Minneapolis Suspends No Knock Warrants after Amir Locke Killed

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has imposed a moratorium on both the request and execution of no-knock warrants in the City of Minneapolis after extensive protesting.

Minneapolis city leaders want Mayor Jacob Frey to end the use of no-knock warrants, not just put them on pause.

The mayor on Friday announced a “moratorium” on the practice following the police killing of Amir Locke, 22, during a raid last week. The hold on no-knock warrants stays in place while the city, Minneapolis Police Department leaders, and outside experts requested by the city examine how the serving of warrants should be changed.
