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/
“We had no reason to suspect he would shoot the victim from inside his house.”
Um. OK. Finish that thought?
"We just assumed, after repeated threats to do so, he would shoot him from outside his house, so you can see where our confusion arose. When he shot from inside, we didn’t know that to do. Who would? Is it even illegal to shoot your neighbors, if you do it while inside your house? Truly a question for the ages. We had to consult attorneys about this. They said that while it’s probably perfectly legal, we should probably take him in for questioning just in case.
But, again, given this completely novel new concept of shooting from – and I want to repeat this so everyone sees why this was so confusing for us – inside his house, we worried for the safety of our officers, because we have no training for something this radically different. Fortunately the poor fellow did walk outside, and we of course immediately arrested him. He was outside his house at that point, you see?"
castle doctrine still has some validity in the modern age (IMO especially when it comes to shooting feds) and has hundreds of years of precedent.
That is such a bullshit citation of Castle Doctrine. You are borderline retarded for suggesting the idea even has merit.
This is such an idiotic comment it literally made me feel embarrassed for you.
