An eyewitness to the whole affair took a video of the confrontation and informed the officers that the youths had been threatened by another party, one of whom apparently made the 911 call. The youth were put in a squad car, but rather than driven home, were let out on the street. Their parents were never contacted and the boys weren’t charged.
Officer Mathew Ryan was eventually suspended for two days for his part in the arrest. Police body cam footage of the incident was released. Each of the boys will receive $40,000 from the city and $10,000 will go to the Council of American-Islamic Relations Minnesota (CAIR-MN).
