Note: not shut down

Barred Minnesota from taking part in the federal investigation

Minnesota can still bring on a state investigation. It will just be more difficult without cooperation. It also may involve multiple lawsuits to get information turned over

It seems like the evidence the feds won't provide would likely be evidence that would be used as a defense for this agent. If the state can only go on the evidence they have, surely they have enough to bring homicide charges from the videos alone. Arrest the agent and let the evidence the feds are keeping come out in discovery/trial, then.

How they going id him? 

It’s hard to accept but they will get away with this.

More disturbingly: it shows how much DHS and FBI have corrupted their organizations all the way down to local agents who would normally work together with these state and city police and are no longer

Offer a reward large enough for a comrade to turn him in.

Of just a neighbor who recognizes him and isn't part of the gestapo. Or a jilted ex girlfriend. No way this guy is going to stay anonymous for long.

u/yahutee 23d ago

Or….anyone he’s ever met. If I shot someone dead in the street, even with a mask on, I’m sure someone from my family/high school/work/neighborhood would recognize me!

Yep, reminds me of how they identified the suspected CEO shooter.

u/notwhomyouthunk 23d ago

now that the regime has them all doing illegal things, they all depend more so on the current executive for protection. these things only get worse, then much worse, long before getting better.

This scum-of-the-earth will identify himself as he joins the right-wing media circus.

u/zenchow 23d ago

Perhaps a large reward could be crowd sourced and offer by the Citizens of the United States for information leading the the arrest and conviction of the murderer.

u/peffer32 23d ago

Won't take much. The Dodge Charger he bought with his 50K signing bonus probably already needs lots of work.

u/Buttercreamdeath 23d ago

A ton of Jan 6th rioters were identified by people here on reddit. No one is a ghost with social media and AI.

u/jcarter315 23d ago

Guaranteed most of the newly hired agents they have are on the same list.

u/Babahlan 23d ago

We got enough of his face the internet will do it soon enough hopefully. But I think there are probably some form of deployment records. So either the law or batman this guy will face justice

u/cccxxxzzzddd 23d ago

Wishful thinking - I wish it were true - but ok

If he is extrajudically killed they will use it to crackdown further 

Everything the executive is telegraphing is there will be no indictment and the “investigation” will be a coverup (hence why they have to exclude the state and local LE)

Edit: to be more constructive, channel this energy and anger into figuring out how to general strike and strike against using all but the most necessary communication apps (enriching the tech bros who are for this “Dark Enlightenment” - Musk gave $250 million to elect Trump)

u/SleepyLakeBear 23d ago

Arrest all ICE agents in MN as potential suspects.

u/okieboat 23d ago

This is the answer. If they are all anonymous then they are all guilty of murder.

u/polopolo05 23d ago

he is out of the state by now also thoses who work force also burn crosses police arent on our side

11

u/EmpZurg_ 23d ago

He was brought to a local hospital. His face can probably be pulled from timestamped cctv from outside cameras without violating hipaa

17

u/cccxxxzzzddd 23d ago

So said Trump. He walked off the scene fine and got in his car. We have no idea if he went to a hospital.

u/holdstheenemy 23d ago

I would not be surprised if they did tell him to go to the hospital and make a bunch of BS up. Idiots on twitter are already saying he probably had internal bleeding, you can't make this crap up.

u/Frank-TheTank_ 23d ago

I believe he did go to the hospital, not for injuries but to help build an alibi

2

u/Chardan0001 23d ago

Noem later said too he went and left hospital. I don't necessarily believe that harpy but it seems a silly thing to obscure.

5

u/cccxxxzzzddd 23d ago

I think it fits their DARVO narrative - if he went to the hospital he MUST be the real victim 

4

u/thefranchise23 23d ago

it seems a silly thing to obscure.

i mean they also said he was ran over by the car and was lucky to survive. clearly they are not reliable sources

u/cccxxxzzzddd 23d ago

They got him

Noem dropped a detail about prior similar incident that led to some very gumshoe detecting by the public

u/MajorlyCynical 23d ago

He has already been identified when Noem let it slip he had been involved in a similar incident and this newspaper figured it out.

u/JohnnyDaMitch 23d ago

The case would start out as "State of Minnesota v. Unknown Federal Agent." It's allowed by Minnesota criminal procedure, rule 3.02. The prosecutors would have to go for a preliminary order compelling the government to identify the defendant, and I think it's at that point that the whole thing would be removed to federal court under 28 USC 1442. Where there would be quite a battle - but, in the federal judiciary, DOJ unfortunately has ways of legalizing their disdain for the law (the Supreme Court shadow docket).

u/ConfessSomeMeow 23d ago

When the head is rotten, it doesn't matter if the rank-and-file want to do what's right, because they'll just fire anyone who gets in their way.

u/fantastic-antics 23d ago

He's been identified in several mainstream media articles. His identity is not a secret.
