The Rev. Jerry McAfee, the pastor of North Minneapolis, who made impending statements for members of the city council of Minneapolis last month, could receive a new one-year city contract of almost $ 650,000 in order to interrupt violence.
The situation became more complicated on Friday when one of the 21 days of the Peace Peace worker from McAfee was arrested by Minnesota Star Tribune, where he was shot, said that he was arrested in North Minneapolis due to an incident in North Minneapolis.
According to a police report, the 35-year-old man shot back when he was shot after helping to serve a 21-day peace meal near the 36th and Penn Avenue. He was wearing a bulletproof vest, said McAfee and hit balls after the people came out behind bushes and started peace work on 21 days.
McAfee said that violent disorders that work for the city must not be armed. But they worked on a state contract, had signed off for the day and the man wore a legal firearm, he said. McAfee said he went with him on Friday to give the police an explanation, and the violent interruption was in prison.
“I know he shot back, but let me ask you a question: If someone shoots you, beats you and you have a weapon, what will you do?” Said McAfee.
McAfees Salem Inc. is now on a list of six non -profit organizations that have been selected according to a program called Minneapolus by the safety of violent interruptions. The one -year contracts have a two -year extension option, but first have to receive the city council's approval, which should lead to an interesting debate in view of McAfee's comments in the last month.
