    Watching the news tonight and headline story is they are charging the State Trooper. They showed the video again and count me in the group that has judged this as a justified shooting. Looks like Mary Moriarty is up to some new shenanigans.

    It’s all about politics, not what’s right and wrong or lawful.

    I wonder how many tens of millions of dollars this is going cost Hennepin county, and the rest of us…

    Unreal.

    This Moriarty clown is clearly plenty happy letting criminals walk and continuing to ruin this area.

    If we keep crucifying law enforcement for doing their job we will end up like California where people take and do whatever they want.

    You folks down in minneapolis and St. Paul are gonna run out of cops willing to serve. Liberal politics ruin great cities. Perfect example right here.

    I feel bad for the officer and his family.

    BS like this just sets the precedence that its ok to break the law and not obey law enforcement. every officer in the state should get together and agree not to go to work for a week and see what happens.

    How many of these young ,mostly black, men would be alive if they just did what the cop told them to do ?

    There’s alot of white dudes shot too, although blacks are significantly more fatal according to the statistics.

    Wonder what all these “unknowns” are?

    I think that is what they’re striving for.
    I mean step one listen to law enforcement and a good chance you won’t get shot.

    the way it is these days, don’t break the law, be respectful. and you will go home, or ,maybe jail, but alive. Feel for the officer doing his job and this is what happens, why they have trouble recruiting

    Her misuse and abuse of the Grand Jury system is troubling, but not surprising.

    Her misuse and abuse of the Grand Jury system is troubling, but not surprising.

    Joe Friedberg was on KFAN with Barreiro yesterday, and I’ve never heard him so frontal and tear apart a case so much as he did Mary Moriarty’s handling of this, particularly the Grand Jury portion as well as just the overall handling. It’s worth a listen for anyone interested in the legal side of this. Personally I think/hope the officers attorneys will get this case thrown out before it reaches a court date. Getting Mary Moriarty thrown out of office should be step 2.

    No grand jury was used. Charges came down from her office.

    Not from what I understand. She used a grand jury to force the officers to testify and answer her questions under oath, since they weren’t cooperating. She also asked that they didn’t make an indictment ruling like they normally would (so in turn she could make her own decision).

    They did call a Grand Jury and a Use of Force expert, and Moriarty did not use either one. Which is why I think it should get thrown out sooner than later. The Grand Jury was used to compel testimony from some in the State Patrol, but she didn’t call the Grand Jury for a vote, which is VERY unusual and typically implies an indictment was not likely coming from the Grand Jury. It’s called an Investigative Grand Jury, and is not something Friedberg has heard being used in 40 years.

    From my experience, having served on a grand jury in another state, I think a grand jury is a farce. You only hear from the prosecuting attorney/DA, and of course they always make it look like you have a case, and probably like 95% or better of the cases are recommended to go to trial. Maybe the grand jury is different in Minn or in this case, but IMO a grand jury almost always agrees with the prosecuting attorney.

    That’s because she wants and needs their vote

    I have no idea why ANYONE would want to be in law enforcement these days. The days are coming where good people who should be in law enforcement will no longer be. When thing return to the wild wild west days where people take the law into their own hands. Those responsible for the police situation will be the least able to defend themselves and I for sure will not bother to defend them.

    I think so too. I’d be fairly surprised if it wasn’t. And even if it does make it a court, I’d be shocked if it was guilty. Just from watching the video its obviously not like the previous recent cases. One of the troopers almost got run over for cryin’ out loud.

    I can’t see how this won’t be thrown out.
