I'm having deja vu all over again!

Update to this sorry story -
This is pathetic....
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman told a group of union members Wednesday that he does not have enough evidence to decide yet whether he'll file charges against Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor, and he blamed "investigators" for not doing their jobs.
Noor fatally shot Justine Ruszczyk from the passenger seat of his squad car through the driver's side window after he and his partner, officer Matthew Harrity, responded to a 911 call on July 15.
Ruszczyk, known professionally as Justine Damond, had called police to report that she thought she'd heard a woman yell for help outside her home in Minneapolis' Fulton neighborhood, telling the 911 operator she was worried someone was being attacked.
Twin Cities Coalition for Justice 4 Jamar posted the prosecutor's conversation with a group of union members during the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation holiday reception Wednesday night on the activist group's Facebook page.
Freeman's remarks came after one of the activists asked him why he hadn't yet announced charges in the case against Noor.
"I've got to have the evidence and I don't have it yet. And let me just say, it's not my fault," Freeman said in the video. "So if it isn't my fault, who didn't do their jobs? ... Investigators, and they don't work for me. And they haven't done their job."
Freeman did not say specifically which investigators he was talking about or the agency they worked for.
State investigators from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension took over the case following the shooting. On Sept. 12, the BCA said it had completed its investigation into the shooting and turned it over to Freeman to consider whether to charge Noor with a crime.
Freeman has said that he expected to review the evidence and make a decision by the end of the year on whether to charge Noor in the shooting.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said in a statement that it continues to work with Freeman's office on "this ongoing investigation" and that the entire agency file will be available "once the case is closed."
Ruszczyk's shooting death sent shock waves through the police force and the city that were felt across the country and the world. It led to the ouster of Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau.
In the conversation on the video, Freeman explained to the union members "I have to prove beyond reasonable doubt the moment he shot the gun, he feared for his life. And he used force because he thought he was gonna be killed. But I can't, he won't answer my questions. Because he doesn't have to, OK? We all have Fifth Amendment rights, and I respect that."
Noor has declined to speak with investigators. Freeman added that Harrity, Noor's partner who was driving the squad car at the time of the shooting, didn't provide enough information to bring charges.
Freeman explained that he must analyze the shooting extensively with physical evidence, along with use of force expert analysis of the incident, before coming to a decision to charge Noor.https://www.mprnews.org/story/2017/12/14/ruszczyk-damond-freeman-noor-minneapolis-police-shootingThere is so much ridiculous vomit-inducing bullsh*t going on here it just stagers the fricken mind! Welcome to Minnestupid! Freeman is a cocksucking progressive weakling, these investigators a similarly effing useless tools of progressive politicians!
This is the exact opposite of a difficult case.
This murderous piece of Satanic pIsslamic filth murdered an unarmed women while sitting on his ass in a squad car and fired across his partners seat through the squad car and into the innocent body of a white woman. None of those facts are in dispute, none of those facts are indicative of anything approaching a justified use of force...they indicate a wreckless and psychotic level of malice.
It is cases like this that will give rise to the inevitable vigilante activity that oppressed people will be forced to...people like this asshole are going to get strung up, it's a matter of when not if...the uselessness of these dogmatic progressive idiots makes it a certainty. Their duotrigintillion-down (10
99) on stupid by further lowering police standards will result in the acquisition of more psychotic murderous thugs like Mohamed Noor to roam the streets of Minneapolis...and the Progs are all damn happy about it!
Welcome to Hell!!!
