Blevins
cont’d from pg 6
cup. The videos showed
a bottle in Blevins’ hand.
Blevins’ death prompt-
ed earlier demonstra-
tions and community
advocates
demanded
transparency and urged
the swift release of body
camera footage. Min-
neapolis Mayor Jacob
Frey said Blevins’ family
viewed the video about
an hour before it was re-
leased publicly. He called
Blevins’ death “tragic,”
but declined to com-
ment on what the footage
showed.
“I know that right now
in our city there’s a lot
of pain,” he said. “Pain in
many cases that I cannot
understand.”
Blevins’ relatives pre-
viously called for both
officers to face criminal
charges . They renewed
that call Monday, and
also called for the offi-
cers to be fired.
