" About an hour later, three blocks to the west, they opened the sliding door of the van and began firing plastic rounds at people in a parking lot.
They hit Jaleel K. Stallings, 29, a St. Paul truck driver, who says he didn't know they were cops because they were inside an unmarked white cargo van with the police lights off. He thought they were real bullets. And, he says he was mindful of warnings earlier that day from no less than Gov. Tim Walz that white supremacists were roaming the city looking for trouble.
Stallings, an Army veteran, returned fire with his mini Draco pistol, for which he had a permit. He aimed low, toward the front of the van, and didn't hit anyone. When the SWAT team jumped out of the van yelling, "Shots fired!" Stallings realized they were police. So he dropped his weapon and lay face down on the pavement, according to court documents."
"A Hennepin County jury recently acquitted Stallings of all charges after he was allowed by a judge to claim self-defense.
