Dozens gather at Minneapolis City Hall on Feb. 11 to hand deliver ethics complaints by 1,250 Minneapolis residents against Mayor Jacob Frey related to the killing by police of Amir Locke. “The Residents’ Complaint” asserts that the mayor and interim police chief “intentionally and recklessly misrepresented the facts” when they repeatedly referred to Amir Locke as a suspect; the mayor violated his duty by not firing or disciplining the officer who fatally shot Locke; and it was a “massive failure to exercise judgment” for MPD to use a no-knock search warrant on behalf of the St. Paul Police Department when St. Paul hadn’t asked for one. Kristin Ingall, a southwest Minneapolis resident and mom, told the crowd in the rotunda that for too long it has been the inactions of “ordinary people, like me,” that has kept a harmful system running. “Amir Locke was executed by the Minneapolis Police Department and the negligence and inaction of Mayor Frey. And yet there has been no accountability. Why do we accept that as residents of Minneapolis?” she asked. Complaint forms are being sent to the city of Minneapolis Ethical Practices Board. Those filing complaints must be residents of Minneapolis and at least 18 years of age. More information is available on Instagram @TheResidentsComplaint. (Photo by Jill Boogren)
