What could possibly go wrong?
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people.
It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control.
It must stop.
Kristi Noem must go. Now.

“Federal agents wouldn’t allow a man who said he is a physician to examine the driver, Heller said. Emergency medical technicians arrived 15 minutes later, she said. First responders were unable to get close to the scene because ICE agents did not move their cars to let them through.”

A good primer on DARVO (Deny, Attack, then Reverse the Victim and Offender roles). The more we know, the better prepared we become!
"DARVO is often a pattern, rather than a one-off, and survivors often say the emotional confusion was worse than the conflict itself."
