1. AS I've said all day, the murderer will be indicted on state charges

What happens after that, I won't predict at this time, but charges will come and the Feds will have a very tough time arguing that the qualified immunity should stand in this case.

2. I could not agree more. And since these are state charges he will not be eligible for a TSF pardon

He committed murder in broad daylight in front of countless witnesses - and they recorded it.

4. Yes. The state has no choice but to indict the guy.

They can't let a guy off the hook after he committed a cold blooded murder on video just because the Feds will do everything they can to try to make sure he gets away with it. The state will do everything they can to make sure he pays the price for his crime.

5. I'm just hoping that the protests remain peaceful since no doubt ICE is worked up...

6. True. I agree! So far, so good.

If anything does break out, at this point I'd bet that it is started by right wing agitators.

7. Yup, and I wouldn't put it past them to take advantage of the situation...

3. I have faith that Attorney General Ellison will deal with the feds.

Let the local police go after the guy. My understanding is, this is the second incident with a car and this officer.
