A protest is forming in Minneapolis after police fatally shot an armed black man while executing a no-knock warrant.
Police cam footage shows SWAT officers fatally shooting 22-year-old
Amir Locke on Wednesday shortly after entering the apartment.
Amir Locke, who is black, appeared to be asleep on the couch when police entered the apartment with their weapons drawn.
Locke was under a blanket on the couch and when he rolled over to face police, a gun can clearly be seen in his hand.
“Get on the ground! Get on the f*cking ground!” an officer shouts before shots were fired.
Police confirmed that Locke was not the subject of the search warrant.

Additional body cam footage:
Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar is already blaming police before a thorough investigation into the fatal shooting.
“The officer in the case has been put on paid administrative leave
while Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigates the
killing.” NPR reported.
“Locke’s family has retained attorneys Ben Crump and Jeff Storms. In a
statement sent to NPR, Crump’s office said that Locke “has several
family members in law enforcement and no past criminal history,” adding
that he “legally possessed a firearm at the time of his death.”” NPR
added.
Amir Locke’s father riled up a crowd of protesters in Minneapolis on
Friday when he claimed his son “did the right thing” by pointing his gun
to the ground.
“I saw in that instant he did the right thing.” Andre Locke, Amir Locke’s father, said.
Andre Locke said that when he watched the police cam footage of his
son’s shooting, he saw Amir’s finger off the trigger, gun pointed toward
the ground.
“I said, we’ll get justice Amir.”

Earlier this week, the US Food and Drug Administration announced that it had ‘fully approved’ the Moderna Covid vaccine for use in all US adults over 18 years old.
Just like the Pfizer vaccine ‘approval,’ the FDA ignored several
serious red flags and circumvented their own expert vaccine advisory
panel to ‘fully approve’ the Moderna vaccine. Also similar to Pfizer’s
‘Comirnaty vaccine’ approval, Moderna’s ‘Spikevax,’ is not actually
available in the US, but, rather, is able to be swapped out with the
previous version that is still under EUA approval.
It is unlikely that the fully approved ‘Spikevax’ will be seen in the
states anytime soon, especially considering the massive stockpile of
Moderna EUA vaccines that has been compiled by the US government.
Just days after the announcement, the FDA quickly removed
a document from their website that explained the reasoning behind their
decision to approve Moderna’s vaccine after it was found to have
included damning data showing the rate of heart inflammation in
individuals that have taken two doses of Moderna’s vaccine.
The document, titled ‘The Summary Basis for Regulatory Action,’
provided specifics about the decision to approve the Moderna jab,
including several references to an unpublished analysis that revealed
the rates of post-vaccination heart inflammation are actually
substantially higher than what has been previously disclosed to the
public.
The now-deleted FDA data compiled records from four separate
insurance claims databases showing that the rate of myocarditis and
other forms of heart inflammation following a two-dose regimen of
Moderna is 148 per million among males aged 18 to 25, which is a
whopping 2.6x increase over the highest rate that has previously been
reported.
Within hours of the information being flagged by the Epoch Times,
which had reviewed the data and sent questions about the massive
increase to FDA officials, the entire document was quickly scrubbed from
the agency website “overnight.”
“After The Epoch Times reviewed the document and sent questions
about it to FDA spokespersons, it disappeared from the agency’s website.

We are aware of the issue and hope to have the document reposted
as soon as possible,” a spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email on
Feb. 3.
Reached by phone and asked for more details about the issue, the
spokesperson said: “I reached out to the website people. I don’t really
have any more information to tell you.”
The Epoch Times has since filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
request to obtain the original summary action, as well as the data and
studies that were referenced in the FDA’s decision to approve the Modera
vaccine.
The increase over what has previously been reported is significant.
According to the most recent data that has been published by The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), post-vaccination rates of
myocarditis in this age group is just 10.7 cases per million among
individuals who received one shot of Moderna’s vaccine, and that number
jumps up to 56 cases per million among those who received two shots.
But, as the FDA inadvertently admitted in their summary basis, the true
number is close to 3x that rate.
In other words, the FDA is seemingly aware of exactly how dangerous
the vaccine is, especially for young people, but they are hiding the
information in order to convince people to take the experimental jab.
Roman Balmakov from The Epoch Times explains in more detail:
“This document made a reference to a meta-analysis which examined
the data sets of four different healthcare databases – and based on
that data it estimated that among males 18-25, the rate of myocarditis
following two shots of Moderna’s vaccine was 148 cases per million
people vaccinated, which is significantly higher than other government
estimates.
For instance, if you look at the analysis that was conducted by
the CDC – which compiled the reports of Adverse Vaccine Reactions – they
found, when looking at males between the age of 18-24, for those who
got one dose of the Moderna vaccine there were about 10.7 cases of
myocarditis per million people. And then for those who have received two
doses of the vaccine, there were 56 cases of myocarditis per million
people.
However, again, according to this now-deleted data that was
posted to the FDA website, they cited a much higher number. According to
that document, the real instance of myocarditis among young males who
receive two doses of the vaccine is 2.6x higher than what the CDC says –
and it is supposedly 148 cases per million people.”

