Federal officers fired tear gas to disperse early-morning protesters as outrage mounted in Minneapolis over the killing of a 37-year-old woman in her vehicle.
It’s time to treat ICE as the organized criminal organization that it is
Obstruction of justice say what?
That’s all trump did in his first term, besides giving trillions to billionaires. Nothing happened.
They aren’t Trump
No they’re Trump’s puppets
“Without complete access to the evidence, witnesses and information collected, we cannot meet the investigative standards that Minnesota law and the public demand."
This is gaslighting by cowardly state officials. If you can get official records great. But they are not necessary. You have countless eye witnesses and multiple angles of video recording the murder. You don’t refuse to prosecute gang hits because you don’t have access to official cartel records. No different with ICE.
This is bullshit stonewalling by cowards in state office who are afraid to hold the powerful accountable.
I imagine without access to all to data, it can give the opportunity for the defense to call for a mistrial.
He’s was also on ‘official duty’, so the administration is trying to push it out of MN’s system by saying she was the aggressor who attempted to kill him. (If he was killed, it would be instantly out of MN’s hands)
I bet they threaten more politicians families. And they folded.
so don’t use the evidence they aren’t giving you and use what you can get. the public videos and statements from witnesses should be enough.
Get dat unprotected Flock data
Have the PD arrest the dude… oh wait ACAB
Hoisted by our own petard!
What do you mean by “can’t access the evidence”? Can someone send this MF a Lemmy link with the video?
We did it
RedditLemmy!They probably dont have access to the gun, brass, or maybe even bullets lodged in the victim or vehicle. Those, along with crime scene photographs, would usually be presented at trial.
They may not even have a positive id on the shooter, since they hide behind masks - they know what they’re doing is criminal
They mean the feds are keeping out the state/local police.
So they can cover it up.
I wouldn’t let them investigate either, if I was trying to cover up a murder.
I think the world’s gov’ts that are trending authoritarian will get the data centers they need to sift thru everyone’s internet history and kill/imprison/deport those who disagree with them politically. I have a hard time believing they won’t go with the kill option bc it’s more economic. So, bye!!! See ya next life!!!
It’s the final solution
So stop investigating, take the material you have, which is enough to put the murderer into prison.
So conduct your own investigation you twits.
Right, right, and, uh, what was that agent’s name agian? Uh, just so we know not to investigate it. (“*snkk* Shutup! shutup”)
Ah, yeah I got a pen. Go ahead.States’ rights!
(To murder innocent civilians).
ICE is federal
I was trying to be clever, as in the state has a monopoly on violence.
Kinda missed though ngl.
Ah I see what you were going for, it’s a good joke
Because from the federal perspective: You chose non-cooperation. You publicly denounced the agency involved. Your mayor effectively said ICE shouldn’t be here. So the federal response becomes: You don’t get to opt out and opt in when it suits you.
The federal response makes perfect sense.
