There are comparable cases where the officer was never charged at all, or it took several months, or in the Noor case it took years.
IF the officers were charged quickly that would be an extreme exception, not the rule. And would probably require the DA breaking some rules that would cause the case to be thrown out.
Of course the Mayor of Minneapolis knows all this. Clearly this is a political ploy. I would surmise him and the current AD are not allies, and he probably has someone else he wants to run for AD next election, so he is purposefully undermining this AD. That and the obvious wants it to appear he is on the mobs side for his own political self preservation.
The officer who killed the victim clearly committed a serious crime he will be charged with, and the other officers may or may not be charged with who knows what. It is always going to take time to sort these things out when it involves making charges police officers.
