The Twin Cities metro region was ground zero for the nationwide Black Lives Matter riots after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May 2020, which was then followed by a crime surge across the area. The outlet also claimed there were more children swearing at the officers, allegedly kicking and throwing rocks at the cops as well. The MPD noted that the investigation is still ongoing.Īlthough the video footage is only 30 seconds long, Alpha News, a local independent outlet who released the footage Saturday, noted there are two more minutes of footage. It remains unknown if the children were connected to Dailey or anyone involved with the homicide case and search warrant. In these situations, professionalism, care, and empathy are our guiding principles.

Officers understand that we meet many people during some of the worst moments of their lives. MPD officers interacted with a group of young children at the scene and video recorded by a bystander has become the subject of scrutiny.

The child then points to the feet of the official wearing the ATF vest and says, “you got those ugly-ass church shoes.”Ī bystander is also audibly heard referring to one of the black officers as a “deep-fried Oreo head,” a racial slur suggesting that the black officer is acting as a white person, presumably for being associated with law enforcement.Īn MPD spokesman stated to Breitbart News:

The child in the footage, whose face is blurred and is only wearing underwear, can be heard twice yelling, “shut up, bitch,” at a Minneapolis police officer before turning to a colleague, who is wearing an ATF vest, saying, “shut the fuck up.” as officers with the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD), along with the members of the Saint Paul Police Swat and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), conducted a search warrant for Deon Dailey, 36, according to the MPD.ĭailey was arrested and booked for Probable Cause Aiding an Offender that was in connection with a homicide investigation. The incident occurred at 600 Block on Lawson Avenue in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on July 6 at around 7:40 p.m.
