There’s growing concern and speculation that the recent murders and bodies found of Black men dumped in north Minneapolis alleys might have another story far to complicated and upsetting to prove. So far, no suspects or arrests have developed in the last several homicides over two-weeks. The breaking story about Mr. Mario Booker puts another spin on a conspiracy that this could be more than just Black-on-Black crime in north Minneapolis.

November 24, 2012…Breaking News – Radio program Black Politics in Minneapolis – ON POINT and civil rights activist Ronald A. Edwards broke the story about a November 20, 2012 incident involving Minneapolis Police officers and the beating of African-American Mario Booker. This happened right outside of north Minneapolis in the city of Robbinsdale (Robbinsdale is a city in Hennepin County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 13,953 at the 2010 census).

Booker was beat into a coma and needed extensive facial reconstruction. His family and attorney Mike Padden report he’s out of the coma but still in critical condition. Booker remains in guarded condition at North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale. A source who wished not to be identified said, “If the a citizen who was leaving the house heading to work had not been there, Booker could of been another unsolved homicide.

IBNN is awaiting further details about the beating and will have an update as soon as information is available
