A white Minneapolis man was charged with attempted murder Thursday after allegedly shooting his Black neighbor in the neck for touching a tree following an ongoing dispute, but the failure of police to arrest the suspect has angered city council members. The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office filed charges against John Herbert Sawchak in connection with the Wednesday shooting of Davis Moturi.
“To be frank, the officers, however, are scared. They’re scared of being prosecuted if they get into a situation where they make a mistake trying to do their job and protect the public,” the police chief said at the news conference. Last year, the Minneapolis Police Department was at the center of a federal investigation that was launched in the wake of the 2020 murder of George Floyd.
