Is the murder of Renee Good by Trump's immigration police news in the U.K.?

[MsAmerica]

As Trump keeps pursuing this insane violent crackdown, supposedly on illegal immigrants, but actually much beyond that - A woman in Minneapolis was shot, in her car. Luckily there is a ton of video, but Trump's people are already maligning her, and it's a horrible tragedy.

So weird how you left out the intermediate step where he murdered her by shooting her three times.

FFS

Exactly.

I'm surprised the ICE agents didn't immediately move to remove him from the streets, what with them being so keen to put all these immigrant murderers in jail and protect the good ol' US of A.

Oh goodness, if that’s what you think ICE is fighting then they’ve got confused by the road signs and ended up in Minneapolis by accident! This can all be resolved if they check their GPS and they’ll be so relieved they can stop terrorising a city unnecessarily.

And then all the people will hug ICE and forgive them for shooting women, using five year old boys as pawns and spraying chemical weapons indiscriminately, they were just trying to save them. The good people of Minneapolis, will pack them some pies for the journey so they can go off and help other people. And they all lived happily ever after!

FFS. The caliber of excuses for what Trump is doing are disappointingly pathetic.

PS. I do live in a city with opioid addiction, which is horrible, and has absolutely nothing to do with any of the above. Funnily enough, ICE running amok is doing nothing to help with that. Who’d have thought it?

If they were putting away felons, they’d have to stop taking orders from one.

Quite. There's a few at the top who should be put in the back of an SUV with immediate effect.

Yep. From today:

Jack Smith is a brave man. He knows that Donald Trump will try to prosecute him and the threats he would get. In fact, Trump was doing so during his testimony.

There you go with your non sequiturs again. Nobody has been talking about the people who glue themselves to the road and surely you're not stupid enough to assume that anyone who disagrees with you about ICE is in that same category? Your world can't be that black and white.

He really is. America has shifted towards a dictatorship in just a few years - it's horrifying to watch. Nothing great about it whatsoever.

Anyone who is not white has reason to fear white as third generation citizen have been rounded up, kids taken away and white women shot,

it’s white men, running this operation, condoning this operation, appearing on news to call protestors ‘terrorists’m

Give me a break

Ok, will I bring boots, do you want to go or come home

Your world can't be that black and white.

If a poster is still defending Trump at this point, I think you can assume, yes, it is, because they lack either the desire or capacity for it to be otherwise.

It’s not murder if you are driving your car at someone. Even if she wasn’t trying, she actually literally hit him with her car

Well quite - that's what happens to gun toting morons when they shoot someone in the head as they're trying to get away from them.

The shot by shot, multi camera analyses really don’t show the agent definitively being hit by her car. They do show him crossing in front of her car twice, though, her clearly reversing and then turning the wheel to the right before slowly moving forward in order to leave the area.

The agent switches his phone from one hand to the other, lifts his gun out of his holster and fires once through the windscreen and twice through the driver side window. One of these was the bullet that entered through the left side of her head and exited through the right.

What is absolutely evident, apart from him shooting her three times and calling her a fucking bitch afterwards, is that he himself turned the car into a lethal weapon by shooting and incapacitating the driver, therefore leading to it speeding off, uncontrolled, and luckily not hitting another person. Although I have to say, I doubt that would’ve bothered the agent.

Excellent post @GoodGriefCharlie - absolutely horrific what ICE did that day

Yes, the US is close to the point of no return where it will be impossible to pull out of this terrifying nosedive.

I think, even if it’s somehow pulled back, the knowledge that we are truly surrounded by people with zero compassion changes everything.

It’s really good to have some compassion as a counterpoint on this thread though! This thread needs a lot of that to dilute the… opposite.

That you won’t even admit he was hit but the car is really poor showing.

I don’t think she intended to, but she ended up driving toward him and did hit him. In the end, it was a good thing he was recording, ended up saving him tbh. I would recommend all ICE agents wear body cams, will keep both sides honest

All he has to prove is a reasonable fear that he was at immediate risk of death or serious injury.

You’re quite right, it’s easy for them to murder people with impunity.

Isn't it amazing the levels that the American justice system has sunk to.

Does she get the same opportunity?

Well quite.

Listening to Jennifer Welsh talking about how creepy evangelicals love punching down. ICE shows that in action

Fair point.

Tender age shelters. This is what Trump supporters are responsible for:

i’m not sure how to share the footage of seasoned journalist Rachel Maddow breaking down in tears while trying to report on this. It’s on Instagram though, and I don’t want to reveal my identity through sharing it. But you will certainly get the gist from these articles. Evil.
