice, and we're demanding the release of the body cam footage," Trahern Crews, a lead organizer for Black Lives Matter Minnesota, said through a bullhorn.

Next time send in the protesters to arrest him. If they get shot, then the police will have probable cause.

who informed the police about the mans mental condition? If the man had mental problems, why were the police called. Why not the social worker. The people hired to avoid this from happening. where were they.

You have to watch crimewatchmpls to see what's going on in this cesspool..
Lots of info on this story. E.g. The Pohlad Foundation (owners of the minnesota twins) have announced after this incident they are contributing 1.25 million for a tech system that will report even FURTHER on the bad cops.. good to see they and soros and the RedStar and NYC Carpetbagger Frey are on the same page

And they didn't peacefully burn the place to the ground. In Minny I guess that's progress.

Interesting side note to the depth and breadth of the Lefty network in urban America. A year ago, the Salt Lake City School District reached all the way to the Minneapolis to find their new Superintendent -- a black man. (SLC is run by a gay mafia. They have a publicly funded collection of St. George murals.) A year later he is in the paper this week for being suspended from duties for cause.

Some advice for the MPD, the next time a Black person is shooting at people, call Mr. Crews to come and deal with it.

The police ask this question everyday. Why didn't you follow my directions when asked?

Why the police respond to any problem in a black community is a mystery. They get no respect and the blacks are nothing more than useful idiots. Every day in these same black communities blacks are killing each other, every week in these black communities a child is murdered. Any protests, didn't think so. The democratic plantations will never change. Got it.

Let's play "Twenty Questions."
First Question: Do you live in Minneapolis? If "yes," then go to Question 2. If "no," game over.
Second Question: Are you white? If "yes," move out as soon as possible and game over. If "no," then game over for you, too, because you probably can't count any higher.

The same jackasses who were there to "respect life" no doubt participate in pro abortion marches as well.

50 cops for 6 hours, an entire neighborhood evacuated, streets shut down, no one able to get to work/school...many of those evacuated without even the clothes or money to stay elsewhere, go about their lives, while a "Crazy Person" is firing guns randomly.
Cops had only 2 choices, say "Times Up, take him down"..or...leave and say "Call us when it's over"
This is yet another case of "Pick a better Martyr", this guy ain't worth it.
Crump etal KNOW that, every time, yet still show up because there is Rabble to Raise! Rubble to create! Fame Beckons!

Mentally ill or not, sometimes violent criminals need to be shot and that is the only available solution. It sounds like this was one of those times.
