Minneapolis police shot and killed a man they say opened fire on officers Wednesday night during a traffic stop — the first police-involved shooting in the city since the death of George Floyd on May 25.
In a press conference Wednesday night, Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said that officers who handle search warrants and drug investigations pulled the driver over because they believed he committed a crime, but Arradondo said he did not know specifics about what the alleged crime was. Police said the man fired first and that they will release body camera footage of the incident on Thursday. No officers were reported injured. They did not reveal the race or identity of the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene, or of the officers involved in the shooting. A woman was also in the car with the man during the shooting, but she was not injured.
A crowd of protesters gathered on Wednesday night after the shooting. Police Chief Arradondo asked protesters to remain peaceful, saying Minneapolis police would respect their right to demonstrate as the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension takes over the investigation, but that “we cannot allow for destructive criminal behavior."
This headline! It screams, police went 7 whole months without killing a black man!
The police lie. I do not believe a word they say.
Sure can release the body cams when they believe they are “right” but somehow they take 7 months otherwise.

'Man Dies After Medical Incident During Police Interaction': How police originally described George Floyd's deathBefore video footage of George Floyd's death began circulating on the internet last May, an original statement by the Minneapolis Police Police painted a very different picture of the fatal incident. 😒 🗿 I think there should be an investigation into who wrote this (or was told to write it), and why they were misrepresenting the facts in the police departments favor!!
