Not acceptable but many more officers will be shot and killed in the line of duty this year. In fact, they already have in less than 40 days. And that, too, is not acceptable. It is a violent and dangerous world right now.

Agreed. So....stop with these idiotic, unnecessary raids. Especially since they can't even do the due diligence to make sure the people on the warrant are even there.

That's too much to ask

Yeah, no kidding.

His take reads like the Philando Castile Facebook posts from some years back that said he was a drug dealer and was never caught so he had a legal LTC.
Using "Sarge's" logic all of us are criminals that have yet to be caught.
Very blue state POV.

From my end, I want to put this discussion to rest. I am in Aggieland now and am trying to get our basketball team back in the W column tomorrow night.

I am pro LE, but not when cops go bad. One of my proudest moments from being DA was putting a sheriff in prison. That was in 1999 or 1998. That guy would put a bullet in me today if he had a chance. He really holds a grudge! Plus he is a really bad person.

The officer who shot the guy on the couch in the most recent incident in Minnesota did absolutely nothing wrong. He was merely on the entry team and was doing what the judge's search warrant told him to do. If a person points a gun at officers under those circumstances, he is going to get shot. One or 2 seconds makes a difference between who lives and who dies. I have become very callous, and I am the first to admit it. I have seen too many dead babies, too many children abused, too many bad, bad affects of the drug problem. There is true evil in this world and many of you will say you know that, but have you ever faced it? LE has to face it and has to make split second decisions that can alter many lives, including their own.

And in today's world, POC get a pass way too often. LE will turn a blind eye to many infractions so they do not have to stop POC. Some agencies will not let officers run search warrants on POC unless it is a very serious crime. As all can tell by watching videos of crimes being committed on the news, POC commit a higher percentage of crime than any other group. This includes killing cops. Sometimes even assassinating cops. So when LE comes into contact with people who commit more crimes than other groups of people, those officers are on heightened alert. I commend young people who still want to get into LE. That is one reason I enjoy instructing young officers, especially DPS. It is a tough, mean world for LE and they face situations that most of you cannot place yourself in, no matter how hard you try.

Lastly, as for "no knocks", States can be more restrictive than the US Constitution and than what the Supreme Court says. But States cannot give more power to government---LE---than the Constitution does. So a state can outlaw "no knocks", but I don't think as of now any have done that. And there is a reason for that. "No knocks" are sometimes necessary. But as I have said above at least twice, they are used too often. Or at least they have been in the past. I believe most judges are limiting the issuance of "no knock" search warrants.

Please do not find any pleasure or satisfaction when LE is hurt, or worse. Because if someone ever invades your house or shoots at you in a road rage incident, LE will be the first number you call.

Do not disagree with any of that. Just want to read the warrants and statements of probable cause to ascertain if this was a legit bust. Takes murder 2 out of consideration if those are solid.

But now this is in BCA's hands. After the Chauvin trial, my faith in them is. let's say, "diminished". There could be coke powder, fentanyl and Walter White's Baby Blue by the pound in that apartment and BCA would not test it unless the defense knew about it and demanded it.

They refused to test that in Chauvin's case "because it was not a drug case but an officer involved homicide."

It was the cops who invaded the house because they wanted to be tough guys and not do any real police work. They pushed for the no knock entry, and then murdered an innocent man. That cop will lose his life either to prison or a needle, as he should, i.e. he's not going to squirm his way out of it because his boys have his back. It's a shame the other cops probably won't be charged as accomplices.

It's not the police's job to be a paramilitary force. Better men need to shut this nonsense down, and tell them to get back to grinding out the work and due diligence, the same mundane reality all of us face. Sounds like you were a good cop. I respect that law enforcement is a dangerous profession, but only slightly more so that being a dock hand, fireman, or electrician. If it's not for someone then it's not for them, being dangerous doesn't excuse being bad at the job.

Henry Goedrich Magee was accused of capital murder for the Dec. 19 death of Burleson County Sgt. Adam Sowders. Magee's attorney, Dick DeGuerin, said Thursday the grand jury did not return a capital murder indictment against Magee.

Sheriff's deputies entered Magee's rural home near Somerville to search for guns and marijuana. DeGuerin has said Magee awoke and thought burglars were entering his home about 90 miles northwest of Houston, reached for a gun and opened fire.

Magee was charged with possession of marijuana after deputies recovered a handful of plants and seedlings.

In September 2020, Speed, then 16, shot a man in the leg following a fight near a Brooklyn Park gas station and strip mall. Speed would plead guilty and be put on extended juvenile jurisdiction, which basically means that an adult prison sentence is stayed until he's 21. #2

Speed would go to the West Central Regional Juvenile Center in Moorhead, a secure treatment facility. At some point he was discharged and sent home. He failed to stay in contact with his probation officer, go to school and go to therapy, according to court records. #4

The Star Tribune story on Speed's arrest does a good job of setting out Speed's criminal record. CBS Minnesota story on Speed's arrest is here. KARE 11's is here.

