Professor: St. Anthony police chief dismissed plea to improve traffic stop training
Well as someone who has been trained in the classroom and on the street to recognize gang attire symbols signs and messaging....I am confident in my assessment.
And to be clear... I’m not saying even a non felon gang member who is in possession of a gun is deserving to be shot. We just do not know what the officer said and reacted to that is not on camera or has not been released yet from the dash cam.
Lots and lots and lots of older gang members have straight jobs. So just having a job does not mean that someone didn’t behave in a manner that cause an officer to believe he needs to fire. Just like just because someone says they have a gun and you think they look like an armed robbery suspect doesn’t mean you’re blasting.
