Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Don't accept this answer. There must be an investigation as the public demands it. These jokers just don't get it.
Oh they get it. They do not care because the person that was harmed was not one of them. Even then…the number of faces eaten by leopards is staggering
I agree with you. It is unbelievable that they took a mother away from her children and the next moment they are talking about going after the other parent. To try to take both parents away is truly evil.
We used to wonder how the Nazis came to power. Somewhere far in the future, during a time of peace somewhere within the United Countries of Eurasia, a child will ask a teacher in the classroom, how was it possible for the MAGA to come to power?
No one's going to make them. The entire regime is shit from top to bottom.
Wtf are state investigators, how is there not already a warrant out
State investigators are still looking into it. It's not impossible, and it looks like the political will in the Minnesota AG office to prosecute is there, but it does face some hurdles. NYT did a pretty thorough look into it today. From the article:
Can the ICE Agent Who Shot Renee Good Be Prosecuted?

I'd like to add that a good prosecution takes time. Take a hint from Jack Smith and don't judge them for not moving at a snail's pace here.
What in the world else is there to look into
How to get around the federal blockade of the investigation, for one. How to get access to critical evidence like the gun and the autopsy report. How to get past the multiple claims of immunity the defense will try to exercise. How to build a strong case even without key evidence in spite of federal efforts to shut it down at every level, at every step.
This is not a once and done. There is no statute of limitations for murder, even as public consent to the excesses of this regime is obviously past its sell-by date. In both respects, the MN AG has all the time in the world, and is wise to use it.
No statute of limitations for murder is the most important part of this whole situation.
