Uncensored. Amir Locke is fatally shot by Mark Hanneman, a special police task force member.

• Since taking office, Mark Hanneman had been the subject of three disciplinary cases, all of which were dismissed without further action 
• Amir Locke, 22, was sleeping on a couch before he was shot by police officer Mark Hanneman.
• Mark Hanneman was a police officer in his hometown of Hutchinson, Minnesota, before joining the MPD. 

Amir Locke was fatally shot by a Minneapolis Police Department special operations team while executing a search warrant.

Minneapolis police lied in their police report that Amir Locke pointed a gun at them before officers shot him.

You can never trust a police statement or report.

Unless you see video, you have to assume that police officers are lying because they do it so often. Let's review the lies of the Minneapolis Police Department regarding the shooting and killing of Amir Locke.

The first lie was that Locke was a suspect. Locke was not even on the warrant they served.

The police report said that they announced themselves clearly and loudly when they entered the house. They were loud, but there were several police officers yelling and screaming. Imagine if you were asleep and ten men burst through your door screaming at 6 a.m. - would your brain be able to process what was happening?

The cops said Locke pointed the gun at them, when it's clear Locke had the gun pointed down and didn't even have a chance to point it at anyone before they shot him.

If it wasn't for the bodycam footage, they could have gotten away with this murder.

This is murder, but don't be shocked if they get away with it, because they always do.

Turn the page to see the lies and the video of the shooting.

Mark Hanneman joined the Minneapolis Police Department in July 2015 after five years as a police officer in his hometown of Hutchinson, Minn. according to public records and his personnel file released Friday by Minneapolis officials.

Since joining the Minneapolis Police Department, Hanneman has worked various shifts downtown and in the city's southeast and northwest neighborhoods. He has also served several temporary assignments in Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) since late 2019.

Who Is Mark Hanneman

Hannemans History

Hannemann was on SWAT duty for three days when he shot Locke. His SWAT deployment was to last until Feb. 26, but he was placed on paid administrative leave after the shooting.

Attempts to reach Hanneman on Friday were unsuccessful. According to his records and online documents, his work and academic background focused on law enforcement, including a recent study for a master's degree in criminal justice leadership at Concordia University in St. Paul.

His Concordia senior thesis, published in February 2021, was titled "The Delicate Balance: Police in Our Schools." The topic was timely: after George Floyd was killed in police custody in May 2020, Minneapolis Public Schools fired the police officers who were assigned as School Resource Officers (SROs) in their buildings.

Hanneman wrote that given the reality of "overcriminalization," school officials must carefully consider how their actions will affect students.

"We must now employ strategies to evaluate every policing interaction within the school based on a variety of factors," he wrote, "which will ensure that the mission of SROs to engage, educate and enforce is truly fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

He dedicated the 47-page paper to his wife and children, saying it was written "during an incredibly tumultuous time in our lives."

Hanneman started at MPD on Aug. 10, 2015, with a salary of $28.31 per hour. His MPD file shows three complaints against him that were closed in 2016, 2017 and 2020 without disciplinary action. Details were not provided.

When he was still in Hutchinson in 2012, Hanneman was among six officers in a narcotics training class who refused to be interviewed by State Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigators who were looking into whether one of them had given marijuana to an Occupy Minnesota protester.

According to BCA documents, Hanneman was not charged with any wrongdoing, and Hennepin County District Attorney Mike Freeman declined to file charges, citing conflicting testimony.

Years before joining the MPD, Hanneman was already on his way to a career in law enforcement. After graduating from Hutchinson High School in 2005, he attended the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities for a semester before transferring to South Dakota State University in Brookings. He graduated from SDSU in May 2008 with a major in sociology and a minor in criminal justice.

According to the resume on his MPD application, Hanneman was employed as a student officer with the SDSU Campus Police Department from September 2006 until his graduation. During the summer of 2007, he worked as a parking enforcement officer for the city of Hutchinson.

He supplemented his bachelor's degree with additional training in law enforcement at Alexandria Technical and Community College. There, he completed 432 hours of training and received his diploma in July 2009.

Hanneman began working as a police officer in Hutchinson in February 2010. According to his application, he began working as a dispatcher in the Hutchinson department in June 2008.

In his MPD application, Hanneman stated he was a member of the Hutchinson department's "Special Response Team," which he compared to the SWAT team.

"I am certified as a base operator and my primary role on the team is entry level. I have taken a ballistic shield course and have deployed with a shield on team missions," he wrote in 2015.

Before college, he worked as an assistant manager at the CineMagic Theater in his hometown for three years starting in February 2004, according to his application.

Hanneman also mentioned volunteering at the RiverSong Music Festival in Hutchinson, where he coordinated "sound, stage and lighting" as chair of the engineering committee.
