    Sure. But states have no legal authority to hold a federal officer, if they did whatever case they were trying for would be exponentially more difficult because they ignored the legal process.

    I’m not saying in agree, I’m not arguing it’s right, what I am saying is even if the legal system worked as ideally as possible under current law it would be illegal and unwise to hold a federal officer.

      Being a federal officer doesn’t mean your exempt from state laws. Murder is still a state crime.

      So don’t detain them, arrest them for it. Have them argue they should maintain their immunity with that video evidence in front of a judge.

        No they can’t, it was in the line of duty. Off duty maybe but federal officers have supremacy in most matters and they have to be tried federally.

        Yes that would have to be done after a warrant and after a waiver of immunity to allow state prosecution.
