Minnesota is going to burn again

[Sum1]

We heading for a police state.

I just wish when the blacks riot instead of destroying and looting buisnesses of hard working up standing members of the community they would target the real problem. Crooked cops, judges and politicians. Burn there shit down. They’d actually get the support of the people and the crooked cops, politicians and crooked judges would fix the problems at the drop of a hat.

Seems to be alot of blame going on to the officers serving our cities, and in this case a warrant. I do not know what all it entails, but I am GUESSING a warrant has to be signed/given by a judge? Which gets handed down to city, county, state, federal officials in law enforcement who then give the officers orders to carry out the warrant? Which certainly puts officers in some very tough circumstances, with having to make split second decisions. With todays advanced technology, I would think more surveillance for some of these things would be better. But then again, if there is substantial proof there is a murderer hiding out, how do you not go in and get this person before someone else gets hurt? Certainly arguments to both sides. I feel sorry for the officer and his family as more likely than not they are suffering as well as the deceased family. Bad deal....

The people are mad at the police for killing an "innocent" man. Just how innocent was he? Did he have papers for that gun he was sleeping with? Magic 8 ball says highly unlikely it was probably hot or a ghost gun. Is it good character to hang out with a man wanted for murder? Wonder what the poor victims criminal record looks like. Scumbag criminals tend to congregate with fellow scumbags. Lookin like this was a case of preventative maintenance on the police departments side.

cops caught the perp they were looking for in a little town in south east minnesota,short chase ensued,bad guy,murder suspect name is "speed" 17 years old,no mention if dead guy's gun was registerd,but dead guy had legal carry permit,further cops found a large amount of pot in speeds apt not that it means anything.

Snowflakes protested outside the governors mansion yesterday,nothing bad happened in the city to date,protestors looked like a bunch of white youngens under 25 years old,no jobs,school must be out? or closed.Family of dead guy has a lawsuit goin already,they're ambulance chaser lawyer is already twisting this to his advantage for the big ghetto loto win,f---ing clown is always at the fore front of these tragedies,like al sharpton a agitator.More to come.

Let em burn. Wind is usually from the southwest or northwest so smoke will blow to the east, not our problem. They ask for it now deal with it .........LB

In this case I would blame the system, not the officers. The no knock warrant, and training procedures are to blame.

What is this gun registration you are all talking about?

What is this gun registration you are all talking about?

The hand gun that this dead guy pointed at the officers as they entered this apartment.

 

[Ragnar]

Just pointing out that the kid had CC and there is no such thing as gun registration.

Why did the ultra liberal Minneapolis city council not already try to ban no knock warrants after the riots and the Brianna Taylor incident?????? I agree some of the no knock warrants are unnecessary, but they are not infringing on your rights. If they have a warrant from a judge it is for a good reason. Maybe they should limit when these warrants can be used instead of outright banning them. I want the cops to take these people off the streets in the safest way possible.

Also why did this kid live and associate with such a bad person? He put himself in that situation associating with those people. Also why did he have a gun on him? Is he a staunch 2nd amendment NRA member? Or was he dealing in some sketchy business that he thought he would need that kind of protection on himself? If someone broke in to my house I’d go for my gun but if they were yelling police and wearing riot gear I would be dropping my weapon instantly. Do intruders break into houses faking to be the police? Not sure but I’m not getting shot if I don’t have to.

Not so fast. Perhaps the evidence presented to the judge wasn't exactly factual...ie the Steele dossier...no idea... just bringing it up for conversation that maybe, just maybe, items brought before a judge for warrants etc are not always what they seem and may tilt toward Law Enforcement.

Well if we can believe the media,the kids family claims he was a good kid (ain't they all) he was a delivery driver and armed himself because of all the crime/car jackings in mpls,we shall see how this plays out.

Whatever the case I suspect a multi million $$ ghetto jack pot for this family....sad when our cops get whacked,family get's the hoop and a flag.Today the media quit calling the homicide warrant now it's a bench warrant...this "speed pos
' has a lengthy rap sheet,and now two counts of murder.

FWIW, It takes about 30 seconds to run a background check for court records . There are no records that Amir Locke was ever charged for or acquitted of a crime in MN. I didn't run a check on "Speed" .

 

[westwolfone]

Apparently his cousin was the one they were looking for.

 

[guywhofishes]

well isn't that an interesting coincidence - what are the chances

 

[Davy Crockett]

Right, Mekhi Speed , the accused who is in custody but still 17 so there would be no court records.

I haven’t seen or read a single thing yet to justify what happened to this guy. I fully admit I don’t have all the pieces of the puzzle, but as of now I’d say these cops (or whoever was directing them) f’d up bad. Just my honest opinion, to which I am entitled…(or at least used to be a few years ago before the world went crazy).

I’m not saying cops are bad or that they aren’t being handicapped from doing their jobs well these days. I’m also not saying the guy who got shot was or was not a fine upstanding citizen. I’m just saying that so far, I can only conclude that the cops in this particular situation f’d up, possibly because they were put in this situation by a broken system.

Hopefully some new info comes to light to make me think otherwise.

What happened to the good ol' days of "stop, or I'll shoot" kind of law enforcement?

I think no-knock warrants have a place in law enforcement, at least they had to present something to the courts in order to go after someone. Much unlike checkpoints. I don't like checkpoints at all, talk about something reminiscent of regimes we usually try to do away with in other countries! Same as I don't like being asked by a LEO when pulled over for something like speeding (it happens every few years) where I am going. Unless the frigging road ahead is closed, or I tell them I am lost, it is absolutely none of their damn business if I am going home, to the grocery store, or a bar.

MINNEAPOLIS – Documents show authorities searching the Minneapolis apartment where Amir Locke was killed by a SWAT team member said they believed a no-knock search warrant was necessary to protect the public and officers investigating a violent homicide. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The applications for the search warrants carried out at the apartment complex on Feb. 2 were made public in redacted form Thursday. In them, police said it was necessary to conduct the searches unannounced because the suspects had a history of violence. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Locke was not named in the warrants. The police killing of Locke, a 22-year-old Black man, has sparked a reexamination of the use of no-knock warrants and calls for a statewide ban. [/FONT]

 

[westwolfone]

The problem is the police have a history on lying to get a warrant on the front end and then lying on the back end when they testify in court.
