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.

#Beirut #LebanonBEIRUT (Reuters) - A huge explosion in port warehouses near central Beirut killed more than 50 people, injured over 2,750 and sent shockwaves that shattered windows, smashed masonry and shook the ground across the Lebanese capital.Officials said they expected the death toll to rise further after Tuesday's blast as emergency workers dug through rubble to rescue people and remove the dead. It was the most powerful explosion in years to hit Beirut, which is already reeling from an economic crisis and a surge in coronavirus infections.Lebanon's interior minister said initial information indicated highly explosive material, seized years ago, that had been stored at the port had blown up. Israel, which has fought several wars with Lebanon, denied any role and offered help."What we are witnessing is a huge catastrophe," the head of Lebanon's Red Cross George Kettani told broadcaster Mayadeen. "There are victims and casualties everywhere."Hours after the blast, which struck shortly after 6 p.m. (1500 GMT), a fire still blazed in the port district, casting an orange glow across the night sky as helicopters hovered and ambulance sirens sounded across the capital.A security source said victims were taken for treatment outside the city because Beirut hospitals were packed with wounded. Ambulances from the north and south of the country and the Bekaa valley to the east were called in to help.The blast was so big that some residents in the city, where memories of heavy shelling during the 1975 to 1990 civil war live on, thought an earthquake had struck. Dazed, weeping and wounded people walked through streets searching for relatives."I promise you that this catastrophe will not pass without accountability," Prime Minister Hassan Diab told the nation. "Those responsible will pay the price," he said in his televised address, adding that details about the "dangerous warehouse" would be made public.The interior minister told Al Jadeed TV that ammonium nitrate had been stored at the port since 2014.The U.S. embassy in Beirut warned residents in the city about reports of toxic gases released by the blast, urging people to stay indoors and wear masks if available.Footage of the explosion shared by residents on social media showed a column of smoke rising from the port followed by an enormous blast, sending up a white cloud and a fireball into the sky. Those filming the incident from high buildings 2 km (one mile) from the port were thrown backwards by the shock.It was not immediately clear what caused the initial blaze on Tuesday that set off the blast.Lebanon's health minister said more than 50 people had been killed and more than 2,750 injured. Lebanon's Red Cross said hundreds of people had been taken to hospitals.The governor of Beirut port told Sky News a team of firefighters, who were battling the initial blaze, had "disappeared" after the explosion.President Michel Aoun called for an emergency cabinet meeting on Wednesday and said a two-week state of emergency should be declared. He said it was "unacceptable" that 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate were stored for six years without safety measures.The prime minister called for a day of mourning.The explosion occurred three days before a U.N.-backed court is due to deliver a verdict in the trial of four suspects from the Shi'ite Muslim group Hezbollah over a 2005 bombing which killed former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri and 21 others.Hariri was killed by a huge truck bomb on the same waterfront, about 2 km from the port.Israeli officials said Israel had nothing to do with the blast and said their country was ready to give humanitarian and medical assistance to Lebanon. Shi'ite Iran, the main backer of Hezbollah, also offered support, as did Tehran's regional rival Saudi Arabia, a leading Sunni power. Western countries including the United States, Britain and France also said they were ready to assist.Images showed port buildings reduced to tangled masonry, devastating the main entry point to a country that relies on food imports to feed its population of more than 6 million.It threatens a new humanitarian crisis in a nation that hosts hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees and which is already grappling with economic meltdown under one of the world's biggest debt burdens.Residents said glass was broken in neighborhoods on Beirut's Mediterranean coast and inland suburbs several kms (miles) away. In Cyprus, a Mediterranean island 110 miles (180 km) across the sea from Beirut, residents heard the blast. One resident in Nicosia said his house and window shutters shook. "All the downtown area windows are smashed and there are wounded people walking around. It is total chaos," a Reuters witness said.Get the latest news on: http://reuters.com/Follow Reuters on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ReutersFollow Reuters on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ReutersFollow Reuters on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reuters/?hl=en

Eyewitnesses of George Floyd's death testify at Derek Chauvin murder trial
Eyewitnesses of George Floyd's death testify at Derek Chauvin murder trial WorldViralMedia 17 Lượt xem • 5 năm trước kia

One off-duty firefighter testified at Derek Chauvin's murder trial today on what she and other bystanders experienced watching George Floyd die. NBC's Jay Gray joins 'The News with Shepard Smith' to report on what happened during the second day of Chauvin's trial.

Opening statements in the trial of Derek Chauvin began Monday, 10 months after the white former Minneapolis police officer was recorded kneeling on George Floyd’s neck before he died, spurring months of protests nationwide.

Chauvin, 45, faces charges of second- and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Court staff have said the trial is expected to last about two to four weeks. Chauvin has pleaded not guilty.

The historic case comes amid a push by racial justice advocates, particularly those affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement, to hold police accountable for unlawful violence against Black people.

Prosecutor Jerry Blackwell, speaking from behind a sheet of plexiglass, said in his opening remarks that Chauvin caused Floyd’s death and acted well outside the bounds of his job when he refused to “let up” and “get up” for more than nine minutes.

“Derek Chauvin betrayed his badge when he used excessive and unreasonable force upon the body of Mr. George Floyd,” Blackwell told the jury.

Blackwell was followed by defense attorney Eric Nelson, who aimed to separate the case from Floyd’s status as an activist symbol while introducing the concept of a reasonable doubt to the jurors.

“There is no political or social cause in this courtroom,” Nelson said.

“The evidence is far greater than nine minutes and 29 seconds,” he said, before arguing that Chauvin’s conduct with Floyd constituted “exactly what he had been trained to do over the course of his 19-year career.”

The trial is taking place in Minneapolis and is closed to the public, though it is being streamed live, at Chauvin’s request, a first for a criminal trial in Minnesota.

Outside the courthouse, advocates for Floyd, including his family members and civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton, marked the start of the trial by kneeling for eight minutes and 46 seconds — the now-symbolic figure initially reported to be the amount of time that Chauvin held his knee on Floyd’s neck.

“The whole world is watching,” Floyd family attorney Benjamin Crump told reporters.

Three other former officers connected to Floyd’s May 25 arrest, Thomas Lane, Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao, will face a separate trial in August. Those officers have pleaded not guilty to aiding and abetting second-degree murder and manslaughter.
