Is the DOJ right to not bow down to pressure, or does this mark further politicization of the department?

The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
The DOJ does not automatically investigate every time that a federal agent is forced to defend themselves from someone putting their lives in danger. The department will investigate when it's appropriate to investigate and it will not bow down to pressure from the media or politicians.
Left narrative
Despite videos undermining official accounts that the ICE agent was endangered, in addition to evidence showing that it was several minutes before Good received any medical attention, investigations are only being pursued against local protesters and politicians who are seeking justice. Trump continues to run roughshod over the traditional independence of the DOJ.
