However, I don't want him spending the next 10 to 20 years living off the taxpayers while in US prison. Strip him of US citizenship and send him back to Somalia.
Yessir, works for me. This was disturbing when I parsed the various news reports.
That can be done but only within 7 years of the swearing in. It's awfully rare for it to be done absent a clear fraud being found in the application process.

I think he should, but I always advise everyone to not talk to the police. He has the right to not answer any questions in a criminal investigation, just like any other suspect. I am wondering if the department got anything from him for an internal investigation. They can order a statement and force it, but it cannot be used against him in a criminal case (Garrity v. New Mexico I think).

And I would suggest that they proceed with their internal discipline anyway. Without knowing everything about the case, I would suggest that it certainly appears unjustified. If he tells a story which justifies it, then their investigation should be completed and the story made public (depends on state laws if it ever has to be or not). And if he doesn't justify it, then he should be fired, without regard tot he criminal investigation.

And the DA should be able to get an indictment based on what has been released tot he papers, especially if the officer has not produced anything to contradict the public material.
I'd sincerely like to hear the statements made by his partner, recorded at the scene at the time of the shooting, to his supervisors following, and to the DA.

This incident has been a huge embarrassment for the department, the city, the the prosecutor's office and the state who I believe have jurisdiction over the criminal investigation.

I sincerely believe the hope is to drag it out as long as possible so that it is pretty well forgotten before it's ever resolved.

I'd have to look at MN law but at a minimum there should be a charge of negligent homicide.

Considering what he did it's a miracle he didn't leave his partner blind and deaf as well.

The man should never be allowed to handle another firearm much less ever work another day as a cop and he should certainly be spending some time in prison.
