Cobb Family Demands DOJ Probe After Case Dismissal Spurs Local Criticism
The family of Ricky Cobb II, a Black man killed by a Minnesota state trooper, criticized local officials for dropping charges against the officer and are seeking federal intervention. They argue that law enforcement is not being held accountable, despite the political and social climate following George Floyd's murder. The family plans to ask the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate, while the trooper remains on paid leave.
