Mother of Amir Locke, Karen Wells, wasLIVE with Life After the Impact’s LaToya Benton and Roxane Johnson, to discuss the current state of the fight for justice for her son, who was killed in a matter of seconds by Minneapolis police on February 2, 2022 after MPD employed a no-knock warrant.Despite the DOJ’s recent findings on the Minneapolis Police Department’s pattern and practices, city attorneys filed to dismiss the lawsuit filed against MPD for the murder of Amir. As the family’s attorneys stated: “The efforts by the City to try and dismiss this case should be a red flag for the community that city officials publicly stood next to and supported the Locke family in the aftermath of his killing, but the City now seeks to avoid ALL accountability for Amir’s death. This continued refusal to police from within is a textbook example of why the federal government must police the Minneapolis police.”In addition to the lawsuit, Amir’s family has been working to advance legislation against no-knock warrants, so this kind of senseless murder won’t happen again locally or federally.Tune in to learn what YOU can do to support this case and further advance this legislation.
