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/

    Yeah, my initial reaction was “well if he’s willing to shoot me I might as well shoot back”. But thinking about it, I’m a white cis man, I can’t imagine being in a situation like that and knowing that if I did retaliate I would more than likely be the one persecuted by the police.