The MPD officer who shot Locke in the course of the raid may or may not bear legal culpability. As Speed's arrest makes clear, we do not have all the relevant facts. As of today, for example, the search warrant documents remain sealed.

You can see why the Minneapolis police might have wanted a no-knock warrant. For Speed's background, I refer readers to the Twitter thread posted by KARE 11 reporter/producer Brandon Stahl below. Apart from Speed himself, the culprit at the heart of this tragic chain of events is Minnesota's pathetic criminal justice system.

St. Paul police say a 17-year-old is in custody in connection with a January homicide that triggered the no-knock warrant that eventually led to the fatal police shooting of Amir Locke.

The department confirmed that Mekhi Speed was arrested in Winona for the death of Otis Elder, who was shot and killed Jan. 10 on the 500 block of North Prior Ave. The teen was booked on probable cause second-degree murder, and is being held in the Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center.

Court documents filed early Tuesday say Speed is Amir Locke's cousin.

In a juvenile petition, prosecutors lay out how witnesses told investigators that Elder was conducting a drug transaction when one person got into the front seat of his SUV, while a second approached the drivers side of the vehicle and shot Elder. The men escaped in a Mercedes that was later found to be stolen, and linked to multiple crimes.

According to the complaint, investigators used MnDOT cameras to track that vehicle in the moments after the fatal St. Paul shooting, and traced it to the Bolero Flats apartment complex in downtown Minneapolis. A witness at the apartments identified Mekhi Speed, who matched the description of one of those at the shooting scene, as a resident who lived in the complex with his mother in one apartment but often visited his brother in another unit on the seventh floor.

Prosecutors say Minneapolis police were planning to execute a warrant on the morning of Feb. 2 to search for Speed and two of his associates for probable cause murder. They executed the warrant on unit 701 first, as computer records at the complex showed that Speed frequently used a key fob registered to that apartment. Inside, the petition says, officers found the Speed's brother, his girlfriend and Amir Locke, who was fatally shot when SWAT officers spotted a gu

Investigators attempted to locate the juvenile suspect for several days, contacting his mother, his parole agent and conducting surveillance on the Bolero Flats apartments. On Sunday, Feb. 6, Speed was located in Winona. The criminal petitions says he attempted to run from officers, but was caught and arrested. Police say they found a loaded weapon inside Speed's coat, which appears to be the same one worn by the gunman in surveillance tape of the St. Paul murder.

Is it logically possible that the police thought Locke was Speed?

Well put.

Only thing worth noting - apparently there is no evidence the victim pointed his gun at police. In fact, some reports suggest the gun was laying next to him when they shot him.

Police aren't saying why they opted for a no-knock warrant, but court documents indicate that a man who lived in the apartment that Locke was visiting had a past violent confrontation with police.

Marlon Cornelius Speed, 23, who lives in apartment 701, pleaded guilty in 2019 to a misdemeanor charge of interfering with police. Prosecutors say while riding in a squad car, Speed threatened to rape an officer's family members, then tried to head butt him after arriving at the jail. The criminal complaint says Speed then smashed the officer's hand into a concrete pillar.

More recently, prosecutors charged Speed with felony domestic assault. In November, he allegedly hit his girlfriend with a belt and choked his sister, who'd tried to intervene, until she nearly passed out.

Well I can see how that might make the apprehending officers a little more ready to, err, execute the warrant
The matter might have been more personal.

Granted it was words, an attempted head butt, and then a hand smashing into a pillar (presumably while the perp was still cuffed), but since it was in the Court documents used to obtain the warrant presumably the officers executing the warrant were familiar with those facts.

That's unfortunate for the deceased.

I would imagine that was on their minds. Kid was on video where a guy was shot and killed in cold blood. Wasn't the first time Speed had shot someone either.

The Graham v. Connor standards for judging use of force in an officer involved shooting is whether the use of force was reasonable "under the totality of the circumstances." The background of Speed is a large part of that assessment in my view.

The police had been looking for him for several days. His mom was aware of that (lived in same apartment complex) so the police would have a reasonable belief that Speed knew he was wanted and subject to arrest.

The reporting on this has been less than stringent as the stressed warrant is the search warrant. Point being the search warrant was incidental to the arrest warrant. They were there to make an arrest and then later perform the search for additional evidence. (Which they found, BTW.)

Tough case. I still want to read the warrants and statements of probable cause to know what all the officers knew before they entered that apartment. Part of the totality of the circumstances.

Right. And now we gotta decide if we want to charge cops with murder. Cops who didn't write the warrant or have anything else to do with this situation other than have the job to make entry. All for choosing to shoot instead of get shot. Murder charge or die. Quite a choice

This one is going to be messy because the officers followed procedure (as currently established), had a warrant, and didn't shoot the guy until they saw a weapon. The other issue he is had a permit for the gun, so not a criminal, and it was a no knock raid, but they did announce themselves after opening the door.

