General Discussion

Look, we have all seen at least some of the videos. There are a bunch of them, and they all tell the same story. There is no question what happened here. There is literally nothing that needs investigation at the crime scene. We can and will look into the victim's actions at the scene. And we will dig into the killer's background as much as we can -- that would be much better if the FBI joined with us. But if they aren't interested in investigating then we will proceed without them. In the end, it appears this case will boil down to whether the victim posed any serious threat to anyone on the scene. Every indication from the video is that she was unarmed and attempting to remove herself from the confrontation when she was shot 3 times in the head at point-blank range. And let us be 100% clear. There is no legal basis for an officer or anyone else shooting into a vehicle in order to stop the movement of the vehicle or to prevent the driver from leaving unless there was a clear indication that the driver posed a mortal, immediate danger to others. That's the law. It looks very clear cut here, but we'll investigate before charging. I call on the FBI to join us in this investigation immediately and surrender the shooter to state authorities without delay.
