Forum Administrator 04/12/2021 08:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to nypost.com (secure)] "Wright had been pulled over Sunday afternoon for an outstanding warrant — and was shot after jumping back in his car and trying to race away, crashing to a stop after driving several stops, police said. Within hours of Wright’s 2 p.m. fatal shooting, at least 500 protesters had taken to the streets, according to the Star Tribune — many looting and trashing up to at least 20 stores, officials later revealed. Looting was widespread late Sunday into early Monday, not just in Brooklyn Center — a city of about 30,000 people located on the northwest border of Minneapolis — but spilling into north and south Minneapolis, the local reports noted."

His mother said one of the things he mentioned to her was they were asking about insurance. He knew he had an outstanding warrant and probably no insurance I wonder what his mother actually said to him She’s saying he died because he had air fresheners hanging from his rear view mirror ~With forethought and malice Whitless enacted an EO giving nursing homes immunity from wrongful death prosecutions, forced them to take in infected patients and is responsible for over 6500+ nursing home deaths~ |

User ID: 58237403 United States 04/12/2021 08:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the initial claim was that he was driving his moms car to car wash to clean it for her.... NOW we find out that he had a warrant for his arrest, was fleeing cops and may have even stolen the car he was driving in... WHAT a MESS! Now we will see if the dem gov cracks down on the rioting (now that Trump is out of office)... So, if this is true, those that initiated the former narrative, as well as those that perpetuate it (including news media) need to be hunted down, arrested, and thrown into Gitmo. Within the surreal depths of "reality" lies the truth. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 79324350 United States 04/12/2021 08:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't get it though, I mean this kid got himself killed by being retarded, but all of the cops I know just let black people go now if they run. None of them think it's worth a murder charge if they are forced by the minority suspect to kill them, so they just let them go and call it in unless it's some major crime. Sure they could have thought he was going for a gun in the car, much like the Jacob Blake shooting. But damn, you've got body armor and a tactical advantage of training and having your gun already drawn... I would take the 5% chance of getting shot in that scenario over the 100% chance of my city being burned down and getting charged with murder. |

These people are kinda stupid. Quoting: Blackhawk He's black because he was shot by police. If he was a police officer who killed a black man, they would call him white... see below. J Alexander Kueng, 26, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States is African-American like George Floyd. The former has been charged in the death of the latter. [link to conandaily.com (secure)] Not only can half black officers become white when the left needs them to, but full on Asians as well... I remember seeing many news reports early on that said it was 4 white officers who killed George Floyd. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79324350 United States 04/12/2021 09:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Given that in Minnesota they have a history of withholding information until the race riots are as bad as can possibly be, I would say the warrant was for something serious. It would be tougher to get every Autozone in the state burned down if it got out the warrant was for child rape. If it was for something minor, the family would have already come out and said so. |
