Tomorrow we get to find out what the man who shot 5 people at a BLM protest in Minneapolis will be charged with. A judge extended the standard holding period so they can decide if it should be charged as a hate crime or not.

More stuff has emerged about one of the officers involved in the Jamar Clarck shooting. Emphasis mine.

Officer involved in Jamar Clark's death sued 10 days before shooting

One of the Minneapolis officers involved in the shooting death of Jamar Clark was sued just ten days before the incident.

MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) - Ten days before a Minneapolis police officer was involved in the shooting of Jamar Clark, the officer was sued for excessive force. The lawsuit concerns the use of a Taser in the arrest of a man in 2011, when Officer Dustin Schwarze still worked for the Richfield Police Department.

Schwarze is one of two officers involved in Clark�s shooting, according to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. The other officer is Mark Ringgenberg.

According to the lawsuit against Schwarze, Nataniel Hanson was the passenger in a car pulled over on December 11, 2011. The suit alleges Schwarze told Hanson and another passenger in the vehicle �that if they exited the vehicle, he would �beat the s�- out of� them.� However, Hanson claims another officer told him to leave the car, resulting in confusion.

During the confusion, Hanson alleges another officer, Nate Kinsey, punched him in the face before officers pulled Hanson out from the back of the car. Once out of the car, Hanson�s attorneys wrote that he was �prone on the ground and his hands were above his head� while Kinsey punched him nine more times.

Next, according to the complaint, Schwarze �removed the cartridge from his Taser, held the trigger down, and delivered drive stuns� multiple times to Hanson. The suit says the �Taser may be operated in �drive stun� mode and used as a pain compliance tool.�

Court records show Hanson was convicted of seat belt violations.

The suit alleges both false arrest and excessive force. The lawsuit was filed in Hennepin County on November 5, 2015, and removed to federal court on November 24, 2015. Hanson is suing the city of Richfield, and Dustin Schwarze, Nate Kinsey, and Aric Gallatin � police officers involved in his arrest.

Tim Phillips, an attorney for Hanson, sent a statement to Fox 9 saying: �We are optimistic that a jury will return a verdict in favor of our client. Yet holding police officers accountable when they unnecessarily kill or injure people is often impossible. This is why many people see the police as a force that terrorizes people with apparent impunity.�

An attorney for Richfield did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment on Sunday.

I wouldn't take it that far but they were planning to start a riot and brought guns. And made a video of themselves with their guns while saying racial slurs.

BLM was cleared out of the 4th Precinct in Minneapolis about 4am this morning. They're currently holding a rally at the Capitol which also is going to be cleared out shortly.

Looks like a good shoot tbh, though the video does look kinda bad without context.

He was suspected to have stabbed someone. There is another video out there from a slightly different angle that basically shows the exact same thing. Cornered, scared looking guy getting shot buy a ton of cops.

They're trained to shoot to kill.

I think they should be trained to shoot and expect to kill but also realize that isn't the needed outcome a lot of the time.

I would rather have two people injured unnessicarily than one killed unnessicarily if those are the options.

Edit: Which they aren't. Not every country has a horribly broken and violent police force, clearly it is a fixable problem.
