Before the facts are known, Ilhan Omar blames cops for shooting black man cops say shot first

Minneapolis -- Rep. Ilhan Omar's (D-MN) default button is to blame the cops or white people in general whenever there is an incident involving them and people of color or people who share her Islamic background.

Minneapolis police shot and killed 23-year-old Dolal Idd on Wednesday according to ABC News. The incident occurred in the same neighborhood were George Floyd died at the hands of police and people are looking for answers. Apparently, Omar already "knows" the reason for the shooting and puts the blame fully on the police in spite of her not being there or seeing the evidence for what happened.

Omar called the shooting a "state sanctioned murder."

"A man was killed, his family terrorized & robbed of a son and all they are left w/ is more questions than answers," the Minnesota congresswoman who married her own brother tweeted. "Let's stop normalizing + justifying state sanctioned murder by those who take an oath to uphold the law."

Normalizing? How in the world did Omar come up with that thought? Anytime a person of color is killed by police, whether that person poses a physical threat or not, the leftist media is all over it.

Justifying? Yes, if a person is about to attack a cop with a weapon and the cop's life is in danger, he or she has the right to defend themselves. 

Police had body cam on and you can see what happened below. Caution, violent content:

It seems clear that Idd fired first but to Omar and her ilk, that doesn't matter.

According to Minneapolis law enforcement, who have since released brief footage from one of the officers involved in the fatal shooting, police officers only shot and killed Idd after he fired on officers first.

The reason the cops stopped Idd was because he was a suspect in a felony gun investigation. You would think leftists who oppose gun ownership would certainly have been on board with stopping someone for illegal guns. And after the incident, a gun was found in the car.

Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said that officers on the scene, nearby witnesses, and the released body cam footage confirm that Idd shot first. 

What would Omar have the police do? Leave the guy alone? Perhaps she would suggest that a social worker would have done a better job by talking to the man to get him to stop shooting at them.

"When I viewed the video that everyone else is viewing... it appears that the individual inside the vehicle fired his weapon at the vehicle first," Arradondo said, according to ABC News.

Still, Idd's family is demanding answers. I suggest they look at the video.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is heading up the investigation into the incident.
