The St. Paul Police Department is investigating an officer-involved shooting Thursday morning. Police confirm that the officer was not injured and the suspect is dead. The shooting reportedly happened around 7 a.m. outside of a Holiday gas station near Wabasha Street and Plato Boulevard. A witness tells KSTP he saw the suspect and police involved in an altercation. He says the suspect was throwing rocks and at one point punched one of the officers. He allegedly continued to “physically and aggressively” interact with the officers before the shooting. No other information has been released at this time.

From a statistical standpoint the odds are the cop was white and the suspect was not.

But if we hear nothing more about it, we may be able to safely assume the suspect indeed was.

Keeping the suspect’s race a secret since it’s obvious he did attack the officer.

    From another source... "The man who was killed is described as a hispanic male in his mid-twenties."
Fifty per cent correct so far - unless, of course, the perp was a "White Hispanic."

If the suspect was white and the cop was not, the cop will be listed as ‘other than white’, the media will ignore it and nothing will burn.

Maybe criminal was a Hmong. Unless he was a black man, there’s nothing to see here.

Given the location, odds are a ‘white hispanic’.

I can hear the complaints about the cop shooting “an unarmed teenager”. Look for the race pimps Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to land at MSP later today.

Of course in this case, he won’t be a “White” Hispanic.

Perhaps the cop had a white mother and a black father and the perp was bi-polar.

I have been to St Paul——great grandparents from there——and it is almost 100 per cent white. Also, with only 600 people I don’t think they even have a police force. The Neosho County sheriffs patrol there.

You have the wrong St.Paul-their PD is probably 600+ in number.
