They have enough evidence in the videos. Can’t the court just get it on with that evidence alone? It’s not as if there was anything terribly unclear about the case.
I mean, if i was a prosecutor I’d show the video and say “you can see here she was clearly serving away from the officer who discharged his gun several times into the deceased. He was never in danger for his life. She was not a clear and imminent threat to others. Should she have done what she did? Should she run from the cops? Should she have listened and stopped? Those are great questions with various answers but not the point of the trial. The question is, should she have been shot to death for doing what she did? That answer is no. He is guilty of murder.”
It does kind of seem like despite the concerns for poor training of the new recruits, it’s longtime agents who have been itching to openly hunt immigrants that have been involved in the most egregious acts. I remember another long-term agent involved in a shooting. It’s not just the newbies, anyone drawn to that job has something wrong with them.
i remember thinking the george floyd video was pretty clear cut, then all these right wingers said it was fent that got him, despite the very visible knee on the guy’s neck

It’d be great to hear her perspective but unfortunately she’s FUCKING DEAD.
What is the name of the ICE agent? What does Minneapolis do if the DOJ refuses to share thar information?

Thank goodness we still have some news outlets that still do the work. Kudos to The Star Tribune.

The right wingers can say all they want to.
Relevant is only whether the judge listens to those right-wingers or uses their own eyes.
