this is "nightline." >> tonight, botched raid. another black man killed by minneapolis police. >> i want the police officer that murdered my son to be prosecuted and fired. >> a community demanding justice for amir locke. >> there is nothing the minneapolis police can say that will justify their actions on that day. >> why some say it's time to ban a controversial police practice. plus joe rogan under fire again. >> the most regretful and shameful thing that i've ever had to talk about publicly. thinking time for repeatedly using a racial slur. but grammy winner indy

had enough. and platinum jubilee. queen list marking a major milestone. what she is wishing for camilla. but first, the "nightline 5." number one in just 60 seconds.

there are some days that nothing can prepare you for. but being ready— it's about how you react. so when new challenges come up, you find a new way forward. when you meet other people facing what you faced, you start a business dedicated to helping them. and after you've achieved all that, you take on what's next.

good evening. thank you for joining us. minneapolis police once again facing some tough questions and demands for justice after the shooting of black man in an apartment during the execution of a no-knock warrant. >> amir meant joy. amir was amazing. amir meant everything. >> a parent's love shattered. >> amir was loved. >> in just seconds, karen welles and andre locke lost their son, amir locke, the 22-year-old killed by minneapolis police executing what's called a no-knock search warrant at an apartment last wednesday morning. >> i want him to be the voice and to get rid of no-knock warrants. so that no one else has to be executed by a police officer

just because they were sleeping on a couch. >> the incident occurring just three miles from where george floyd was murdered by police two years ago, setting off a national reckoning of police officers' use of force against black people. now protesters taking to the streets once more, demanding justice. >> no-knock warrants have deadly consequences for innocent black people in america. amir locke should not have been killed just as much as the bullets from the police gun killed amir locke, the policy of executing no-knock warrants killed amir locke. >> minneapolis had restricted its use of no-knock warrants following floyd's death, which authorizes law enforcement to enter a place or home without first announcing their presence and purpose. >> so a no-knock warrant is somewhat unusual nowadays, and they have to be looked at with a

very high bar. >> around 6:48 a.m. last wednesday, minneapolis police using a key raided the apartment locke was staying in, looking for a homicide suspect. >> police! >> police released this 14 seconds of video from one body camera which shows locke on a couch under a blanket. he appears to have been sleeping, and you can see he is holding a handgun before an officer fires at him. in just seconds of police entering the apartment, locke was shot dead. >> i want the police officer that murdered my son to be prosecuted and fired. >> this was a wholly incident with this young man. >> robert boyce, the former chief of detectives for the new york city police department said while amir's death is tragic, he believes the authorities behaved

lawfully. >> clearly you can hear police search warrant, police search warrant. and a gun came out of a blanket where you couldn't even see who amir was at that point. so it's a dangerous situation, it really was. and unfortunately this young man is gone. >> chief, we all know law enforcement officers are human beings. human beings are not perfect. but in your line of work, when the stakes are so incredibly high, don't you almost have to be perfect in those situations? i mean, this was a -- we know at this point a law-abiding citizen who had a right to own a gun, who had a right to defend himself if this crazy threat comes upon him, that if he is sound asleep, he may not have heard "police, police." >> that is true. we will never know what was in his mind. it's a terrible feeling when you shoot an innocent person. >> locke's family said amir had a license and conceal carry permit for the gun which they say he was using as protection, part because he worked as a food delivery driver.

>> my son spoke to both of his parents before he even thought about purchasing a firearm. and he knows about the laws. he researched everything. very intelligent on amir's part before he even purchased the kind of gun that he wanted. and he made sure that it was licensed with a permit. >> police say the no-knock warrant was part of a homicide investigation. locke was not named in the warrant. mark hannon and the officer who shot and killed locke is on paid administrative leave. the shooting is now under investigation by the state and county. last week interim police chief amelia huffman said hanneman had to make a split second decision. >> to assess the circumstances and determine whether there was an an level of threat, that the threat was of imminent harm, great bodily harm or death, and that he needed to take action right then to protect himself and his partners.

>> i was completely outraged and also deeply hurt when i saw the video. >> nikima levy armstrong is a civil rights attorney in the twin cities. she was active during the george floyd protests and sees this as another call to action. >> they didn't even give him a chance to wake up. hey didn't give a command to drop the gun or anything. it was reckless police work. and a big part of why this happened is because they saw a black face underneath those covers. >> that's a strong statement. >> yes. it's the truth from my perspective. how many white men have we seen shoot up movie theaters, shoot up schools, shoot up churches and able to be apprehended alive? >> i'm not a threat. i don't have a gun. >> reporter: levy armstrong recently interrupted a news conference saying they're whitewashing the investigation. >> this is unacceptable. i'm sorry. >> now the minneapolis police

department and the mayor need to be held accountable for what they have done and the attempted cover-up, which we will not stand for. >> you paint a picture of minneapolis being a tale of two very different city, one for white people and one for black people. >> mayor jacob frey issued a temporary moratorium on no-knock warrants shortly after the shooting, and the city council picked up the issue today. >> the tragic police murder of breonna taylor should have been a wake-up call for minneapolis, and it should have been a wake-up call for the entire nation. >> say her name. >> breonna taylor! >> breonna taylor's death in 2020 sparked months of protests all across the country. she was killed by police in a no-knock raid in louisville, kentucky. >> who else is in the apartment? nobody. my girlfriend is dead. >> law enforcement did obtain a no knock warrant to enter taylor's hem as part of a drug investigation, although taylor was not a suspect. but officers say they did

