In reply to the discussion: ICE agent in Minneapolis killing identified as 10-year law enforcement veteran [View all]AZJonnie
(3,095 posts)15. Certainly not defending Munoz in this circumstance, but this still seems like a bonehead move by Ross
There were other avenues if the driver was refusing to comply, such as calling in backup and making sure the vehicle was pinned in before attempting to breach it. As long as there's still a very real possibility the driver could speed away, seems like an officer would be trained to NOT shove their arm into a hole in the window they've just created

He needs to turn himself in to the Minneapolis police and be held for the charge of murder

They've already hurt any chance of fighting over jurisdiction on his case. Doxxing is always an authoritarian pretext

What did she actually say? I don't want to sign up for X in order to hear the 9-second clip. Thanks.

It's already in current court records, a matter of public record. No doxxing necessary.

Well, I wouldn't take my opinion of a parent out on his kid. But I do understand what you mean.

It wasn't that family that caused him to make the decision to murder. It's moot, anyway, to answer to a hypothetical

Yes. Here are previous court records with photos showing Ross doing just that with a "suspect" charged.

Not at all. Munoz should have gotten a lawyer before this encounter, because photos show that how this arrest proceeded

I hear you. I'm wondering just where MN's excellent AG, Keith Ellison is. Is he dealing with these events?

Did he realize he was being filmed and there were at least 10 witnesses seeing the entire incident?

At the state level. There will first be a jurisdictional fight in courts about this. And the state will win.
