A St. Paul man has been acquitted on all charges in a jury trial stemming from an incident where he shot at Minneapolis police officers in self-defense last summer.
Court records show 28-year-old Jaleel Stallingswas acquitted on Wednesday of multiple charges, including two counts of attempted second-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault, second-degree riot and intentional discharge of a firearm that endangers safety.
Stallings claimed self-defense in court.
The incident happened days after the murder of George Floyd by then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. According to the original complaint, officers were allegedly patrolling near 15th Avenue South and Lake Street on May 30, 2020. When officers reached the area of 14th Avenue South, they witnessed a group of people that allegedly dispersed upon seeing police. Police then got out of an unmarked white van, wearing full uniforms and Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) gear. Officers involved were assigned to deploy “non-lethal” rounds to “attempt to disperse crowds” as a curfew was in effect at the time.

In the right and still get the sh*t kicked out of you.
Unmarked vehicle, they got what they deserve and should never have treated the self defender the way they did.
They could literally had beaten him to death and got away with it, thank the universe higher power that he lives and came free from this. I cannot describe how bad these cops made themselves look, it's terrorfying.
To the cop that was doing the beating. As a FREE American I have something for you. You "piece of shit" watch your back 🔫
yeah you and james are miss interpreting the correct title: "man gets beat to near death after surrender…"
When they randomly shoot citizens…we fire back….anybody in they're right mine would protect against a drive by .. even if it's police and they had no time to determine that
That'll teach you to stop being a tyrant next time you won't get away so easily in your unmarked gangster van rolling up on people like thugs
Cops are out of control. we would be better off policing ourselves. These cop are just money hungry pirates.
I hope those cops were charged! That’s insanity driving around in unmarked van shooting at people and not expecting to get shot back at.
Yeah, I guess 4 people together is a "crowd." Looks like he has a lawsuit to file for the beating they also gave him for daring to defend himself.
That deserved the ambush…ss baken
Those cops should be executed, called him a piece of shit for defending himself and kicked and man on the ground, maybe shooting cops who break the law should be encouraged
Justice! I have always been against the cops using unmarked vehicles. Cops should always be identifiable.
Do they teach beating a suspect at the academy? FFS If we don't stop this we're phucked.
When is it enough to reach the masses? 🤷🤦
That guy who got acquitted for shooting at the cops his best bet is move far away from Minneapolis because the cops will make that man's life a living hell which I guarantee that plotting some type of retaliation which they make a point that he is going to pay which I see one of two scenarios would happen. 1. The best case scenario would be they would try to jam him up on trumped up bullshit charge that would send him to prison for a long time which they would try for a life sentence. 2. The worst case scenario would be them trying to kill him which they would chalk it up as a drug related homicide or a cold case homicide that would become unsolved
Should have had an AK and drum mag dumped those psy thug tyrants
Go and watch the version James Freemen uploaded. You believe the lies they tell about how the man “resisted†after they beat him to a pulp
SMH..
That'll teach him not to miss next time.
Not only was he in the right to protect himself once he seen it was possibly cops he stopped layed down threw his gun outta reach and they still came up and started beating this man we need more info this man needs all the support we can give him
I'm glad that they were acquitted of those charges.
Government will investigate themselves and find nothing wrong as always. God forbid you pesky peasants do anything wrong though…
what the fuck were they doing just roaming around shooting at people because they were outside? that is definitely not what cops are for. not sure what the hell these cops were thinking. if theyre not called to the scene they need to stop overreaching like this.
Love how theyre driving around shooting at ppl then get shot at abd say how the other guybis the pos.. just genius
Total a$$hat kicking and punching him. He needs to be charged and have as his sentence, being castrated and spending the rest of his life in Federal A$$ Pounding Prison with BUBBA……
crazy how they approach the man on the ground and kick him in his head multiple times immediately, and then continue to punch him when 3 officers are already on him, smfh, they said “ you piece of shitâ€, just cause he shot back in self defense, the officer that kicks him in his head kicked his gun away, that guy should be in jail for the rest of his life smfh piece of shit
Why did he feel the need to kick him in the head the man was lying face down and didn’t move at all
