very rarely did we go the no-knock route. it was knock and announce. so when i heard the number of 139 in minneapolis, i thought that was very high in terms of the number of no-knock warrants. but there are some high-risk warrants where perhaps no-knock would be the best approach in trying to execute the warrant safely and be able to apprehend the individual without that person being harmed either. so an outright ban would be something that i would not be in favor of, but i do think there has to be some very tight restrictions placed on it? if you watch the footage here, and i m sure you ve both seen it. when you look at it, does it appear to you that what you saw was police following the appropriate protocol for even an available no-knock warrant? and if not, do you think if they had followed the protocol precisely, that there is just unfortunately the callous view of collateral damage being the result? i hate to even phrase it that
stay calmer by coming here and learning the basics of action. preparing for the worst. terry moran joins us from the ukraine. u.s. officials said an attack could happen at any time now. but what are you hearing from the people on the ground? are there fears that this threat is imminent? reporter: linsey, it doesn t really feel that way. people here have been living with russian threats and aggression for years. walking around the city feels normal. but it doesn t take long for the subject to come up. one man told me, there will be no war. but if there is a war, it will be a small war. people her can t conceive that their beautiful city could be engulfed. one woman said, putin is crazy, but we won t invade because, she said, america will help us. terry, thank you. the minneapolis police department is facing outrage over the use of no-knock warrants following the deadly l 22-year-old black man.
you re opening the door you announce or as you re walking in you announce, so in this case, it s sort of hit or miss where it is, but the straight truth of it is since this policy has been enacted, it really hasn t changed how many no-knock warrants have been issued by the judicial officers from the minneapolis police department. yeah, you know, this is really tragic, and we see the body cam footage there, frank, and i have to say body cam footage has only given us a better view of black people getting assaulted and murdered at the hands of law enforcement. mobile phones are actually the more important footage that happens here, and obviously there s no justice for this family. but i m curious what accountability looks like here, and what s the mood of the community on the ground there? i mean, you named it, right, these video footages are showing us what has been happening for so very long, and you know, there have been protests here in
accurate. do you think officers can do their jobs and not have no-knock warrants as a viable option? i don t think there should be an outright ban. but i do think there needs to be a very high bar set. and those kinds of warrants ought to be approved by the court beforehand. so i haven t always been a police chief. i spent a lot of time working in narcotics in chicago, and i participated in the execution of hundreds of search warrants. very rarely did we go the no-knock route. so when i heard the number of 139 in minneapolis, i thought that was very high in terms of the number of no-knock warrants. but there are some high-risk warrants where perhaps no-knock would be the best approach in trying to execute the warrants safely, and be able to apprehend the individual without them being harmed, either. so i do not think i would be in
the building next door to the apartment where mr. lock was killed. this person told one of our reporters that there was somebody living there at the time who frankly scared them, and scott caused this neighbor to call the police. this neighbor said they heard gunshots. we are still digging into this reporting. but this may be a reason why minneapolis police decided to do a no-knock when they had the authority to have unannounced entry. that is one of the follow-up to the story, which is quite interesting. we are going to follow it very closely with you, thank you for being with us, brent williams is the editor with radio news covering race class on communities. we have one more story to get to tonight on this friday, one that is going to be a cause for a little bit of celebration, stay with us. it of celebration, stay with us stay with us
