Remember when you heard about the 46 arrests on 69 felony level charges after a carjacking crackdown by HCSO and MPD? Three weeks later, the county attorney's office has only received 12 cases from them. Only 5 could be charged. Of those 5, none related to carjacking.
Story coming up in a few minutes here on @kare11 at 10.
MPD says they are still investigating and there will be more cases presented to the Hennepin County Attorney at some point, specifically carjacking. The 5 guys charged right now are drug possession after traffic stop, and criminal complaints make no mention of carjacking.
here is the story if you missed it: kare11.com/article/news/c…

This morning, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and several other city leaders held a news conference about what to expect as far as communication and safety measures in the city during the Derek Chauvin Trial. The emphasis was on two-way communication to make sure residents are heard
It was really something to hear Econ Policy & Development Dir Erik Hansen say in the same breath "Mpls will be open for business" as well as advising boarding up and moving important docs off-site. I guess that represents the range of what they hope vs fear might happen.
Starting March 1st, S 6th street between 3rd and 4th Ave will be closed. That is the street and sidewalk that runs right underneath the Hennepin County Gov Center where the trial will be held. No other street closures announced, but they alluded that others will happen as needed.

This morning I watched the full body camera videos for former officers Thomas Lane and J Alexander Kueng. I will try to update in this thread what the body cameras show that you are unable to see in the Facebook video and other available surveillance videos
Lane taps on the window of George Floyd's car with his flashlight and says "let me see your hands." Floyd is visibly startled, before opening the door slightly and Lane keeps yelling to show his hands.
Lane pulls his gun with his right hand and points it at Floyd for about 40 seconds while telling him to show his hands. Floyd says "I got shot the same way before." Floyd is handcuffed within the first 2 minutes or so of the interaction.

I’m at the Hennepin County Jail where former MPD officer Derek Chauvin is scheduled to make his first court appearance, via video monitor, from the Oak Park Heights prison where he is held. I’ll add details to a thread here after it gets underway. @kare11
With social distancing -- this hearing requires two overflow courtrooms with 9 reporters in each - besides the main courtroom.
Chauvin is charged with 2nd Degree Murder, 3rd Degree Murder and 2nd Degree Manslaughter. We expect the judge to set bail amount today.

Hi Everyone. Those of you who know me know that I'm not a big "make myself the story" kind of guy. But considering the amount of response this video has received, I'd like to give you some more context in a thread here. At the end, I hope you'll watch the story we aired at 6pm.
My work partner Craig and I went to Albany MN (pop. 2500, 85 miles from Mpls) on Monday to cover the story of a local restaurant/bar owner who promised to open at noon in defiance of the state order for restaurants to serve take-out only.
I had just spent much of the previous week reporting on businesses opening w/o permission. The issue boiled over after Minnesota's Largest Candy Store was allowed to reopen and was letting in 200 customers at a time. So this story was right up my alley.
