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/

    Minneapolis City Council needs to take charge of this and clean house. Police aren’t going to do it themselves, so the holder of the pursestrings is the one ultimately responsible.

      Nah. Too little, too late. Send the DOJ. The City Council should separately be investigated.

        The feds are already investigating the police there. They have been on a long time operation, and it is expected that it will conclude in a manner in which a lot of the department will change hands when it is over

      Frey has vetoed any attempt to hold their feet to the fire.
