As #BreonnaTaylor showed us, no-knock warrants have deadly consequences for innocent law-abiding Black people! @MinneapolisPD executed a no-knock warrant yesterday at 6:48am, killing Amir Locke while he was wrapped in a blanket on the couch. Now we demand #JusticeForAmirLocke!! pic.twitter.com/FLKqR0eszP

Amir Locke’s father Andre showed how his son held his licensed gun correctly, as he was trained to do, before Amir was shot by police during a no-knock search warrant. Bodycam footage appears to show Amir did not point it at police and did not put his finger on the trigger pic.twitter.com/gRQhiX6Lds

The senseless killing of Amir Locke isn't just 1 new name on long list of victims of police violence. He represents all the broken promises that came after George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. His blood is on the hands of those who failed to act

My new column https://t.co/5kQyrynwuU
On Saturday, more than 1,000 protesters marched through the frigid February streets of downtown Minneapolis, demanding justice and adding Amir Locke to the ever-growing list of names that have become a monument to the broken culture and values of an American police state — not just Floyd and Taylor but also Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Daunte Wright, Philando Castile, Fanta Bility and countless others. And yet on some level Locke’s killing seems even worse. So many so-called leaders — from the president to senators right down to the mayor — assured Americans this would never happen again.
They all lied.

Who was Amir Locke? His dad described him as an entrepreneur, a change-maker, and a law-abiding citizen. Amir did everything RIGHT, yet he was still unjustifiably killed by Minneapolis PD! #JusticeForAmirLocke pic.twitter.com/WTAqRZPDic

Amir Locke was asleep, tucked under a blanket in the early morning.

10 seconds later, the Minneapolis Police shot and killed him in a no-knock warrant that he wasn’t even named on.
They entered with no regard for human life. We need justice for Amir.

Amir Locke had a valid Minnesota license to conceal and carry a weapon. This is a FN 5.7 legally registered to Amir. Amir Locke wasn’t on the warrant and there’s even talk that the apartment unit they killed Amir in wasn’t in the warrant either. Where’s the body cam footage? https://t.co/StNVpHords

The judge who presided over the Derek Chauvin trial is the same one who signed the "no-knock" warrant that resulted in the murder of Amir Locke. The blood of this young man is on Peter Cahill's hands just as much as the cops who did the raid.#JusticeForAmirLocke pic.twitter.com/JoY02Lsch1

At a press conference this evening, Mayor Frey talks about the importance of getting the facts right, then is unable to answer the question: "Why was Amir Locke referred to as a suspect in MPD's press release?"https://t.co/2wqWtdNF2c pic.twitter.com/WjZn4AOfa1
