Minneapolis Mom Berates BLM Radicals Turning Violent Sinners into Saints

A Minneapolis mother of two couldn’t contain her rage as she watched BLM protesting the police shooting of a suspect who nearly killed her and her children.

In this video, you can see a speaker was addressing BLM protesters when an irate mother interrupted him. She reportedly lived in the apartment next door to where police killed an armed suspect. As usual, BLM was attempting to sanctify a violent armed felon shot by police.

According to KARE 11, News Arabella Foss-Yarbrough was in her apartment cooking for her young children when the suspect allegedly fired shots inside the building, into her apartment. She displayed photographs, as published by the New York Post, showing bullet holes in her apartment door and bathroom.

She called 911. Officers responded and were evacuating residents when they began “taking fire.” The officers called for SWAT. On arrival, two snipers took up positions nearby. “At some point during the standoff, the two snipers shot the male subject.”

Yarbrough shouted at the protesters, “‘This is not a George Floyd situation. George Floyd was unarmed. This is not OK.’ Foss-Yarbrough… [said] ‘He tried to kill me in front of my kids.’”

She continued, “‘I have black children; I am a woman of color!’ Foss-Yarbrough, who is of black, white and Native descent, then yelled.”

“If I would have lost my life, would you guys do this for me?”

The insane anti-police views adopted by leftist militants, and encouraged by Democrat politicians, have created a situation where no police shooting of a “person of color” is ever justified. And radicals always elevate violent career criminals to virtual sainthood.

Parents’ comments must be taken in the context of their grief. But, the suspect’s mother said, “[He] was an imperfect human as we are all imperfect humans and he did not deserve to be picked off like an animal from a rooftop.”

What other practical options existed? The suspect had a vote. Unfortunately, he voted not to drop his gun and surrender to the police, forcing officers to stop him before he shot into another apartment with a mom and children inside—where he might not have missed.
