People gathered outside the Minneapolis apartment Saturday where 20-year-old Andrew ‘Tekle’ Sundberg was shot and killed by Minneapolis police. Demonstrators joined family members as they demanded more answers from law enforcement.
Two Minneapolis police snipers shot and killed Sundberg Thursday morning following a 6-hour long standoff.
The BCA, the top law enforcement agency in the state, is investigating the deadly use of police force. It still remains unclear what exactly prompted the officers to shoot.
According to investigators, Sundberg fired multiple gunshots inside the Seward neighborhood apartment building Wednesday night, and a neighbor, Arabella Yarbrough, called 911 saying a bullet went through her wall.
Yarbrough interrupted the demonstration Saturday as the group was getting ready to start the rally. She said she felt threatened by Sundberg and feared for her and her children’s lives that night.

So it’s ok if you roll the dice and get lucky.
Sometimes that’s exactly the problem I have with punishing scum based on whether the person HAPPENS to die. The docs work so well that the victim made it, but if victim dies….oh suddenly, it’s a homicide.
Why punish the people that live in that complex?
I doubt that any of the people that live there were involved in that rally.
I would guess that anyone that was home when the police shot Sundberg were grateful for the police response.

I’ll go out on a limb and say that you’ve never policed in the ghetto or the projects. I have.
What’ll you’ll find is that there are many in those places that are good people. But, they’re outnumbered by those that aren’t.
What could solve so many of those types of problems is having the ability to identify the good ones, move them to certain places, and then take the bad ones in those certain places and move them to the lousy ones. Let birds of a feather, flock together. Let the good folks live their lives.
