Police in Minnesota are under fire after serving a no knock warrant and fatally shooting a Black man. Wednesday morning the department’s SWAT team executed a no knock warrant related to a homicide investigation in a downtown Minneapolis apartment.

Reportedly Amir Locke was asleep and was holding a firearm, which his family’s lawyer says was legally owned, when he was shot and killed by the police 9 seconds after they entered.

The 22-year-old ‘s parents claim Locke was “executed” after he was startled from a deep sleep and reached for a legal firearm to protect himself.

America needs to see that Black people can’t even sleep in our apartments, wrapped comfortably in our blankets without the threat of police.

Say this brothers name!!
