Top federal prosecutors in Minnesota have resigned after the Department of Justice pushed to investigate the widow of Renee Good and rebuffed an investigation into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who fatally shot her last week.

Veteran prosecutor Joseph Thompson, who was previously appointed by Donald Trump to serve as Minnesota’s acting U.S. attorney and first assistant U.S. attorney, had overseen a sprawling fraud investigation at the center of the president’s surge of federal law enforcement officers in the state.

Smart move!
 
Genius move... (She should be a part of the investigation... After all she gave the directive that led to her wife's death... And she admitted that it was her fault that they were there to begin with....)

That is not the question.

it is STANDARD in any such officer related death, where there are claims by the city or state that the officer may have improperly used force that the Feds would investigate their own, and if that means they find 'no issues' fine.

In this instance the DoJ instantly said they would not investigate nor participate in any investigation of the ICE officer meaning they are just DETERMING via their summary judgment with no investigation that he did nothing wrong.

Declaring that while saying 'but we will investigate the widow' shows an enormous summary bias that we will only try to find crime on one side and not the other.

An ethical DoJ official would quit over that.

The thing about murder, there is no statute of limitations. When this administration is gone, he can be charged.

These are the hardest cases to bring and succeed on because the jury has to put themselves in the officers place and try to determine that there was no reasonable way he was 'afraid' and took action based on that.

The question is not 'was he correct' and just if he acted in what was a 'reasonable fear TO HIM'.

But that said the State should bring their version of these charges now and even let it play thru the courts as seeing those State charges and the risk they pose, might be the only thing that makes these rouge ICE officers think twice. Right now they feel unleashed and untouchable and they are exhibiting all the worst aspects of giving officers the feeling of unlimited, untouchable power.

You see it in how they lie in so many of their arrest reports claiming things like 'the person rammed our vehicle' and then withdraw it when video comes out showing no such thing happened and ICE rammed their vehicle with no reason. But they feel they can lie in every case and then only withdraw the ones where there is proof they are lying but then keep pushing the rest of lies.

Yes, maybe the first shot, but the following two shots are what will get him, especially if one of them is the kill shot.
