According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).
Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

Hey, CBP isn't allowed to do any of the stuff it's doing in Minneapolis even within the confines of its extremely ridiculous "100 miles from any border" jurisdiction. It's 300 miles from Canada and 160 miles to Lake Superior. They're breaking the law standing around, let alone beating up protesters.
Border Patrol typically only has legal authority within 100 mi. of the U.S. border. That raised questions when Cdr. Gregory Bovino was at the scene of the fatal shooting of Renee Good.
MPR News spoke with legal scholar César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández about that agency’s jurisdiction in Minnesota.

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

Not seeing any CBC folks sharing this publicly, but I know they are talking about it internally. It's ok to be mad that your money went to the same people that are calling for your heads on spikes! Why is everyone so afraid all the time.

another reason why people have given up on procedural or incremental reforms is that the courts just do not discipline killer cops
At that moment, it would be difficult for the state to disprove beyond a reasonable doubt that an "objectively reasonable officer would believe ... that such force is necessary... to protect the peace officer or another from death or great bodily harm." The rule is very favorable to officers. 3/

If any of these patients died, I hope their parents or children or relatives sue LSU and these administrators.
We need to start distributing the risk up to the administrators. Instead, they force more risk onto physicians and drive the corporatization of medicine.

Harm reduction is not a "divisive approach" and I need actual journalists to stop saying this.
Harm reduction is an evidence based approach which gets more people into safety, into treatment, and reduces overdoses and deaths. That is not a divisive approach, but a humanist approach.
