Rumors said cop shot a teen. It was the other way around
Rumors said cop shot a teen. It was the other way around WorldViralMedia 25 Views • 6 years ago

A Minnesota police officer could have shot an armed teen early, and though the officer would've been completely justified, he held his fire, St. Cloud Police Chief Blair Anderson said.
The officer was shot during a struggle, Anderson said, but neither he nor his partner shot back and the suspect was arrested.
Following the incident, residents on the south side of the city heard via social media that police shot two black men, and about 100 marchers damaged property on their way to the police station, Anderson said at a news conference. He was joined by an NAACP official, a local pastor and the mayor.
"We had information that when they arrived here their intent was to damage property and take over our police station. That didn't happen," the chief said. "It is abhorrent to me. ... This place could've been on fire over a lie -- not just some misinformation, not just a few facts here and there. It was flat-out untrue."
The incident came just three weeks after police in Minneapolis, about an hour's drive southeast, killed George Floyd, setting off nationwide protests.
Pastor James Alberts of Higher Ground Church of God and Christ in St. Cloud appeared alongside Anderson to say the anger over Floyd's killing -- and the long-raging "pandemic" of racism -- is justified, but the St. Cloud police showed that "it is possible to police and not kill."
"The community is rightfully concerned, but there's no one dead here today. We're thankful that no one has died," he said.

Sheriff’s Office: Robbinsdale officer justified in shooting
Sheriff’s Office: Robbinsdale officer justified in shooting WorldViralMedia 24 Views • 6 years ago

Hennepin County investigators have cleared a Robbinsdale police officer who shot and injured a woman armed with a knife April 16. It was a case in which some residents said too much force was used.

A bystander used a cell phone to record the aftermath of the officer-involved shooting in the 3700 block of Hubbard Avenue. A Hennepin County Sheriff's Office investigation says Sgt. Thomas Rothfork acted appropriately when he shot 18-year-old Tania Harris. Rothfork is a 20-year police veteran.

Police also released still pictures taken from a squad car's video camera. The first picture shows a woman brushing past the officer. Police say she was fleeing a woman who had just come out of the apartment building yelling threats and carrying a knife. The second picture shows Harris a few feet from the officer still holding the knife, even though police say she had been told to drop it.

When Harris got within five to 10 feet of the officer, Sgt. Rothfork fired twice, hitting Harris in the abdomen. Police say it all happened in a matter of five to six seconds.

Harris survived her injuries and was charged with 2nd-degree assault. A trial date is set for Sept. 21.

Hennepin County authorities said the shooting was justified under state law, which allows officers to use deadly force to protect the officer or someone else from death or great bodily harm.

LIVE: Jury Selection Resumes in Derek Chauvin Murder Trial Over George Floyd Death
LIVE: Jury Selection Resumes in Derek Chauvin Murder Trial Over George Floyd Death WorldViralMedia 35 Views • 6 years ago

(Mar. 16) Watch live as potential jurors in Derek Chauvin’s murder trial return Tuesday, March 16, to continue a selection process in the former Minneapolis police officer's trial over the death of George Floyd. Five jurors have been seated after just two days of screening by attorneys and the Hennepin County judge, Peter Cahill, who had set aside at least three weeks to fill the panel.

An attorney for a former Minneapolis police officer charged in George Floyd's death asked the judge Monday to delay the trial, saying the announcement of a $27 million settlement for Floyd's family could make a fair trial impossible.

Defense attorney Eric Nelson also raised the possibility of renewing his previously unsuccessful motion to move Derek Chauvin's trial to another city.

"I am gravely concerned with the news that broke on Friday," Nelson said, adding that the announcement "has incredible potential to taint the jury pool."

Mayor Jacob Frey deferred questions about the timing of the settlement to City Attorney Jim Rowader, who declined to comment.

Representatives for both said they were following the judge's guidance to not comment on the criminal proceedings.

Prosecutor Steve Schleicher said the state had no control over Frey and the City Council, who announced Friday that Minneapolis had agreed to the settlement that Floyd family attorney Ben Crump called the largest pretrial settlement ever for a civil rights claim.

Absent a delay or change of venue, Nelson urged Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill to consider giving both sides extra strikes to remove potential jurors for possible bias, and to recall the seven jurors seated last week to ask if the settlement affected their view of the case.

But Schleicher said those jurors already promised they could decide the case based only on evidence presented at trial.

Cahill agreed to consider the request for a delay, but didn't think it would be appropriate to grant additional strikes to either side.

He said he likely would recall the seven previously seated jurors for further questioning though he already instructed members of the jury pool to avoid all news coverage of the case.

Attorneys must settle on 12 jurors to deliberate and two alternates. At least three weeks have been set aside for jury selection.

The first potential juror questioned Monday was quickly dismissed after volunteering that she'd heard about the settlement and presumed it meant the city didn't feel it would win the civil case.

"When I heard that, I almost gasped at the amount," she said, adding that she couldn't promise she could disregard it.

Floyd, a Black man, was declared dead on May 25 after Chauvin, who is white, pressed his knee against his neck for about nine minutes.

Floyd's death sparked sometimes violent protests in Minneapolis and beyond and led to a national reckoning on racial justice.

Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter.
