No civil rights violation probe into latest MN shooting, sources tell MS NOW
- DOJ will not open a civil rights probe into the Minneapolis shooting, with DHS units taking the lead instead.
- Two Homeland Security units will examine the officers' conduct and whether Pretti broke any laws.
- The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is leading the local investigation, with limited federal information sharing.
- Experts warn the DHS-led approach may limit external oversight and affect evidence integrity.
- Former and current investigators say the setup could create a perception of a cover-up.
- Background context shows similar handling in the earlier Renee Good shooting drawing criticism from officials.
- Advocates urge judicial and state oversight to compensate for federal pullback.
- The shooting involved Alex Pretti, a local individual whose death has sparked federal scrutiny.
- DHS will examine whether Pretti violated any laws, separate from civil rights concerns.
- DOJ and FBI leadership stance noted as a shift in how such incidents are probed.
