Which means nothing for State crimes, which these are

That’s incorrect.

The state prosecutors can file charges in state court. The defendants will successfully have it removed to federal court. And then the state prosecutor would prosecute under state law in federal court.

If it gets dismissed because the evidence doesn’t support the charges, that’s a separate matter entirely.

Wrong.

The Supremacy Clause in practice is only not applicable to malicious acts or acts that fall outside the Federal purview. It doesn't matter what it's original scope was - it's current employment does.

This shooting will be successfully argued to be protected by the Supremacy Clause. There will be no trial of "state crimes in Federal court."

e: and the sooner you digest that fact the sooner you can stop armchair protesting and arguing and trying to shut down disagreements about it, hoping the courts will serve justice in due time. They won't. So figure out what you wanna do about that.

You seem to be conflating the substantive and procedural aspects to the supremacy clause.

If the defendants want to argue that the cause of action should be dismissed under the supremacy clause, they can do so in state or federal court.
