A constructive conversation with @KSTP and MCPA Executive Director Potts.
According to Moriarty on Monday, the decision was based on new evidence and re-watching the body camera footage. She said she learned that Londregan planned to testify he felt Cobb was reaching for a service weapon.

Minneapolis Police Officer Jamal Mitchell is a hero. Yesterday, the MPD lost Jamal, one of its finest, in the line of duty. Jamal was born 2/12/88. He was a fiancé, a father, and a son. He made the ultimate sacrifice protecting his city and community.
