The death of a young Black man at the hands of a Minneapolis police SWAT team is shining new light on how police carry out no-knock warrants.
Attorneys and the family of 22-year-old Amir Locke said Friday that officers basically “executed” Locke, and that they were "flabbergasted” that Minneapolis police haven't learned from the botched no-knock raid in Louisville Kentucky, in which Breonna Taylor was killed. And they were dismayed that Locke died at police hands in the city where George Floyd s killing in 2020 sparked a nationwide reckoning with racial injustice.
