This is a big story in South Dakota that’s not getting enough attention nationally. The states attorney general could be impeached pretty soon after he killed a man, with his vehicle, but he’s only been charged with misdemeanor crimes.
Here’s the story with no paywall apnews.com/article/76bd67…
This is the victim: Joseph Boever argusleader.com/story/news/202…
The impact was so hard this is what the vehicle looked like thepublicopinion.com/news/local_new…
Tons of details about what the interrogation videos reveal

FYI - this is why the AG is only charged with misdemeanor crimes keloland.com/news/local-new…

I just found out about the story yesterday.
10-year-old Victor Peterzen was hit by a Jeep driver in Houston six months ago and he died because of it.
Nothing has happened to the driver.
Nothing.
I’m asking why, starting with @houstonpolice. Image
“Victor was riding northbound on Maux Street when he failed to yield the right-of-way at a stop sign and was struck by the Jeep traveling westbound on Knoboak Drive, according to the Houston Police Department,” reports the Houston Chronicle. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
The Chronicle also noted that the case was going to be presented to a grand jury because it involved a juvenile.

This was the moment South Dakota’s attorney General was told that the face of the man he hit and killed actually came through his windshield to the point where investigators say the victim’s glasses were found in the attorney generals car. The AG insists: he thought he hit a deer
Journalists at the @Argus911 watched 2 interrogation videos with the AG and did a nice job breaking some key moments

.@JoshGuilloryUSA, Mayor-President of Lafayette, LA, calls @LouisianaGov “hypocritical” for criticizing the city councils rejection of a mask mandate. Guillory, who won’t use city resources to enforce a state mandate, makes a valid point: the state isn’t enforcing its own mandate
The mayor president’s reference to zero enforcement taken appears to be a reaction to our report, 5 days ago, which noted that of 3,669 masking complaints received since the Governor instituted a mask mandate, zero enforcement has been taken.
The state fire marshal, which is an enforcement agency tasked by the governors with enforcing the mask mandate, has chosen to educate rather than punish, according to the agency’s spokeswoman.

NEW THREAD: Today, Louisiana’s Governor blasted the Lafayette City Council after its rejected, last week, a mask mandate. @LouisianaGov told @washingtonpost: “It's a basic failure of leadership, you know, & there's a partisan edge
to this that quite frankly,
I don't understand.”
Here’s the full response from @LouisianaGov: “let me be clear,
the mask mandate
is enforce in effect
all across the state of Louisiana. The Lafayette city council
doesn't have the authority
to opt out of that mandate...”
“... They took an action,
saying that they weren't going
to enforce it at their level,
and that's regrettable,
it's unfortunate
because that region of our state,
at numerous times
throughout the pandemic,
has actually had some of
the highest positivity rates
and...”

I went home to Lafayette, LA. to cover a story that’s deeply divided people there: masks & mandates. The Mayor won’t enforce @LouisianaGov’s state mandate & the state fire marshal won’t either, other than to educate when a complaint comes in. 1 family is at the center of it all.
Dr. @ashishkjha, Dean of the School of Public Health at Brown University, said, about to the Lafayette report: “mask mandates, asking people to wear masks is such a small step that we all can take, & we have mandates that that require us to do things all the time...” (1/14)
“... We're not allowed to drink and drive. We’re not allowed to smoke inside restaurants and bars and lots of other places. So we have a long tradition of putting in what a really modest restrictions we've got to do that with mask mandates...” (2/14)
