’Swift action’ taken against officer who shot black man, St Paul top cop says
Todd Axtell, the police chief of St Paul, Minnesota, said he took ’swift, decisive and serious’ action against an officer who shot an unarmed black man over the weekend. Axtell said state law prevented him from disclosing the action he took, but Fox News reported that the officer has been sacked from service. The injured man has been identified as Joseph Javonte Washington, 31, of Lakeville.
Shooting a naked man whose being sought for a recent sexual assault is clearly justified under Supreme Court rulings. The guy was a forceable felon suspect who posed a danger to others if not apprehended. We now have Politicians, who are not taught anything about permissible police actions, rendering verdicts without any sue process. It’s seriously time for cops to walk and let these politicians fix the crime issues, see how long they last in the job.
😂😄🤣😅
Axtell is not a good chief. Throwing gas on a fire when he’s not sure of the origins. He comes out with this BEFORE any investigation had been conducted. The fired officer’s lawyer said the guy made references to having a gun before popping out of the dumpster. Police were in contact with the victim that was able to free herself after the suspect crashed.
They always have to mention unarmed, but don't tell you the whole story.... Typical just trying to stir up more hatred and divide.
Another Alleged Rapist going to be the Hero and praised for being shot by a white male. I wonder has a gofundme started?
oh there about to be a new millionaire in St Paul...
A cop shooting someone and losing his job. Shocking. Now we just have to wait for everyone to come in and tell us how incredible this cop was and how he did nothing wrong
Absolutely no mention of what actually happened during the incident. How sad
Will you f-off with this race based bs. Just the facts, please.
