Shooting incidents in the news.

[Nephrology]

Initial reports of a shooting in the Minneapolis area. According to the article below and the girlfriend who posted the video, man shot is a CCW license holder who works for a local school district and has no criminal record.

The girlfriend reports he informed the officer he was armed because he is a CCW license holder and the officer shot him as he was putting his hands up but the officer is heard on video saying the man reached for "it".

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Is MN a mandatory notification state for CCW license holders when stopped by the police?


Aftermath of officer-involved shooting captured on phone video
In video, woman says man shot for 'no reason at all' in Falcon Heights

edit: and no, no duty to inform.

My first thought when I saw this on the news was, "Your boyfriend just got shot and is checking out, cop still has him/you at gunpoint, and the first thing you do is live stream to FaceBook?" WTF?

Preserving evidence.

Initially looks like fear biting, base on very incomplete, aftermath-only video.

Preserving evidence.

What evidence?

I'll be following this one closely. I live *very close* to that part of Falcon Heights. It's a little town fully surrounded by St Paul and the northeast section of Minneapolis, and the site of the State Fairgrounds- unusually for fairgrounds, a pretty safe middle class sort of neighborhood. The University of Minnesota's St Paul Ag Science Campus is right there, too.

It seems pretty much any interaction with the police is suspect with this particular local branch of BLM, though I agree that the circumstances look bad from what I've seen so far.
BLM here in St Paul are power-seeking as their main motive. Everything seems to be about dictating terms.

I see a cop with gun drawn, a dying guy, and a woman taking video. If we had no audio it would be a moving Rorschach test. Did the cop shoot him? Or did the cop respond to a shooting call? Mind you I'm not arguing one way or another on this one. We need a lot more info to make a call.

That's some Raylan Givens style stuff right there.

I would have went with a Longmire reference, Douglas is petty close to Absaroka County. lol

Well, this is interesting. I belong to a FB neighborhood group, and several of the folks on it knew this guy- he supervised their kids' school cafeteria. Several have interacted with him socially.
Yeh, there are a lot of SJW types hereabouts, and more than a few BLM abettors and such, but some decent judges of character, too.
I also hope the officers involved were wearing body cameras.

It's my understanding that body cams have not been issued to that department.

Interesting. What is your neighborhood like, if I may ask? I actually used to live in Minn. for a couple years but never spent much time in the Twin Cities.
