Leo Terrell says MN mayor 'tying police's hands' after shooting: 'I felt he was working for the criminals'
Fox News
Los Angeles civil rights attorney Leo Terrell ripped Brooklyn Center, Minn., Mayor Mike Elliott's handling of the police-involved shooting death of a motorist earlier this week, claiming his actions make him seem like he's on the side of rioters ransacking the area the past few nights.
"Sean, I saw this incompetent mayor basically tie the officers' hands behind their back... That mayor is incompetent. Honestly, I felt he was working for the criminals because he basically is allowing his city to riot tonight. The police are basically defenseless." "What I've seen in Minneapolis and Minnesota today is incompetence." Elliott, the city's first Black mayor, who immigrated to the United States from Liberia as a child, took command authority of the Brooklyn Center Police Department upon a 3-2 city council vote, and saw the termination of City Manager Curt Boganey and resignation of Police Chief Tim Gannon.More Related News
