> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > Can you give a bottom-line summary for those of us who don’t want to watch the video? (After watching on Nebula) He gives a pretty good summary of the event including synchronizing the fuzzy video released by DHS with others from different angles pretty well demonstrating that far from being struck, the murderer was never in danger from the victim’s vehicle. He then goes on quoting various Minnesota statutes under which the murderer and his fellow accomplices could be charged since there’s no chance federal charges will ever be brought, then shows how a lack of cooperation will impede the investigation, never mind prosecution. After this he concludes that because of the event and its aftermath he’s had to disconnect from social media for a moment, “I hope these bastards get what’s coming to them, but I doubt it. Continue to record them whenever possible, and stay safe.” ---

**Moderating:** @DesertDog, the SDMB does not allow doxing, or support taking extra legal actions including harassment. Your post, especially the last line seems to be clearly endorsing these actions. I’m giving the benefit of the doubt, and not issuing a warning, but do NOT do this again. ---

So, someone replies to a poster named Moriarty with a link to an article about a lawyer named Moriarty. Still not getting it. What connection does it have to the rest of the thread? ---

She’s likely one of the prosecutors who would prosecute the ICE agent if the case gets that far. ---

“We don’t want people in the federal government who feel like it’s their pet project to go persecute police department based on statistical evidence or persecute people praying outside abortion facilities instead of doing violence.” Worded poorly or coming right out and saying that she wants people in the federal government to be doing violence? ---

> [@solost](#): > > I heard 6 resigned, and in the wake of a DOJ push to investigate Good’s wife, instead of the agent who shot her. Thanks. We’ll see when the dust settles. I think I had heard on the radio that officials in the MINN DOJ office resigned over being told to investigate Good’s wife. Then when I googled quickly, I saw apparent resignations in the Civil Rights Division. May have been resignations in both Minn and DC. > [@Meatwater](#): > > What is resigning going to do? > I don’t understand the point of it when it comes to stuff like this. Well, do you continue doing your job if you are being ordered to do something you feel is unethical - and possibly illegal? Isn’t the resignation of experienced and respected employees a valuable data point in questioning the legality and propriety of actions? The same way that it is relevant that protesters are willing to place themselves in danger to express their opposition, these employees giving up their federal positions/careers, and accepting at least immediate financial stress, speaks to me somewhat more loudly than mere words. Once they have resigned, can not the ex-employees speak out as to improprieties? ---

> [@Meatwater](#): > > What is resigning going to do? > I don’t understand the point of it when it comes to stuff like this. What else can they do if they are given orders from their superiors that they do not feel they can ethically follow? It is the moral and ethical choice to resign in such a case. If enough people resign, maybe they will rescind the order. Or run out of attorneys in the meantime. If every attorney had such scruples, the order could not be implemented. Creeping authoritarianism ultimately requires people willing to go along with it.
