To believe there will be no justice fo Renee Good under the Trump administration

Nodramalama85 · 13/01/2026 18:23

Renee Good and the way the American government has responded. The broader shift toward more aggressive ICE operations and federal enforcement under the Trump administration is clearly influencing this response. Surely there should be more demand for accountability, transparency, and a government that protects all its people—not just those enforcing the law.

Am I being unreasonable to want justice for Reneee and to be concerned about the broader implications? Surely this sets a precedent for aggressive, potentinally leathal enforcement, even in communities not typically associated with immigration enforcement. Is America moving towards authoritarian practices? Under Trump is this a surprise?

Have you seen the footage of the lady trying to get to a doctors appointment being dragged out of her car, or the 17 year old that was kidnapped, assaulted and released a mile from where he was picked up?

If you live in America, you need to get your head out of the sand.

Again, no it couldn’t. And I’m not saying it isn’t a tragedy, because it is. It’s awful she’s dead. But her choices that day unfortunately led to those consequences.

No, Jonathan Ross’ choice that day was entirely responsible for those consequences. He pulled the trigger. Three times. The victim blaming here is absolutely appalling.

She wasn't obstructing them, they could have gone around. They chose to stop because they were pissed off at 2 middle aged women, and then one of the pissed off men decided to execute her.

If this is allowed to go unchecked, then it could absolutely happen to you.

No she couldn’t. I have enough sense not to leave my children to go and obstruct legal processes.

She has been killed because of her own foolish actions. She hit that officer with her car and showed total disregard for him. Its awful and it's sad but I don't think he should be punished for her actions that day.

Are you on glue?

The footage shows that the car clipped him and it shows that she only changed direction after he drew his gun.
I think she was in fight or flight mode, and panicked. I think the ICE officer also panicked and overreacted.

Earlier footage shows she was parked perpendicular on the road blasting her horn trying to impede ICE from the arrest

That is not what the footage shows.

Don’t believe your lying eyes. Trump very clearly told us that Jonathan Ross is in hospital and lucky to be alive.

What terrifies me is the way the narrative has been so successfully manipulated on social media.
Within hours, this young mom was labelled a domestic terrorist, an abuser, a failed mother who had to give up her kids and all the other perjoratives that people throw at the ‘woke’. And people have swallowed it. There will be no justice for her because enough people now believe she was a threat who is best off dead and our attention has moved elsewhere. How chilling is that- she could be any one of us.
Its totally Orwellian.

No she couldn’t. I have enough sense not to leave my children to go and obstruct legal processes.

39 seconds in he’s knocked to the side (he’s the man who’s partially obscured by the man at the driver’s window), and then at 52 seconds he’s lifted onto the bonnet and carried for a few feet.

Am I wrong about any of this? If these are the same incident, and he was the shooter, then they clearly show her hitting him. If not, she’s hitting someone else.

You keep asking the same question. Yes you are wrong. He was not hit and carried. Its questionable if he was even bumped.

He definitely chose to execute someone at close quarters though.

Sadly, it doesn't matter who believes what here. The die is cast, the word is out, and that's that. No one in the Trump Admin is going to turn on their narrative. And this will be forgotten about very soon, because nothing will change it now.

Unless the people rise up and the forces refuse orders, that's it folks.

We are wasting precious time debating this. No one in Government is listening to any theory other than the official one.

There's video evidence from several different angles, showing her accelerating her car directly at him. The officer had been hospitalised several weeks before from a similar incident from a member of one the groups targeting ICE.

No, no there isn't because this didn't happen.

LlttledrummergirI · 14/01/2026 14:18

Sskka · 14/01/2026 10:47

She did hit him though? There’s footage on CNN of her driving into him and carrying him forward a short distance, which is aiui when the shots are fired.

Have I got that wrong? It seems to pretty clearly make it self-defence (or possibly defence of someone else if the person being hit isn’t the shooter). It’s probably not even an excessive use of force.

Yes, you o have that wrong. The close up footage shows no impact between the car and the murderer. Footage from further away shows a potential that ge may have been nudged.

There us no footage that shows him being hit by the car and carried because that didn't happen.

Except to my eyes the footage very clearly doesn’t show that. I’ve explained it above.

The gun was irrelevant to her change of direction. In his own phone footage you can see her turning the wheel away from him as soon as the brakes from reversing. She’s clearly executing a manoeuvre. He draws it when she’s moving and is already committed to the turn.

He will not be the President forever. He has two years.

Will Trump be able to pardon every single ICE agent?

We can but hope he only has 2 years. He's said multiple times that he wants to remove that limitation and stay on as President (dictator).

Obama did a kind of 'I told you so' speech where he said (paraphrasing, terribly) that he disagreed with what Trump was doing, but he did warn everyone prior to the election that this was exactly what Trump was going to do, and it's what Trump said multiple times he would do - he doesn't see the police/judiciary as separate bodies that work for/protect the people. He sees them as his personal army, to order as he sees fit and to put down "the enemy within" (ie. anyone who disagrees with him).

In general, I don't think the law has anything to do with justice. But there is certainly no justice for anyone in Trump's America.

🚨 BREAKING: POV footage from the ICE agent who was RAMMED by anti-ICE activist Renee Good in Minneapolis has been released He was clearly not just hit, but hit HARD. 100% JUSTIFIED use of force. Walz and the Mayor are LIARS. Glad this agent is safe...

Three Words. The Epstein files.The problem is a significant enough proportion of the electorate actually wanted to live in an America like this. They’ve now got what they wanted. The Epstein Files. This is what making America great again looks like. The Epstein files. They want controlled borders and they see people like Renee as an enemy who they believe want uncontrolled borders, so they don’t care about her or her life. The Epstein files. They see foreigners and anyone who supports them as a threat to America. Oh and the Epstein files. Don’t forget the Epstein files. All of this domestic turmoil is also exactly what Trump wants to distract the people away from the Epstein files. Oh, and did I mention the Epstein files?

I don’t think all the training in the world (in a dusty gym somewhere, in a class with 30 others, knowing you’re going to break for coffee in five minutes) is ever going to to make you foolproof in a real life situation with fear, adrenaline and stress in the mix.

I didn’t think so at first either, but there is certainly footage of someone getting hit at 48 seconds into the top video here.

Now look at the other footage. The closer footage that isn’t grainy, because that’s much clearer and shows the position of his feet, then put the two together. This footage certainly doesn’t show him being hit and carried. It shows that the car moves and he puts his arm out and leans right over onto it with his arm before it touches him. What’s more, his hand isn’t on the front of the bonnet but off to the side (ie no it wasn’t aiming for him). He looks like he gets clipped because his reaction is clearly to try to stop the car by reaching out for it, so he grabs out for it and stumbles because obviously he’s not going to stop a moving car. That isn’t the same as him standing there and her hitting him with a car. It’s his actions that put him in harm’s way. His feet aren’t in the path of the wheels, so if he hadn’t literally leaned onto the moving car, it wouldn’t have touched him. It might have been instinctive to try and stop her, but it was stupid and certainly not a reason to justify shooting someone three times.

The video evidence - including that from his own mobile phone - shows her turning the car away from him.

Do you think that if he had been so traumatised from the prior incident that he was now on a hair-trigger to kill, maybe putting him in the frontline and arming him with a lethal weapon was a poor choice by his senior staff?

Three videos taken of the scene and reviewed by CNN show nuance. What took place prior to the shooting remains unclear.