And had EMS responded in a timely manner (when the fire station was literally a half mile away) Floyd would have only be restrained (at the time allowed within their manual) in that manner for three-four minutes, max. EMS was called even before Floyd was on the ground per his request to lay down on the pavement.

Not to mention he said he could not breathe while standing upright beside the squad car. It was not positional asphyxiation.

We really don't know that yet. Unless you have other links I have not seen?

This is setting up thus far as what the cops knew and did not know.

The guy named Speed, even at 17, was bad kid. Shot a man before, then shot and killed a man on video. The cops know who he is. They know he's driving around in a stolen Mercedes. They trace that stolen car to the apartment tower in which he lives. They are told he has a fob for that particular apartment, witnesses who live there identify him from the video of the murder.

There is surveillance installed to watch the building and garage.

So tell me. Same height, same build, hoodie and a mask. BUT same car entering the building garage. Guy goes into that apartment. (Not saying that Locke was the one driving the stolen car, in fact probably was Speed's brother, who was at the apartment with his GF when the raid happened.)

Now what?

This wasn't as easy as you seem to think it was.

Slowly more is coming out now.

Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill has unsealed 16 pages of search warrant documents underlying the no-knock raid in which Amir Locke was killed last week. The papers lay out the no-knock rationale. St. Paul police sought assistance in their investigation of a deadly robbery that took the life of Otis Elder. They filed two warrant applications the first for a regular warrant, the second for a no-knock "nighttime" warrant when Minneapolis police balked.

Quote:

Video and photographs connected suspects to three of the apartments to be searched in one downtown Minneapolis building. The surveillance footage depicts Mekhi Speed and other suspects carrying firearms. Evidence from the scene raised fears of .223 caliber rounds that can penetrate body armor.

Quote:

---

"These suspects have been actively involved in numerous crimes throughout the metro area since at least November 2021 to include robberies, firearm incidents, and fleeing police in a motor vehicle," the warrant application read. "The suspects have been posting videos and photos on Instagram holding several different firearms to include a rifle, possibly the murder weapon."

Having first signed off on a regular warrant, Judge Cahill subsequently approved the early hours, no-knock raid that the MPD SWAT team conducted. Cahill was persuaded that the no-knock raid would be safer for the police and the public, including other apartment residents.

The search warrants connected to the St. Paul homicide case show that St. Paul police initially obtained regular search warrants for three downtown Minneapolis apartments, but never executed them.

The initial warrants would have required police to knock first before searching the apartments during daylight hours. In executing no-knock warrants, officers don't have to knock first but must announce their presence and purpose before crossing the threshold of the doorway.

After the Minneapolis Police Department insisted on using the more controversial entry method according to a source who did not want to be named St. Paul Police went back to Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill and obtained no-knock warrants instead. Cahill presided over former MPD officer Derek Chauvin's trial, in which he was convicted of murdering George Floyd.

Police wrote that they found Instagram posts showing Speed and other suspects driving a stolen Mercedes-Benz, hanging out at the Bolero Flats pool, and flashing cash and several firearms, including a rifle and "possibly the murder weapon."

Investigators recovered a .223 caliber spent cartridge case at the St. Paul homicide scene. Noting .223 caliber rifle rounds can penetrate police body armor, police told the judge that entering the apartments at night would allow police to get in without alerting the suspects. They argued this would protect the officers and reduce the risk of injury to suspects and other residents.

Rob Doar, senior vice president of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, tweeted that .223 rounds are traditionally used as ammunition in rifles and the casings from Locke's gun would not match the one found at the St. Paul homicide scene.

Police connected photos of the suspects to two brothers who occupied a Bolero Flats apartment. The search warrants indicate two people involved in the case were arrested on Jan. 16, but their involvement in the case isn't clear and their names were redacted from the warrants. One was wanted on numerous warrants, including aggravated robbery.

Police obtained permission to search apartment 701 where Locke was shot after telling the judge that Speed's brother, Marlon Cornelius Speed Jr., lived there with his girlfriend, and Speed had obtained a fob for the apartment. The search warrant says Speed was transported by medics from the apartment on Jan. 22., but no reason was given for him requiring medical assistance on that date.

---

Quote:

---

Under state law, no-knock warrants must be reviewed by senior police officials. The no-knock warrants were reviewed by St. Paul Deputy Chief Stacy Murphy and Sheila Lambie, senior commander of the SPPD homicide/robbery unit.

The documents indicate the search of apartment 1403 yielded clothing, an empty case for a Glock, computer, marijuana and phones. In apartment 701, police seized two computers, phones, a 9mm bullet from a laundry basket and suspected marijuana. And from apartment 1402, they seized phones, boxes of ammo, a blue Tommy Hilfiger coat (which investigators said was worn by a male with Speed when he returned to Bolero Flats after the Elder homicide), a black ski mask in a black duffel bag and suspected controlled substances in pill form.
