Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty revealed her office’s creation of the Transparency and Accountability Project in a statement on Monday. Per the announcement, TAP allows users to submit photos and videos “of potentially unlawful behavior by federal agents.”

“TAP’s purpose is to collect and assess evidence submitted by the public of potentially unlawful behavior by federal agents,” Moriarty said.

She reported that her office and TAP are investigating 17 incidents that occurred during the DHS operations in Minneapolis, including one focused on former field commander Gregory Bovino.

“We will investigate and pursue charging where appropriate,” Moriarty said. “Make no mistake, we are not afraid of any legal fight. But we will do this ethically, responsibly, and vigorously. This is just the beginning.”

Gregory Bovino makes sense if Abercrombie & Fitch made a Tactical Teenager clothing brand offshoot and needed a good actor to pose in photos as the grizzly old quasi-drill sergeant guy in the ad media, except washed out from too much coke and unable to be around other people without yelling at them or trying to hurt them even when he is getting paid to be around people.

That's so accurate. I especially appreciate the metaphor for the use of Abercrombie and Fitch, a Lex Wexner brand.
