Minneapolis police release body cam footage from Thurman Blevins shooting

Minneapolis police have released body cam footage of the moment a black man was shot from behind while running from police. The death of 31-year-old Thurman Blevins ignited a familiar debate around police violence in his community, where family members have called for the officers involved to be prosecuted. The incident is under investigation by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, but Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey released the body cam footage early, under pressure from Minneapolis residents and all 13 city council members.
