[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can the shooter be held responsible by the state? I know federal authorities won’t do anything , but can Minnesota try him? [/quote]
Yes.

Minnesota can charge the shooter, but because he’s a federal agent the US Attorney can invoke the supremacy clause to remove the action to federal court and can either dismiss the charges, or put on an intentionally half assed prosecution which should it result in conviction, Trump will issue an immediate pardon. Or he will simply preemptively pardon the murderous agent. Since Trump and his DOJ leadership are both utterly corrupt, I suspect this POS is going to get away with murder.[/quote]

“Although federal officers do have immunity in some circumstances, that protection applies only if their actions were authorized under federal law and “necessary and proper” in fulfilling federal duties. When federal officers violate federal law or act unreasonably when carrying out their duties, they can face state charges.

States have a long history of prosecuting federal officials for allegedly using excessive force on the job. And when federal courts agree that the force may not have been legally justified, they have allowed the state prosecution to proceed.”
