Some observations from a local. (ME)
Stuff that the local media is using to whip up a frenzy against the MPD and some comments from me.
“He was adopted when he was 4 years old.”
So?
“He’s from Ethiopia”
And?
“He has mental problems”
Where were the parents? Why was he living alone, unsupervised? How was he able to get a firearm? Did you know that he had a firearm? C’mon mom and dad, jump in here.
“It is being alleged that the two snipers involved were part of the Amir Locke death in the no-knock warrant case.”
Point?
Local media won’t be happy until the MPD is disbanded and replaced with community activists and crisis councilors with stuffed toys and lollipops.
Be careful what you wish for.
Thanks ButThreeLeftsDo.
The only police that the left likes are secret police.
His parents, a white couple who adopted him, have jumped on the Crump bandwagon. When confronted by the neighbor who came under fire with her kids during Tekle’s rampage, they can only say they “feel” for her, and regret her trauma, and say: “there are two families deeply affected by this.”
Maybe it’s just a reaction to their kid being killed, but I wonder if they are hoping for a big payday.
