"We can't be caught flat-footed. We have to be prepared," Jenkins said."
"It's not something we will tolerate in our jurisdictions," Jenkins said. "We have the capacity to prosecute should we believe that any conduct is unlawful."
"Yes, we are talking about potential murder charges," she said. "We have to look at excessive force charges and what the potential defenses to that are."
"The critical challenges right now, for example, in Minnesota, is enabling local DAs and local police to get access to the evidence," Liccardo said."
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said her office will prosecute federal agents who break the law in San Francisco and encouraged other district attorneys to consider similar action. Jenkins emphasized preparedness and warned that unlawful conduct by federal agents will not be tolerated and could prompt criminal charges. She identified potential murder and excessive force charges where use of force appears unjustified. Building cases against law enforcement officers presents challenges, including access to evidence. Congressman Sam Liccardo said the Department of Homeland Security has blocked local access to evidence in the Alex Pretti shooting and described that obstruction as highly unusual.
