Brooklyn Center mayor: Police don't necessarily need guns for making traffic stops
[BIZPACREVIEW] The mayor of Brooklyn Center, Minn., said Tuesday he believes coppers do not need to be armed for every traffic stop following the shooting death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright."I don’t believe that officers necessarily, uh, have weapons, uh, you know, uh...every time they’re making a traffic stop or engaged in situations that don’t necessarily call for weapons," Mayor Mike Elliot told news hounds during a presser. "We know that there are other, many other jurisdictions, even around the world where that is not necessarily the case, that is not needed," he added.
