    IMO 'known criminal' the wrong term. My understanding is that there was an outstanding warrant for a misdemeanor offense. If true then every citizen with a traffic violation would fall under the category of 'criminal'. His mistake was panicking and resisting arrest. But then he was also young and the advice he would be getting from his local community and peers (especially in Minneapolis) at the moment) about what to do when confronted by the Police would most likely not be helpful. So until more information comes to light I'm certainly not I'm not going to judge his actions too harshly - which is why this is tragedy all round.

    They wouldn't rise to that level had the individual simply complied like an adult.

    Arrested for no reason? The man had a warrant out on him. Did you not know that?

    But either way I'm smart enough to know that justice isn't carried out on the street, it occurs in a courtroom, and that if I fight with police I will lose EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Is this intelligent insight due to being White? Hardly. Its due to not being raised to idolize the 'thug life fug da poleez' elements present in the degenerate lower cultural tiers of every race group.

    Tragic, this poor girl. Well she'll be fired and do 5 years for manslaughter but she's only 26, plenty of time to start a second career and have a family, the big blue safety net is waiting for her.

    She doesn't deserve a single minute behind bars and if shes charged the entire police force should resign.

    The distance he drove has consistently been described as "several blocks"

    He was getting back into the car, that's we can plainly see. He was fighting with the cops to do it, and you're suggesting he pushed away from them and sat down in the car...to use the phone? You aren't allowed to do that. You don't get to unarrest yourself. You don't get to fight the cops and try and get your phone or anything else.

    Yes, the reason was for expired plates as do a lot of vehicles in MN because of covid. No, he didn't cause his own death. Failed to respond to what charge? Enough with the lawful order BS....same excuse as the army LT that was pepper sprayed. You don't have a clue what it's like to be a person of color with the police.

    So you're saying rap music made him disobey the police? Brilliant! Then I'll say that the police think they are part of the military and kill them all and let god sort it out,

    You're comparing mass shootings to being pulled over and complying with an officers order?
    Not sure I see the connection

    No, I'm saying it's the same litany of excuses in both cases.

    Without a valid tag it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle on a public road. MN like most states have an online portal to renew so COVID is a poor excuse:
    https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs/Pages/dvs-content-detail.aspx?pageID=574

    It still remains a completely valid reason for police to initiate a traffic stop. I have been pulled over for this very reason (by three cop cars with five officer's — it was late and they thought it was stolen as I had removed all of the decals on the tag to put the new ones on and forgot).

    I showed them the valid registration, new decal and that was it.

    I also didn’t have a warrant out for my arrest for assault and had they ordered me out of my vehicle I would have complied and not jumped back into my vehicle.

    His race has nothing to do with this, this isn’t like the Arbery murder where race was absolutely the issue or the Shaver murder where they maliciously killed him.

    This kid did everything he could to inflame that situation. And your assertion that this all happened because of his race disgraces the memory who were targeted and murdered for that very reason.

    How do you know it's not for certain? How do you draw that conclusion?
