15. Lawrence was really good tonight too. He's an expert on LEO excessive force and wrote a great book on it.

He made the interesting observation that the federal agent who assaulted the woman Pretti was trying to help was also one of the two agents who then opened fire on Pretti. Lawrence also pointed out that there is no statute of limitations on murder, and the Pretti & Good murders were both state crimes as well as federal crimes. He had the Minneapolis city prosecutor on who said she was investigating the killings. She also pointed out that even if the feds remove any criminal charges she files to federal court, she would remain prosecutor on the case, and state law would still apply--so Trump can't pardon the agent!

Lawrence got choked up reading the statements on Pretti. Which made me choke up too.

I'm totally crushing on Lawrence.
