## Transcript

I want Governor Mark Dayton to allow these people who are licensed to carry to have more rights. If we are able to bear, carry, licensed to carry, then a police officer should not be able to gun a man down for no reason. Also, I would like for him to get more involved in these police officers. They have mental problems. They have battles that they're fighting, so when they're coming out here to serve and protect, they're not serving and protecting us because they're damaged from all the past, the previous people they done killed. Pulled over what allegedly was supposed to be a broken tail light.

When he let us know that we had a broken tail light, he asked us were we aware of it. We said no. As we said no, he tells us to put our hands in the air. We have our hands in the air. At the time- Why would your hands need to be in the air? At the time as our hands is in the is in the air, he asks for license and registration. And my boyfriend carries all his information in a thick wallet in his right side back pocket. As he's reaching for his back pocket wallet, he lets the officer know, officer I have a firearm on me. I begin to yell, but he's licensed to carry. After that, he began to take off shots.

[ NOISE ] Don't move. Don't move. But how can you not move when you're asking for license and registration? It's either you want my hands in the air or you want my information and my identification. He was never a bad man. He never did He never did anything to hurt anyone. He was the quietest, most laid- back person you will ever meet. He was loving, so even for the police to take him away, nothing within his body language said intimidation. Nothing within his body said. Shoot me. Nothing within his body language said kill me, I want to be dead. He did not do nothing but what the police officer asked of us.

Which was to put your hands in the air and get your license and registration. [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
