Fmr. Minneapolis City Council Candidate: ‘Is It Wrong that I Don’t Feel Bad that the Police Officers Were Killed?’

TRANSCRIPT:

METZGER: "This morning in Burnsville, Minnesota, two police officers and a firefighter were shot and killed when they responded to a domestic dispute call. It’s been over 14 hours since the shooting occurred and they have not released the identity of the man. 2023 was the most deadly year at the hands of police, with 1,348 people reportedly being killed by the police. Meanwhile, 134 police were killed in a line of duty. So my question to you is, are they withholding the identity of the person to protect them because they’re white, or is it a black person and this is just a one-off time that they’re not incriminating the person? Also, is it wrong that I don’t feel bad that the police were killed, but I do feel bad the firefighter was killed? Let me hear your thoughts in the comments below."