Musician Neil Young
appears to have had a change of heart when it comes to the right of
Americans to say how they feel about a particular political issue, even
if others don't agree with them.
The liberal singer threw himself into the headlines last week following a decision to remove his content from Spotify in protest over Joe Rogan's podcast, complaining the latter was spreading misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic to his millions of listeners, and he no longer wanted to share a platform with him.
However,
Young's history of speaking out on political issues runs in contrast to
his current position on Rogan, considering he participated in a 2006
"Freedom of Speech tour" that traveled the country protesting the
then-involvement of U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, often to
disagreeable crowds.

"I
was a nervous wreck by the end of that tour. I never want to do another
tour like that in my life. I mean, that was so different from every
other tour I’ve done," Young told Rolling Stone in a 2008 interview.
"Just getting up in front of a lot of people makes you nervous. But when
you know that some of them are really going to be angry at you, and
you’re in a crowd, and it’s a volatile situation, people have been
drinking, whatever — you know, it makes you nervous."
"It was just
that critical time in history where things were turning. Things were
changing," he added. "Those who feel the way we do had some hope and
those who don’t feel the way we do were angry that the change happened.
And those people have got a voice, and they have a reason for feeling
the way they do. They strongly believe in the convictions. They believe
in the military."
"They believe that we’re doing the right thing
for the world, and they have every reason to be respected for their
beliefs," he said.

Young's
then-position on respecting the beliefs of others heavily contrasted
his approach to Rogan as he demanded the streaming giant choose between
the two.
"They can have [Joe] Rogan or Young," he reportedly posted in a letter to his management team. "Not both."
He
also wrote that Spotify has a "responsibility to mitigate the spread of
misinformation on its platform, though the company presently has no
misinformation policy."

Other
artists followed Young's lead by pulling their music from Spotify;
however the company opted to keep Rogan's content and instead
implemented a "content advisory" label to combat the spread of
misinformation.
Rogan also issued an apology and promised to expand the viewpoints he brought onto his show.

Eric Adams uses racial slur in unearthed 2019 video on policing
NYC mayor bragged he 'kicked those crackers’ a--'
An unearthed video of newly-minted New York City Mayor Eric Adams shows him using a racial slur in a talk on policing.
The
2019 video shows Adams speaking to a crowd at the Harlem Business
Alliance about his rise through the ranks of the New York Police
Department (NYPD).
While speaking to the crowd, Adams uses a
racial slur to refer to the White officers he outperformed as he grew
his career as a police officer.

"Every day in the police department, I kicked
those crackers’ a--, man,"
Adams said in the video reviewed by Fox News
Digital. "I was unbelievable in the police department."
"I
became a sergeant, a lieutenant, and a captain, you know the story,"
Adams also said. "Some people oversell it trying to reinvent me, but the
reality is: what I was then is who I am now."
Adams was asked about his use of the slur at a Friday press conference, prompting him to apologize.
"Should
not have been used. Someone asked me a question using that comment and,
playing on that word, I responded in that comment," Adams said. "But
clearly it is a comment that should not be used, and I apologize not
only to those who heard it, but to New Yorkers because they should
expect more from me and that was inappropriate."
New
York Police Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch addressed
the mayor's previous comments in a Friday statement, saying "whenever a
controversial video of a police officer surfaces online, we ask for
fairness instead of a rush to outrage."
"We will apply the same
standard here. We have spoken with Mayor Adams about this video," Lynch
continued. "We have spent far too many hours together in hospital
emergency rooms these past few weeks, and we've worked together for
decades before that."
"A
few seconds of video will not define our relationship," he added. "We
have a lot of work to do together to support our members on the
streets."
The video’s unearthing comes a month after Adams was
sworn in as mayor of the Big Apple, replacing widely-panned former Mayor
Bill de Blasio.
Adams took a hard stance against his party’s "demonizing" of law enforcement in July, pointing out that few of his fellow Democrats "have ever been part of law enforcement."
Crime has spiked across America since Adams’ inauguration in January, and New York City has been anything but spared.
Two NYPD officers were killed in the line of duty last month amid the crime spike.

