fugitive

Angry protesters lit fires, looted stores and taunted cops in Minneapolis
Thursday after officers shot and killed a man — who was a fugitive who
whipped out a handgun when authorities closed in on him.
Members of a US Marshals task force were attempting to arrest the felon
around 2 p.m. on a state warrant for being a felon in possession of a
firearm, authorities said.
“During the incident, the subject, who was in a parked car, failed to
comply and produced a handgun resulting in task force members firing upon
the subject,” the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department, which
was part of the task force involved in the fatal arrest, said in a statement.
The man killed has since been identified as 32-year-old Winston Boogie Smith
by local media and friends and family on social media.
Smith was convicted of aggravated robbery in 2017 and received a stayed
prison sentence and was put on probation, according to WCCO.
A warrant was then issued for his arrest after he skipped a probation
violation hearing in May — which would have sent him to prison, the
outlet said.
Officers attempted to revive Smith but he was declared dead by paramedics on
the scene. A woman who was in the car with the suspect sustained minor
injuries from shattered glass, the statement said.
Several law enforcement agencies had been involved in the arrest, including
local sheriff’s offices as well as the federal Department of Homeland
Security, but not Minneapolis police, the Star Tribune said.
Still, protesters shouted insults and anti-cop slogans at Minneapolis police
, whose officers were deployed to provide perimeter support, the paper said.
The shooting quickly intensified angry protests already raging over the
dismantling of George Floyd Square even before any real details of the
shooting emerged — with videos showing several large fires burning in
the street.
Police fired flash bangs, and numerous buildings were vandalized and stores
looted, police confirmed to KTSP.
“Stop burning s–t!” one infuriated woman told people
standing staring at one of the fires, caught in a video by local journalist
Rebecca Brannon.
Protest group organizers admitted that they were responding even when they
didn’t “know anything” about the shooting.
“We understand the anger and ire when we see these police shootings,&
rdquo; Pharoah Merritt of crime prevention group We Push for Peace told the
local paper.
The protests were around 3 miles from where George Floyd was killed by ex-
cop Derek Chauvin in May last year — with local stores still boarded
up from other riots since then, the local paper noted.
Protesters had already been out in force in anger at city workers finally
dismantling the so-called “autonomous zone” that had blocked off
traffic for a year at the site where Floyd was murdered.
As soon as workers removed concrete barriers and parts of the memorial
blocking the street, around 150 protesters there started parking cars and
piling pallets in the streets again, the Star Tribune said.
Many remained discussing future plans, with the crowd dwindling after news
came of the shooting, reports said.
Mayor Jacob Frey said “it will be a bit touch and go and difficult
over the next several days” as the city tries to enforce the new area,
which will still keep the several-foot-tall statue of a raised fist.
The officers in the latest police shooting were all put on administrative
leave. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension will lead the
investigation. | h******g 发帖数: 209 | 2 这下子,作弊们,尤其是黄作弊们都要和死了亲爹娘一样了。拿枪的逃犯居然就要被打
