Mom Shot At By Man Killed By Police Crashes Protest: ‘Is He Not A Bad Guy?
In a dramatic scene caught on video outside the apartment complex where Sundberg, 20, was killed, an anguished woman identified as Arabella Yarbrough, 24, demanded to know why Sundberg was deemed a “good guy” all of the sudden. She accused Sundberg, who lived in the same complex, of nearly killing her and her children in the incident last week.
“I have black children,” she shouted over a protest leader who was using a megaphone to rally a small crowd gathered outside some apartments. “I’m a woman of color. If I would’ve lost my life, would you guys do this for me?”

The Sundbergs told reporters they don’t believe police would have shot one of their white biological children in the same situation.
“Everyone knows had it been a white person in that building they would have talked him out, they would have waited,” said Cindy Sundberg, who has nine children total with her husband, Mark.
Protesters on Saturday demanded that the police release video from the incident. The Minneapolis City Attorney’s Office is reviewing the body camera footage of the shooting. It will be shown to the family first before it is released to the public.
