Davis Moturi lay awake in bed last October, eyes on the ceiling, unable to shake the burning image of his neighbor pointing a gun directly at him through the bedroom window.
The week before, that neighbor — a white man named John Sawchak — had brandished a large knife from his own upstairs window next door, where he often tracked Moturi. Sawchak had screamed racial slurs at Moturi, who is Black, threatening to kill him.
…
He had been calling the police, pleading with them to do something for a year now, but they said they couldn’t do anything if Sawchak didn’t come outside. One officer suggested the couple move out, which Moturi later learned was what a Black family who previously lived in their house did, facing similar threats and no relief from the police.
…
… days later, Moturi was shot while trimming a tree in his front yard. It took the police about five days after that to arrest Sawchak.
…
MPR News combed through court documents and spent hours with Moturi, as he continues to recover from a year of torment police apparently couldn’t stop until after the trigger was pulled.
Lmao, at 2 minutes, he legit lays out why the police is too pussy ass bitch to do their job
If the shooter was black they would have sent the SWAT team within an hour. I can’t believe the chief was saying this shit out loud. “We knocked on the door, he didn’t answer, there was nothing we could do.”
