Body camera video captures frantic moments, intense gunfire after fatal shooting of Minneapolis cop

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Body camera footage released Friday shows a chaotic encounter on a Minneapolis street last month, as officers ran toward a man who just shot one of their own, while bystanders took cover behind a car as gunfire rang out.

Edited video released by the Minneapolis Police Department shows the moments before Officer Jamal Mitchell was fatally shot on May 30, as well as the frantic minutes that followed as officers pleaded with bystanders to help find the shooter, amid the steady sound of gunshots and sirens.

The video shows Mitchell, who was responding to call of a double shooting, walking up to a man he believed was injured. He asks “Who shot you?” twice, and is seen putting on medical gloves. As Mitchell starts talking to a woman nearby, the man on the ground, later identified as 35-year-old Mustafa Mohamed, reveals a handgun — and the video abruptly ends.

Authorities say Mitchell walked into an ambush, and that Mohamed fatally shot him.

Police Chief Brian O'Hara declined to answer details about the shooting as he released body camera video on Friday, citing the ongoing investigation.

Mitchell's killing stunned a department that has struggled to fill its ranks since the murder of George Floyd and the ensuing turmoil.

The situation began with a report of a double shooting at an apartment complex. The footage released Friday, which was edited and partially redacted, shows Mitchell arriving to the scene and approaching Mohamed, who was lying on the ground, resting against a parked car.

“It looks we have at least two victims outside at the location bleeding,” Mitchell said on police radio before exiting his squad car and walking toward Mohamed.

The video ends before Mohamed fatally shoots Mitchell.

God bless his soul.

So many who haven’t quit law enforcement are now risking their lives (and their freedom from anti-police lawsuits) as they defend millions of people who are not worth defending.
In a system that every day lets criminals go to find new victims.

THIS is why I don’t care what happens to perps who Resist Arrest. Once you CHOOSE to Resist Arrest EVERYTHING that follows is on YOU. You’ll find Sympathy between “Shit” and “Syphilis” in the Dictionary.

It takes a special kind of evil to pretend to be a victim, only to murder the hero who comes to the rescue.

Rest in Paradise, Officer Mitchell. So sorry for you and your family.

Can we admit Islam, somalis especially, are not compatible with western Christian civilization? There is not a single thing this “diversity has improved by importing it.
