Minneapolis council member calls Sundberg death a ‘murder’
Back in March, Wonsley said she wanted to "imagine a city without police."

One member of the Minneapolis City Council has accused the officers who shot Andrew “Tekle” Sundberg of “murder.”

Robin Wonsley, a Democratic Socialist who represents Minneapolis Ward 2, penned a statement Wednesday where she began by informing supporters that the city’s police department would be releasing body-camera footage of Sundberg’s “murder.”

“The amount of trauma associated with this moment is massive,” Wonsley continued. “Tekle’s loss of life was preventable. The trauma of his neighbors prior to and following his killing was preventable. The trauma of his family and the community was preventable. We all deserve a city and a public safety system that cares for Black and brown people and prevents these traumas. Creating that system has been my priority since I took office and it continues to be.”

Apparently the brown woman and her children that Sundberg was shooting at don't matter.

Even though I have always believed my fathers statement of 50% of people are as dumb as stones these are getting sooooo ridiculous and are supposedly those that are not in the aforementioned category. Dad had an inordinate amount of dealings with people for a LOT of years.

Wonsley may well be right that this could have been prevented. I'm sure that any objective review of the facts will find any number of dereliction by the officials who are supposed to help people like Sundberg, long before he was wandering the street shooting into random apartments.

But none of those failures were relevant to the situation the police were faced with at the time they were faced with it.

To be “right” it would have had to be murder, it clearly was not.

Let her walk up to the door of nut ball shooting to defuse the situation. Bet she changes her mind real quick. Cops wrong? Hell no. Give the cop a medal for protecting the public!

She is a Socialist. She has an agenda and she will use this to further it. I think Obama's line was 'never let a crisis go to waste'.

Obama is not smart enough to coin that phrase. A much better man than he originated it.

Winston himself. Today's partial proof of my fathers statement - Biden still has 31% rating.

I give more credence to your father's numbers, than brandon's being as high as 31%. I not sure if it's my faith in the American people, or the bias of pollsters.
