There was a police-involved fatal shooting in Minneapolis Wednesday evening. The father of the man has identified him as 23-year-old Dolal Idd, and Paul Blume of FOX9 spoke with the father Thursday:

Family says they don t believe @MinneapolisPD narrative that their son fired first. They claim he was just sitting in his car. Dad, here, particularly upset about how his family was treated when law enforcement came to their home overnight with search warrants. @FOX9pic.twitter.com/CMax0OjXXF

We believe it was June when there were statues being torn down or vandalized every day: Some, like Thomas Jefferson and Ulysses S. Grant, were toppled by vandals, while others were taken down by cities, such as the Christopher Columbus statue in Philadelphia.
One target that managed to escape toppling despite the best efforts of activists was the Emancipation Memorial in Washington, D.C., showing a freed slave rising up from bondage in front of Abraham Lincoln too many thought it looked like the slave was kneeling before Lincoln, so it had to go. That led to screaming from young white activists who didn’t understand why some blacks didn’t want their “help” in toppling a memorial paid for by freed slaves.
