It will be a stretch, under Minnesota law to get murder convictions on any of those officers.
Minnesota laws are liberal .... very very very VERY liberal
As much as people think we understand murder "raps" ... getting one, in this situation (in Minnesota), on a government employee, doing a job edging right up against life-death all the time ... will be very challenging
I doubt the state attorney general will succeed
This is what happens in very liberal states ... the laws, in the end, protect nobody
So ... a federal statute, like a hate crime, could be the way to go here ... but Blue Minnesota would have to admit they came up short ... and I really doubt they will ask Trump to save them.

@questionWeaver with all the hype they threw into Corona virus ... they can’t just discount it now . The officers were negligent or used excessive force ... but ... 🤷🏻♀️
