Minneapolis: MPD officer takes down, arrests man at Aldi; case is now dismissed
https://www.kare11.com/article/news/crime/video-shows-minneapolis-police-department-officer-grab-take-down-man-at-aldi/89-f5867266-aa25-49cf-a255-167ddf08dd1cMINNEAPOLIS — A video showing a Minneapolis police officer grab a man inside an Aldi store before taking him down to the floor and later arresting him outside, now has nearly 90,000 views since it was posted on Instagram Wednesday.
Public Information Officer Garrett Parten says the 64-year-old man was arrested and booked for "obstruct legal process with force," a misdemeanor, and the Office of Police Conduct Review is evaluating the matter.
"Department policy and training continues to emphasize the importance of de-escalation efforts to stabilize and resolve situations when safe and feasible," Parten said.
The nearly five-minute video at the store on 14th Avenue South and East Franklin Avenue begins mid-exchange with the man saying, "Don't put your hands on me." The uniformed officer then says, "You're out," while grabbing the man's jacket and taking him down to the floor within around 15 seconds.
