Minnesota officials sued the Trump administration on Tuesday for access to evidence they say they need to independently investigate three shootings by federal officers, including the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
The lawsuit claims that the federal government reneged on its promise to cooperate with state investigations after the surge of federal law enforcement in Minneapolis. State officials are seeking a court order demanding that the Trump administration comply.
“We are prepared to fight for transparency and accountability that the federal government is desperate to avoid,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty told reporters.
It really is crazy how both of those federal police officers just disappeared after they shot them.
American’s know the normal process is for that officer to be immediately put “on leave impending an investigation.” Then they would be checked out by medic, all statements are taken and recorded by every officer involved. Many times they even do a gunpowder test on the hands of the officers to verify who shot due to the stress of the situation and sometimes people aren’t sure if they shot or not.
These officers just bailed and none of their leadership cared about law, policy, evidence, or anything because they assumed they are immune and none of that matters.
