Wow, only just seen this now. What was he getting arrested for that warranted that kind of force? (I'm assuming that Kind of arrest is warranted if someone has a gun/rocket launcher/grenades)

WTF is that even supposed to mean? So if I kill a man in full public view, can I then pull out my phone and produce a video of me from some other time engaging in non-criminal activity and then just go about my day? Give me a break.

Damn that has thrown a spanner in the whole case if they aren't going to just admit to killing that man. If only there was some video evidence or eyewitnesses to this horrible event.
WASHINGTON — A Family Dollar Store security guard murdered in a dispute over wearing a face mask. A coronavirus researcher in Pennsylvania gunned down in an apparent murder suicide. A woman shooting up an Oklahoma McDonald’s after being told the dining area was closed.
Those incidents — all happening within the last month — underscore new data showing that the nation’s gun violence epidemic has grown since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. The new data also shows those statistics could soar even higher amidst the protests over George Floyd's killing.
Firearm fatalities increased significantly in April (16 percent) and May (15 percent) compared to the same months in 2019, even while many Americans spent their days sheltered at home, according to new data from the Gun Violence Archive compiled exclusively for NBC News. Those deaths followed unprecedented spikes in gun purchases in March, a trend that continued in April.
"May 2020 has officially had the highest number of mass shootings (56) of any month since we started tracking mass shooting data in 2013,” the Gun Violence Archive said on May 31. The study defines mass shootings as four or more shot and/or killed in a single event.

Sad thing is LL, that Americans won't give up their guns. Despite widespread proof that living in a country with stricter gun controls means less people die.
This is highly misleading.
A total of 6 officers fired on the Native American, whose name is Wayne Reyes. This happened approximately one week before Klobuchar was elected to the Senate. In 2008, a Grand Jury failed to put forward charges against any of the officers - a year AFTER Klobuchar was serving in the Senate.
