This is one more piece of evidence that almost every major "elite US institution" are fools who should be ignored/replaced....it would be foolish to not also notice the comparatively miniscule attention that other instances of unjust killings receive.

Minneapolis recorded its second-most homicides ever in 2020 — after only 1995, when the city was ignobly dubbed “Murderapolis” in national media. And the trend has continued to escalate in 2021: between January 1 and April 25, the number of homicides increased by 92% compared to the same period in 2020. More than 80% of the shooting victims in 2020 were black.
Defunding local police and charging police and homeowners who have committed no crime is empowering the criminals and creates large scale cruelty to the innocent.the city’s political climate over the past year, which in their view has allowed perpetrators to wreak havoc without consequence. “They feel emboldened and they feel untouchable, in my opinion,” the cop said.

Well, no one was harmed. Slap him on the wrist (not too hard) and release him. Isn't that the way it works now days?philip964 wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 8:25 am https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2021/05/ ... n-custody/
