IPDITs are so irritating - 1/9/18

Posted 01-09-2018 at 02:23 PM by peebola


Yeah, I said it. Important People Doing Important Things are irritating, smug, and many times immoral. Case in point...

The Justine Damond case.

This is the criminal case where an unarmed woman was shot and killed by a police officer in Minneapolis, MN in July 2017. The police officer (who is black and from Somalia) while sitting in the passenger seat of the police cruiser, shot Justine (who is white and from Australia) through the driver's side open window (over his partner who was sitting in the driver's seat talking to Justine). After the shooting which killed Justine, the police officer was never questioned by police investigators and is now on paid leave from the police department.

OK, OK. Typical as to police shootings. However...

Supposedly the IPDITs in Minneapolis "promised" that a full investigation would be launched into the shooting and by the end of 2017 they would have a decision if the county would place criminal charges against the police officer. As per typical IPDIT behavior, 2017 ended and they have still not made any decision. Who would have thought? An IPDIT standing by his/her word? Pish posh the thought. IPDITs are BUSY. So damn BUSY. You just don't know how BUSY they are.

Case in point....

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman is the typical IPDIT. He is the oh so important IPDIT that has the final decision if the police officer will be criminally charged with shooting Justine.

No decision in Damond shooting until next year, Freeman says - StarTribune.com

He is smug, he is important, he wears read ties and he is OH SO BUSY.

The BCA in Minneapolis (Bureau of Criminal Apprehension) did the initial investigation into the shooting. Their investigation was completed by early September and the BCA handed IPDIT Freeman their findings on September 12, 2017. On December 13, 2017 IPDIT Freeman was asked by concerned citizens (who are NOT IPDITs) when he was going to make his decision, seeing as he promised he would make a decision by December 2017.

Well, IPDIT Freeman got all huffy (because he is so damn BUSY) and said:

“I’ve got to have the evidence, and I don’t have it yet,” “Let me just say it’s not my fault. So if it isn’t my fault, who didn’t do their job? Investigators. They don’t work for me. They haven’t done their job.”

Okey, dokey IPDIT Freeman, you had the findings from the BCA investigators since September 12, 2017, and three months later you are crying that you don't have enough evidence because the BCA investigators didn't do their job? Ummm...wouldn't you have figured that out in September? Does it really take an IPDIT three months to read an investigative report? Really?

Here's the real deal. IPDIT Freeman received the BCA report on September 12, 2017. IPDIT Freeman doesn't read reports, he lets his lowly paralegals and low level county attorneys read such drivel. IPDITs don't have time to read documents, because they have more important things to do. They are BUSY, remember? He never told his lowly paralegals and low level county attorneys that the investigation was a priority. Thus nobody really got around to reading the investigative report until, maybe November. By then, it is holiday season and NOTHING gets done, especially by IPDITs. Perhaps, a concerned lowly paralegal gave the report to IPDIT Freeman in December, and maybe he gave it a cursory look and saw that the BCA never interviewed the police officer who shot Justine. Oh well.

Then in mid December IPDIT Freeman gets ambushed by concerned citizens and he gets huffy and blames the snail's pace reaction of his office "will we or won't we criminally charge the police officer" on other IPDITs who didn't do their jobs.

Ummm...IPDIT Freeman, you had the other IPDITs useless investigative report for three months. Nothing like proactively time managing your office and low level employees to get the job done in a timely manner.

Anyway, IPDIT Freeman is probably waiting until after the Super Bowl 2018 (which is being held in Minneapolis on Feb 4th, 2018), before he makes his oh so important decision on whether to criminally charge the police office in Justine's death. You know...we wouldn't want the city to be trashed before the big game. Looks bad for Minneapolis IPDITs.

And when I mean after the Super Bowl, I mean way after, perhaps we may never have a decision by IPDIT Freeman. Because we all know IPDITs are oh so BUSY.
