TL;DR Summary

Legal experts weigh in on the body camera footage of a state trooper shooting Ricky Cobb II on Interstate 94 in Minneapolis. The footage shows troopers asking Cobb to step out of his car without providing a reason, which legal experts say is not required. The troopers had probable cause to pull Cobb over due to a felony violation alert issued by the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office. When Cobb did not comply and drove away, troopers pursued and shots were fired, resulting in Cobb's death. Some activists and Cobb's family are calling the troopers' actions reckless and demanding accountability, while legal experts argue that the troopers had justification for their use of lethal force. The investigation into the incident continues.
