Several years ago a Minneapolis cop was driving in a neighborhood that is laid out in a grid with lots of stop signs.

Frazier’s family says they want the officer of that squad car fired. The officer behind the wheel was Brian Cummings, who is now on administrative paid leave.
…
The family is not only demanding that Cummings be fired immediately, they also want Attorney General Keith Ellison to take over the case.
“There are people who want to be dismissive because there wasn’t a knee to the neck or there wasn’t a gunshot wound, yet what we see in this case is someone minding their own business and not even be able to make it safely to their destination because of the reckless conduct of the Minneapolis Police department,” said Civil Rights Attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong.
Attorneys Ben Crump and Jeff Storms will represent Frazier’s family in a lawsuit against the MPD. Crump also represented the family of George Floyd.
