BTW: the press release of "the FBI is taking over the investigation" is standard operating procedure to quell the unrest. In 3 or 4 weeks they will scale that statement back to "Oh no, the FBI was only involved as an observer"

So far, State Trooper or no State Trooper this has gone down "By the Book" as a "Justified Shooting"
