His offense? Throwing a landscaping brick at a police officer's car as they were leaving the 2nd precinct headquarters. Maybe the camera caught that as well as the taser use.

Teen Tasered in neck by police officer speaks out - Minneapolis / St. Paul News - City Pages - The Blotter
He says he didn't move but the MPD officer tasered him anyway. There are a bunch of issues here that will have to be resolved, whether the stop was warranted, whether the escalation of force was warranted and the misuse of the taser--you don't taser somebody touching somebody or something else, and definitely not something metal. Don't expect to hear the cop's POV anytime soon since there are administrative procedures and probably union rules as well that prevent that from happening.

City pages has the details, including video. Yet another alleged Taser misuse incident. Yet another unnecessary force/wrongful arrest lawsuit. Cameras on squad cars and in safe zones don't seem to be incriminating perps as much as cops these days.

Eastside Defender | Minneapolis Crime News Hosted by the Northeast Citizen Patrol
Longtime readers of the Crime Watch know that I used to post the NE Citizen Patrol weekly (or biweekly) newsletter which focused specifically on crime in NE Minneapolis, comprised of the old Nordeast neighborhoods along the river, the University Area and a smidgen bordering on the downtown area. Most of it within the 2nd precinct. I sent an email quite a while ago asking what happened to the report and never heard back. John Schulte, the author of the email report has finally checked in to report:
Many of you have been wondering why you have not been getting crime news emails this summer. The fact is I've had surgery that set me behind on getting these out. However, most of you know that www.EastsideDefender.com has been updated with crime news all along.
I'm hoping to get the crime emails back in place very soon, but I wanted to take this time today to remind everyone to vote tomorrow. The city council can have a drastic effect on our fight against blight and crime in NE.
Please take a close look at each candidate's record on helping out with our crime fighting in NE. We need a true fighter that has NE as a first priority when it comes to our basic need for safety. Without a clean and safe NE, all other good intentions cannot happen.
In alphabetical order, here are the candidate's web sites.
Tom Alessi: http://tomalessi4ward1.com
Mark Fox: http://electmarkfox.us
Susan Howitz Hanna: I could not find a website for Susan
Larry Ranallo: http://ranallo4neward1.com
Kevin Reich http://www.kevinreich.com
Remember that this is the first year for run off voting. So you will be voting for up to 3 people. Please vote pro safety people as your first choices.

Crime Alert on Street Crime in Lowry Hill, Steven's Square
Kind of sucks for Steven's Square which just had a homicide, even if the killing was related to a personal beef. Not good for the stats.
-----------------
Please see below for information on purse snatches and thefts from motor vehicles in sector one, primarily in Stevens Square, Whittier and Lowry Hill East neighborhoods. There is no further information on any of these crimes at this time.
Purse Snatches
There have been three reported purse snatches within the last week in 5th Precinct Sector 1. In all three cases, the female victim was walking alone when someone ran up from behind, grabbed her purse and ran. In one case, two males approached; in the other two cases, it was one male. None of the victims reported injuries.
In two cases, the purses were recovered. In one case, credit cards from the purse were used at a gas station.
25xx Harriet Av S, Monday 10/26/09, about 8 pm
Victim was approaching her apartment building. 3 juvenile males were arrested.
29xx Hennepin Av S, Wednesday 10/28/09, about 1:30 pm
Victim was walking on Lake Street.
26th St & Stevens Av, Wednesday 10/28/09, about 11:45 pm
Victim was walking on the street.
Remember:
· Be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts
· Walk in well-lit areas when possible
· Avoid walking alone down alleys or isolated streets, especially in the dark
· Have a cell phone with you so you can call 911
· Carry your keys in your hand so you can more quickly get into your front door
· Carry the minimum amount of cash and credit cards with you that you can
· If you must carry a lot of cash, carry a small amount in an obvious place (like your purse, wallet, or pockets) and hide the rest in a less obvious place (like a shoe)
For more personal safety tips, please visit http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/police/crime-prevention/docs/KEYSPS.pdf for the direct link to a flyer with several safety tips.
Theft From Motor Vehicles
In addition, we continue to see thefts from motor vehicles. This week (10/20-10/26/09) there were 35 reported thefts from motor vehicles in 5th Precinct. 15 of those occurred north of Lake Street. 9 of the cases were in or on the border of Lowry Hill East.
In most cases, a window was broken to access valuables inside. In 6 of the 15 cases, a GPS unit was stolen. 2 cases included stolen laptops and 2 included stolen iPods.
This is a reminder to remove valuables from your vehicle, including GPS, wallets, purses, laptops, iPods, and so on. Remember that even a gym bag could be attractive to a thief because he or she will not know what is inside.
If you must keep valuables in your vehicle, it’s best to place them in your trunk before reaching your destination.

Homicide Victim was witness in earlier Homicide
David Chanen does an excellent job piecing through the details at the Star Tribune. It could be another "Somali revenge killing" but in this case, the fact that the victim may have been targeted because he offered testimony in another case isn't particularly Somali. Your run of the mill gang bangers do this too, in the rare instance of one of them testifying against another.
