The Flint shooting comes only days after Joe Biden signed legislation, declaring June 19 as Juneteenth National Independence Day: Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed.
The officer wasn’t injured, and no bystanders were hurt in the shooting, which happened about 2:14 p.m. Saturday on Saginaw Street near Leith Street. The Michigan State Police will be investigating the incident at the request of the Flint Police Department.
