FBI won't share evidence related to Alex Pretti shooting, state says

Source: USA Today

The FBI notified Minnesota state investigators that it will not share information or evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis, the state's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said in a Feb. 16 statement.

The news comes after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and other officials expressed hope that federal authorities would cooperate with the state in an investigation into the killing of Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse whose death triggered nationwide protests and bipartisan calls for an independent investigation.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which specializes in investigating police shootings and has often worked with federal authorities, vowed to move ahead with its own investigation but acknowledged the challenges posed by the FBI's decision to withhold evidence.

"While this lack of cooperation is concerning and unprecedented, the BCA is committed to thorough, independent and transparent investigations of these incidents, even if hampered by a lack of access to key information and evidence," the agency said.

... and it was Minneapolis residents who witnessed the whole event.

The truth will come out and neither DoJ nor the FBI can't stop it.

They don't care and in fact celebrate the murders so will certainly not do anything to the murderers - except maybe quietly giving the a bonus. (Just a rant, no facts support it that I know of anyway).
