Not that is matters much but for factual sake it was not the Minneapolis police, it was the Brooklyn Center Police. They are a suburb about 10 minutes north of mpls.
This is local to me. It happened in Brooklyn Center, right outside of Minneapolis. I couldn't sleep last night watching the live feed outside of the Brooklyn Center police station. There are no words.

I have no words and keep tearing up. So many emotions right now We, as a nation, are a powder keg and this? WTF. Shooting an unarmed black man in the back in broad daylight.
Here is some info:
Although not Minneapolis police, it's a first ring suburb adjacent to North Minneapolis. There is cross over in that area, along with a couple of other suburbs adjacent to North Minneapolis.
Aside from what was happening in Brooklyn Center, there was looting in across areas of Minneapolis last night too.

I am sorry. I'm in South Minneapolis, I understand.
I’m so sad for his family and our community. This is minutes from my old house. I just don’t have words to express my sadness. My H and I got into this morning over this.

It is horrifying. All kinds of gossip in the rumor mill about what happened. I'm anxious for the press conference to start. I am following Andy Mannix on Twitter for it.
I'm terrified for what is to come with the trial and this. Like keyslover, I'm in South Minneapolis, so I empathize with those who live closer to the events in Brooklyn Center. And I am appalled we're again seeing an unarmed Black man dead after a ridiculous traffic stop.

They just showed the video. The officer yelled Taser but used the handgun. So they’re saying it was an accident because the officer meant to use their taser. OMFG

This was the rumor on Facebook--that she's a rookie who mixed up her gun and taser. Horrifying. Don't know if she's really a rookie, but oh my god, it is awful.

I had also heard this last night but was hoping it was false.

Me too. There was also a rumor the officer had died by suicide but that appears to have been false.
