FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. — A woman who watched as a police officer fatally shot her boyfriend during a traffic stop streamed the gruesome aftermath of the slaying live on Facebook, telling a worldwide audience that her companion had been shot "for no apparent reason" while reaching for his wallet.
Within hours, the Minnesota governor was pressing for the Justice Department to open its second investigation of the week into the death of a black man at the hands of police.
"Nobody should be shot and killed in Minnesota for a tail light being out of function," Democrat Mark Dayton said. "Would this have happened if those passengers would have been white? I don't think it would have."