A company called "our health media" if for BLACK families.... REALLY? Isn't that racist? The commercial says "Black families matter". then they go on to say that it is for black families.
What if there was a company for WHITES only? How fast would there be a protest?
NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. — A driver who police say sped through a red
light before crashing his sports car into a minivan, killing himself,
his passenger and seven members of a North Las Vegas family, had a
history of speeding and prior criminal convictions for drug and battery
offenses, authorities said Monday.
A National Transportation Safety Board member, Thomas Chapman, told
reporters that federal crash investigators will conduct what he called a
“parallel” investigation to one being conducted by North Las Vegas
police, looking for “broader safety issues of national significance.”
“Our mission is to understand not just what happened, but why it
happened,” Chapman said, “and to recommend changes to prevent it from
happening again.”
North Las Vegas police Officer Alexander Cuevas confirmed the driver
who caused the crash, Gary Dean Robinson, 59, of North Las Vegas, had a
prior history of traffic and criminal offenses.
Robinson pleaded guilty just nine days before Saturday’s deadly crash
to speeding in Las Vegas in December and was fined $150, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported, citing court documents.
Robinson also was ticketed for speeding by Las Vegas police last
August; by North Las Vegas police three times between November 2020 and
February 2021; and by Henderson police once in 2017, the Review-Journal
found.
Robinson had a state prison record after pleading guilty in 2004 to
felony cocaine possession and violating terms of his probation, and he
had a 2009 misdemeanor conviction for battery on a courtroom bailiff,
court records showed.
A man who identified himself as Robinson’s son, Gary Robinson Jr.,
declined to comment during a telephone call Monday from The Associated
Press.
On Saturday, according to police, Robinson’s maroon Dodge Challenger
raced at more than 100 mph (161 kph) through a red traffic signal at a
busy crossroad, slamming into a Toyota Sienna minivan containing seven
family members and triggering chain-reaction crashes involving three
other vehicles including a Ford Fusion in which a 31-year-old woman was
critically injured.
In all, 15 people were involved in the wrecks, Cuevas said.
It could take up to four weeks for investigators to learn from blood
toxicology tests if Robinson was impaired by drugs or alcohol at the
time of the mid-afternoon crash, said Dan Kulin, spokesman for Clark
County Coroner Melanie Rouse.
Killed in the minivan were the driver, Jose Zacarias-Caldera, 35; and
passengers David Mejia-Barrera, 25; Gabriel Mejia-Barrera, 23; Bryan
Axel Zacarias, 15; Lluvia Daylenn Zacarias, 13; Adrian Zacarias, 10; and
Fernando Yeshua Mejia, 5. They lived in North Las Vegas, Rouse
reported.
“It was all one family,” said North Las Vegas City Councilman Isaac
Barron, a high school teacher who said his students grew up with Bryan
Zacarias and characterized him as a popular and funny classmate.
Barron said plans were being made for a community memorial at a time to be announced.
“It’s a difficult time now,” said Councilwoman Pamela Goynes-Brown,
who said she knew members of the Zacarias family. “Just keep everyone in
your thoughts and prayers.”
Rouse on Monday identified the passenger who died in Robinson’s wrecked car as Tanaga Ravel Miller, 46, of North Las Vegas.
An online GoFundMe fundraiser launched in Spanish by Erlinda Zacarias
identified the people killed in the minivan as her family and said she
had no words to describe the pain and suffering she and her husband were
bearing. The account showed some 4,000 donors contributed more than
$175,000 as of Monday afternoon.
Chapman said the safety board may focus on what he called “a comprehensive strategy to eliminate speed-related crashes.”
“Tragedies such as this compel us to evaluate the potential for
improving safety by incorporating speed-limiting technology in all
vehicles,” the safety board member told reporters, including
high-performance sports cars.
