Protest over Minnesota police shooting calm but constant

A woman speaks with an officer at a vigil outside Dallas police headquarters in Dallas on Friday. Dayton said Friday that he stood by his statements and had no new information about the case.

Authorities say Johnson had bomb-making materials, ballistic vests, rifles, ammunition, and a personal journal of combat tactics at his home. The two were gunned down 1,200 miles but less than 24 hours apart. The races of the officers who were shot have not been released.

Dayton has emerged from his residence to talk with protesters several times this week.

Officers crouched beside vehicles, armored SWAT team vehicles arrived and a helicopter hovered overhead. Justice for our police officers, our children, and our nation.

“It burns my you-know-what when it’s – usually the black people – that try to make an agenda out of this”, he said.

The fourth suspect exchanged gunfire with police during the standoff at a downtown garage and warned of placing bombs throughout the city. The majority of blacks are not armed and the majority of killers of police officers are white. However, those two charges also were the most frequently dismissed, along with failing to wear a seat belt. It extends through sunset Tuesday, July 12.

“Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star Kim Kardashian, pictured May 23, 2016, posted a blog post about the Black Lives Matter movement. She says he told the officer he had a gun and a permit, but police have not commented on the events that led up to the shooting.

Obama says that “as tough, as hard, as depressing” as has been the loss of lives this week, “we’ve got a foundation to build on”.

After a week when two black men were killed by police and five Dallas police officers were killed by a sniper, SC politicans are urging their constituents to respect both law enforcement and the black community. A day later in Minnesota, another black man was shot dead by an officer. Though she recalled cautioning him to always comply with police, she said she never thought she would lose him. The videos of their shootings and their aftermath, particularly the one shot in real time by Castile’s girlfriend, were unnerving, horrifying.

The investigation into Castile’s shooting is being handled by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which is standard procedure. “We just have a number of questions about how something like this could happen once again”, she said in her NBC interview.

The U.S. Justice Department, which immediately launched a civil rights investigation into the Baton Rouge shooting, said it would monitor Minnesota’s investigation. “Please, officer, don’t tell me that you just did this to him”.

In the three days since the death of 32-year-old school cafeteria supervisor Philando Castile during a traffic stop, demonstrators have remained calm while camped outside of the governor’s mansion in St. Paul, Minn. He died a short time later at a hospital.

Reynolds said Castile was shot while reaching for his wallet.

In the video she streamed on Facebook Live, Reynolds describes being pulled over for what the officer told her was a “busted tail light”.

State investigators identified the officer who shot him as Jeronimo Yanez, a four-year veteran of the St Anthony Police Department.

Shots are fired during a traffic stop in Falcon Heights, Minnesota.

“The video is pretty horrific”, said Gavin Kearney, who in 2003 co-authored a report to the Minnesota Legislature on racial profiling in the state.
