Editor: The final paragraphs of this – what to name it? Trump is a criminal!
It will take some time for the facts of the shooting to be clarified. Former ICE officials say that, in the past, allegations of excessive force were usually investigated internally. But Mr Miller’s quip about immunity suggests that this administration is not interested in punishing agents for behaviour that might lead to accountability if local police forces engaged in it. The Supremacy Clause of the constitution, which elevates federal law over state law, can make it tricky for local prosecutors to charge federal agents with a crime they may have committed while on duty. Judges reviewing whether such cases can proceed have recently tended to decide for themselves whether an officer acted reasonably, rather than allowing a local jury to weigh in.
Mr Frey urged Minnesotans to stay calm and peaceful in the aftermath of the shooting. He is no doubt remembering how quickly protests escalated in his city after the murder of George Floyd by police in 2020. For months Mr Trump has seemed to want to provoke protesters to violence in order to justify cracking down even harder on Democrat-run cities. Recent court decisions limit his ability to deploy the National Guard the way he did in Los Angeles, but that is not the only option the president has if things get out of hand. He has long toyed with the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act, which would allow him to send troops to cities. Once again, Minneapolis is at the centre of a storm.
Editor: Equvocation is the methodology of the scoundrel!
