If he said vigorously execute, well, thats different...

No. What I'm saying is he has no business making biased statements like that before the grand jury was even convened. I can see him maybe using the words "vigorously investigate" or something like that but he didn't.

He isn't the prosecutor in this case. He's the governor. He's supposed to try and calm things down while remaining neutral and unbiased, not make it worse by pandering to the rioting mob and all but condemning the cop before the evidence is out.

Pretty sure that's exactly what he was told to do.
