This is a clearly political decision. Given the willingness prosecutors have shown to put people like Kyle Rittenhouse on trial, or any other officer-involved shooting, it makes no sense that they would skip Babbitt's case UNLESS they were politically motivated not too. It's a shame the ability to prosecute for a crime is held by the state. In instances where the state passes on prosecution of a crime, private parties should have the right to bring their own criminal prosecution. Otherwise the deep state can always excuse its own criminals (like Hillary Clinton). In our justice system, we have double jeopardy and the prosecution gets one crack at convicting a criminal defendant. If the state passes on the opportunity, that opportunity shouldn't go away, it should just fall to the injured party/their family to give it a try. That's a judicial reform I think needs to be made.
