  • The Minneapolis Police Department in Minnesota released bodycam footage showing police snipers shooting an allegedly armed man after a six-hour standoff on July 14. A woman called 911 stating someone shot multiple rounds through her apartment door. When officers arrived, the suspect, 20-year-old Andrew Tekle Sundberg, allegedly shot through a door in the stairwell of his apartment when an officer attempted to initiate contact. While officers attempted to de-escalate the situation, the suspect allegedly threatened to shoot the officers while acting erratically. Snipers stationed across the street identified what appeared to be a gun in Sundberg's hand and fired multiple shots. The suspect died from his injuries at a local hospital. No officers were injured during this incident.

      Another part that bothers myself is that his family has said that " he was smart, loving, and kind and also had the innate sensitivity to be capable of loving everyone and everything. It sounds like he was suffering from a mental health crisis". If your child is suffering this bad from mental health, how do you not see it as parents?
      Also, why does a 20-year old have a handgun? (assuming it was a handgun fired into the mother/ childrens apartment because I cannot find anything that says what kind of firearm was used).

Maybe that cat did, or didn't but you had to come in and be THAT guy. No one wants or needs THAT guy in a conversation. Think about it...if you were suddenly transported to a land where not one person spoke your language, you might just begin to understand slowly what some basic words meant.

    Looking from a cops perspective, it really goes to show how scary it is when there’s multiple doors and you have no idea which room the shooter is in and at any given moment he could pop out and start shooting at you.

That mixed with surveillance cameras in alot of homes and almost every business makes them a very valuable tool to protect cops from sticky situations and from lying cops as well.

The cops that genuinely are actually doing their jobs and handling these things justly often times get defamed by media and other outlets. This kind of stuff really affects the ones that are doing what is right and what's best for that situation. They handled this very well.

      She did not forget about them. She came out first in case the gunman was standing near. She was screaming for her kids the second the officer grabbed her arm. She likely thought she would be able to run back and get them.

    The fact that these people protesting have no sympathy for the brave police officers tasked with keeping communities safe from dangerous people like this yet have sympathy for the ones creating danger in our communities makes me sick. These officers have children and families too and people would rather attack them for doing their job literally and metaphorically.

      its not about not having sympathy for the officers. We protest a justice system designed to incriminate certain minorities. There are always good cops, and there are always bad cops, but when there are bad cops they need to be held accountable.

    And people are in a fit for police not acting properly. OH such misconduct! Trying to talk him out in a standoff, even when shooting at police. Then the sniper restrained himself and confirmed a cell phone, then once confirmed he had a gun he still restrained until the man shot again and then they finally fired and took him out. Meanwhile the neighbors apartment looks like it went through a warzone with a woman and 2 children in it. But people can't understand why she was freaking out on them when they were celebrating the man's life outside her apartment.

      People are in a fit because they got nothing better to do with their lives and because virtue signaling is so easy, regardless of the consequences. They actually dont really care whether or not their contributions affect on change, rather they just want people to perceive them as someone "who cares about things". Its sheer narcissism from peoples behalf and theres nothing else to it.
