The Clark County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday that regional investigators have finished looking into a Vancouver police shooting on Thanksgiving and released a summary of their findings.
The case has been sent to the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for review, according to a sheriff’s office news release. Prosecutor Tony Golik said he will send the case to a prosecutor outside of the county, who will determine whether the Vancouver police officer was legally justified in firing his weapon at Irving Diaz-Rodriguez, 23.
Tue, 22 Dec 2020 21:48 UTC Prosecutors have declined to file charges against a Vancouver Black Lives Matter militant who followed the Proud Boys to a bar following a memorial for the Patriot Prayer member who had been murdered by Antifa in Portland and ran over one of them with his vehicle.
The victim, Shane Moon, as well as other witnesses, say that it was a targeted attack due to his political beliefs. He was placed in intensive care following the attack, as he was bleeding from his brain, sustained damaged to his left temporal lobe, has a concussion and could not remember the impact.
