Hennepin County Attorney: Officers involved in George Floyd's death not cooperating with investigation
Updated 2 hours ago




.....................

There will be two investigations. At the state level, Hennepin County Mike Freeman will explore murder charges for the death of Floyd. At the federal level, U.S. Attorney Erica MacDonald will explore if any hate crimes occurred.............................





.............................
Federal investigation


Thursday, MacDonald announced her office would be conducting a “robust and meticulous investigation” into the incident. She added that President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr are both actively monitoring the case, too.

MacDonald noted that, at the federal level, the prosecutors will focus on hate crimes. That means MacDonald’s office must prove “the subject took action or did not take action when he or she knew it was wrong and chose to do it anyway.”

MacDonald, along with FBI Special Agent in Charge Rainer Drolshagen, will be conducting the federal investigation. Parallel to that will be Freeman’s murder investigation.

There is no love lost with Erica McDonald. I watched her today at the news conference.
I wondered why she was praising Trump and Barr involvement. It turned my off to say the least.

takeaway from US Attorney Erica McDonald’s press conference:

A - Her heart, oh her heart, her heart is broken.

B - She won’t be conducting an independent investigation, since Bill Barr & @realDonaldTrump
will be closely monitoring her progress.

C - Riots

I see Ms. Erica McDonald, US Attorney is on Fox speaking about the Floyd case. In the process of trying to appear solemn, she makes a joke about the wind. Good gawd, a person was murdered. Where’s the humor ma’am. Please help me out cause I just don’t see it. Do your damn job.

US Attorney Erica McDonald said Trump and Barr are saddened by what happened by this murder of Mr. Floyd? Like they care? About anyone but themselves? The cop that was kneeling on his neck should already be in jail. Politics should have no bearing on that!
