Prosecutor who charged Michigan cop praised by his critics

A Michigan prosecutor who charged a police officer with murder in the shooting of Patrick Lyoya is being praised by some of his early critics. Black activists in April wanted Chris Becker to give the investigation to the Michigan attorney general, saying the Kent County prosecutor was too close to police. Becker didn't give up the investigation. He charged Grand Rapids Officer Christopher Schurr with second-degree murder. Cle Jackson of the Greater Grand Rapids NAACP says he's “absolutely shocked” by the decision. Jackson says he's thankful. In some states, attorneys general have stepped in to handle police shootings instead of a local prosecutor. Meanwhile, Schurr appeared in court Friday and was released from jail on $100,000 bond. A not-guilty plea was entered.
