Shooting of Amir Locke
-
In short, the police were executing a "no knock" warrant looking for a resident of the apartment. Amir (who was not part of the warrant) was a guest sleeping on the couch around 7am when the cops entered. Amir woke up holding his (legal/permitted) gun so he was shot and killed.
One could question why someone sleeps with a gun while staying in the apartment of a criminal/suspect. Still, it is a tragedy he was killed, obviously. I doubt the cops even had time to process his skin color even though I'm sure that'll be the narrative in the corporate press.
