Protests In Minneapolis Over Fatal Police Shooting Of Amir Locke

In Minneapolis, calls for the interim police chief's resignation arose after the police shooting of Amir Locke, a 22-year-old Black man, during a no-knock warrant operation. Chief Amelia Huffman claimed officers announced their presence before entering, but body cam footage contradicted this. Locke, not the warrant's target, was shot after allegedly pointing a gun at officers, though footage showed the gun pointed at the ground.
