Minnesota will still treat us as a state crime
Will they? Maybe I’m already misremembering events (I’m not), but it seems like the state authorities are giving up on any investigation. Quote:
“The BCA said as of Friday afternoon it is not conducting an independent use-of-force investigation into the shooting, but is working with Moriarty’s office to catalogue and preserve evidence. BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said the office would provide the community’s evidence to the FBI, as it is leading the investigation.
“The BCA remains open to conducting a full investigation of the incident should the U.S. Attorney’s Office and FBI reconsider their approach and express a willingness to resume a joint investigation or to share all evidence and evidentiary reports held by FBI investigators,” Evans said.”

That’s where the DA of Hennepin County and AG come into play. Unfortunately that will take time and this is something neither of them will get wrong. Worst case scenario they are able to find obstruction.
From my understanding the BCA did not “give up.” They have literally been prevented from accessing the scene, they have been prevented from acquiring any gather material, etc. They could not get access independently and can only request joint investigation.
Keith Ellison is damn good at his job. Let him cook.
