Killed by a Vigilante Who Received No Prison Time: The Murder of AJ Stewart
You may have never heard their names before but the story is a familiar one — the racially charged killing of AJ Stewart, 27, was quickly compared to Trayvon Martin and Ahmaud Arbery. Brian Kjellberg, who was 50 years old at the time, was dubbed “Saint Paul’s version of George Zimmerman, Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael, and William Bryan.”

One week after the police murdered George Floyd & a few days after ordering the National Guard to quell the popular uprising, MN Governor Tim Walz came out of the Governor's Residence as tens of thousands of protesters rallied on the street outside. Walz was confronted by impacted family members and then listened to speeches for about 45 minutes before going back inside: https://youtu.be/alfb8CxeGEI
There have been at least 64 people killed by police in Minnesota since Walz became Governor in 2019. Aside from the murders of George Floyd and Daunte Wright, families of victims of police terror have very rarely received justice in the courts in MN.
Gov. Walz recently publicly criticized and planned to take Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty off the case for pressing charges on Ryan Londegran, a State Trooper who fatally shot Ricky Cobb II during a traffic stop.
Gov. Walz said to Unicorn Riot "Voices need to be heard and as we said the murder of George Floyd has shook the world and it's the conscious of Minnesota, this is our responsibility."

“I’m documenting & making statements about our society, social injustice.”
It pays to understand who funds groups like Heritage Foundation and the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) as such entities often draft conservative policy and legislation for politicians:
On the evening of June 28, Mway and his friend were stopped by three police officers from the Utica Police Department and two Oneida County Deputy Sheriffs on their walk home from Bible study class and a graduation party.
Body camera footage was released by UPD, but only from three of the officers who were on the scene. The footage shows a pedestrian stop, otherwise known as a stop-and-frisk — a controversial tactic of interrogating and searching someone based solely on “reasonable suspicion.”
