Shortly after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday, city leaders began looking into whether the officer had violated state criminal law.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said, “We collectively are going to do everything possible to get to the bottom of this, to get justice, and to make sure that there is an investigation that is conducted in full.” Police Chief Brian O’Hara followed up by saying that the state’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is “investigat[ing] whether any state laws within the state of Minnesota have been violated.”
If they conclude that state law has been violated, the question is: What next? Contrary to recent assertions from some federal officials, states can prosecute federal officers for violating state criminal laws, and there is precedent for that.
The dems are every bit as effective as the people who stay home instead of voting. When it’s important, they do nothing.
Blaming the voters for rightly seeing the dems won’t fight for them either isn’t helping the situation.
We wouldn’t be in this mess if the democratic party hadn’t made excuse after excuse. We’ve been betrayed over and over and that takes its toll on people.
I still hold my nose and vote D because they’re the lesser of two evils clearly, but I can understand why so many are tuned out.
Did you know Democrats originally tried to make single payer a part of ACA?
The problem is, they needed 60 votes in the Senate, and ONE Democrat, Joe Lieberman, joined EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN in voting against the public option.
1 single Republican voter crossing the aisle could have delivered single payer, but idiots blame the Dems. Electing 1 more Democrat instead of a Republican could have delivered single payer, but idiots blame the Dems. 40 Republicans and 1 Democrat voted NO against Single Payer, and brilliant minds everywhere gargled BOTH SIDES SAME!! You can’t make this shit up.
I did, the funny part is instead they literally went with Romney’s plan and still got shit on forever for it.
Trying to reason and play politics with facists doesn’t work, and its long past time they learn that.
Did you know the Democrats actively prop up republican nutjobs (financially supporting their campaigns) because they think it’s easier to win against them? One of those nutjobs was Donald Trump.
You can’t make this shit up