announce themselves first. her boyfriend says he never heard that announcement. another high profile no-knock raid in 2019 pitted officers against anjanette young young was naked when officers barged into her home. >> this is not right. >> i was scared into compliance. i just did what they said to me because i was afraid if i did anything or made any moves, that they would shoot me. >> the botched raid ended up costing the city of chicago nearly three million in a settlement to young. >> there's no amount of money that will right this wrong. >> young recently spoke to cbs mornings. >> i would have been more satisfied if all 12 officers had got fired and i didn't receive a dime. >> amir locke's parents agree. life will never be the same. >> he was a beautiful baby boy. he was very respectful and

caring. everybody that came in contact with him, loved him. >> now they want some measure of justice against the officer who killed him. >> after seeing that video of my son being executed, at this time i would like to see him fired. >> this mother and father will keep fighting, no matter how long it takes. >> we were overwhelmed with relief just seeing how many people cared. >> brought me some comfort to know that people that don't even know our son amir locke, they actually really genuinely care about him. up next, spotify star joe rogan is in the middle of another controversy. why the company is standing by him. people everywhere living with type 2 diabetes are waking up to what's possible... with rybelsus®. the majority of people taking rybelsus® lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than 7. rybelsus® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't take rybelsus® if you or your family

joe rogan once again under fire, this time over his repeated use of a racial slur. the spotify star apologizing, but some are saying that's not enough. here is abc's janai norman. >> i'm making this video the talk about the most regretful and shameful thing that i've ever had the talk about publicly. >> for the second time in a week, joe rogan, the number one spotify podcaster with 11 million listeners per episode has some explaining to do. >> i never used it to be racist because i'm not racist. but whenever you're in a situation where you have to say "i'm not racist," you [ bleep ] up. >> start calling him [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. thinking time under fire for a video that has gone viral that

edited together rogan using a racial slur more than 20 times on his podcast spanning a little over ten years. >> saying the word [ bleep ]. >> you've already said [ bleep ], [ bleep ]. >> the controversial podcaster taking to instagram and apologizing for using the slur, but adding the videos were from years ago. >> it's a video that's made of clips taken out of context of me of 12 years of conversations on my podcast. and it's all smushed together. now i know that to most people, there is no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word. and i agree with that now. i haven't said it in years. >> it is now up to the audience to decide whether or not they are going to accept that apology. certainly it's a fiscal decision that spotify is making by choosing not to step away from joe rogan. >> spotify removing more than 100 episodes of "the joe rogan

experience." and in an internal memo to staff obtained by abc news, ceo daniel ek apologizing, saying he is deeply sorry and adding i do not believe that silencing joe is the answer. we should have clear lines around content and take action when they're crossed, but cancelling voices is a slippery slope. >> the spotify ceo's statement clearly has underlying language that is appeasing a certain audience while patronizing another. there is no rationalization around the repeated use of a very offensive word. so his statement is a clear acceptance of joe rogan's behavior. >> rogan's popularity cannot be understated. his flippant attitude and irreverent curiosity has earned a cult-like following. in may 2020, he landed an exclusive deal with spotify worth more than $100 million,

one of the first of its kind for the medium, catapulting his show to the number one podcast in the world. >> the ways of dealing with controversies like this in the past and recently have been very awkward. clearly, spotify has to address this in some way. it's problematic. and it's going to catch up. at a certain point users are just going the say enough. >> if you're there and you are offending so many people, are you being rewarded for your bad behavior? >> four-time grammy award winning singer-songwriter india.arie is beth known for her song "video." ♪ it really just depends on what feels good in my soul ♪ . >> now she is among the growing number of artists pulling her music and podcasts from spotify. >> this is about me standing up for my dignity. >> india.arie posting on her instagram saying she finds

rogan's language around race to be problematic, and pointing to what she calls an issue of pay inequity for artists. >> and while your intellectual property is the backbone of this company, they pay him, but they don't pay you. for me, it's a little bit more about spotify. >> joe rogan and the controversy around him, that was all just the breaking point for you with your relationship with spotify? >> yes. joe rogan is not the reason i want my music pulled off. he is the final reason. we want to be paid for our intellectual property and the money that it generates in proportion to what we generate. we've been wanting to be paid fairly as working musicians. black music is trend-setting. black music gets the most spins on spotify. >> spotify has to decide whether they want joe rogan to remain a part of their corporate dna, and if so, they will have to also expect the liability that that partnership has now brought to

their stakeholders and shareholders alike. >> it's been a tumultuous start of the new year for rogan and spotify. >> i'm sorry. >> just last week, rogan addressing an entirely different controversy. >> the podcast has been accused of spreading dangerous misinformation. >> after 76-year-old harvest moon singer neil young held rogan and his employer spotify's feet to the fire for allowing the host and his guests to spread what young says is rampant misinformation about covid-19 and the vaccine. >> the consumers and the creatives who share the platform with joe rogan are clearly saying in defiance that we would rather lose revenue than be aligned with the values and statements made by joe rogan. >> i am in no position to tell spotify not to have joe rogan. i don't believe in cancel

culture. i don't want to be there while he is doing what he is doing. >> india.arie says ultimately companies like spotify will have to decide what they value in their content creators, and that will decide who stays and who goes. >> our thanks to janai. up next, the major milestone for britain's queen elizabeth. i've got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi. ♪ things are getting clearer ♪ ♪ i feel free ♪ ♪ to bare my skin, yeah, that's all me ♪ ♪ nothing and me go hand in hand ♪ ♪ nothing on my skin, that's my new plan ♪ ♪ nothing is everything ♪ achieve clearer skin with skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months. of those, nearly 9 out of 10 sustained it through 1 year. and skyrizi is 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. ♪ i see nothing in a different way ♪ ♪ it's my moment so i just gotta say ♪ ♪ nothing is everything ♪ skyrizi may increase your risk of infections
