He’s finally arrested.

Minneapolis police are now facing heavy criticism for not arresting Sawchak before the shooting even though he had multiple complaints.

Members of the Minneapolis City Council, including Mayor Jacob Frey, pointed blame at the Minneapolis police department for not acting on any of the prior complaints against Sawchak and failing to arrest him immediately after the shooting. https://newsone.com/5658819/white-man-shoots-black-neighbor-minneapolis/

    Once again, armed white criminals have more rights than unarmed innocent POC in this country. The police likely support what this man did.

      For anyone who thinks this comment is hyperbolic, never forget Nathan Pelham the Jan 6 insurrectionist.

      When police came to take him in he drunkenly shot his gun at them from his home. Shooting to kill.

      The police drive away and let him “sleep it off”

      Imagine if that was a black man. He and his whole family would be shredded by assault rifles.

      White domestic terrorists are being coddled by law enforcement.

      Arm the left.

      It’s a racist institution. It stopped being good for the people decades ago. It needs to go.
