DailyKenn.com — A 32-year-old black male identified as Winston Boogie Smith, Jr. was fatally shot by federal police in Minneapolis. The shooting gave urban savages a convenient excuse to run amok, riot, and loot several retail stores including a left-leaning Target.

• The 'defund the police' movement is viewed by many as an effort to replace local police with federal police. However, as seen in the Boogie fatality, federal police will also use deadly force as needed.
On Thursday afternoon, members of a U.S. Marshals task force attempted to arrest a man who was wanted on a warrant for gun possession, according to a statement by a Hennepin County Sheriff's Department spokesperson sent to Reuters.
The spokesperson said that the suspect, "who was in a parked car, failed to comply and produced a handgun resulting in task force members firing upon the subject."
The officers attempted to revive the suspect, but paramedics declared him dead at the scene. A woman who was in the car with the suspect at the time of the shooting suffered minor injuries after glass shattered.
The authorities have not yet named the victim, but social media users alleged that the man was 32-year-old Winston Boogie Smith, Jr., according to the Twitter account @CrimeWatchMpls.
