New video released by Minneapolis Police Department showed that a 23-year-old man fired first before he was shot and killed by police officers during an attempted traffic stop Wednesday evening.
The footage from the cameras worn by officers appears to confirm the account of the encounter given by authorities amid forceful but peaceful demonstrations and calls for more transparency in the death of Dolal Idd.
Police Chief Medaria Arradondo released the footage at a news conference Thursday in what he called a demonstration of the department’s commitment to transparency. But, he said, while the case is being investigated, the body camera footage showed that officers only fired after being fired upon.
“Clearly, at least from my view of the video … my officers were reacting to that deadly threat, ” Arradondo told reporters. “The investigation will uncover more details, but if the question is should the officers not react in a deadly force situation and knowing that community members’ lives are at stake as well, the officers are trained to protect community members’ lives and their own.” More
If two police officers were not shot first then there was no reason for them to shoot at him. Isn’t that how it works?
Thanks to BLM/Antifa and a fiery summer of “Peaceful Protests” more people think they can get away with shooting at Cops! The outcome is never good!
After reading each name I had to go back to the location to make sure it was this country. Ain’t diversity grand. Sheesh.
I was curious about the perp’s name.
Dolal Idd. What kind of name is that?
Oh. Somalian. Another invader from a shit hole country.
BuhBye Idd. (Add the appropriate last two syllables to his name yourselves)
I remember when Minneapolis was a nice, safe city before the muzzlim hordes conquered it.
Looks like the first shot got the piece of shit. Nice aim.
Two to one is racist!
The poor bastard was looking forward to college. Why didn’t the cops shoot him in the leg. His mom says he’s a good boy. He wudin doon nutin. Nodum sane?
Are you saying that officers who are fired at should NOT return fire?
