I don’t even know what else to add to this headline. This is so fucked up and tragic scary and infuriating and it will in no way slow the resistance.

    ICE says the woman, later identified as Renee Good, was shot in her car after attempting to ram into agents. Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz are disputing ICE’s version of events.

    Feel free to add your own interpretation of the video, intrepid MPR news reporter and stop repeating ICE’s bullshiat*t,

    Federal authorities say an ICE agent, “fearing for his life” killed a woman during a confrontation Wednesday in south Minneapolis.

    Now the protestors were rioters and the victim was trying to run over officers and she was shot four times in the face ‘defensively’ 🙄🙄🙄

    The State Emergency Operation Center has been activated. For reference, this is the multi-agency team that crops up during major incidents. You’ll remember it from the post-George Floyd murder

    11:50 a.m. | ICE says agent, ‘fearing for his life’, kills protester

    Federal authorities say an ICE agent, “fearing for his life” killed a woman during a confrontation Wednesday in south Minneapolis.

    City officials are expected to speak at 12:15 p.m.

    The ICE statement says, in part:

    “Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.

    “An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots.

    “He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.

    “The alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased. Thankfully, the ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries.”

    This is not tragic, it is outrageous. At least, it would be in any other country that considers itself a constitutional state. This is nothing less than murder on behalf of the state - there is no other way to put it.

    I cannot understand how US citizens can still believe that they live in a constitutional state despite all this. Every day there are reports like this that undoubtedly refute this naive assumption.

          I’m not sure how the two things are related.

          Realizing your country is fucked and overthrowing a government are two very different things.

          I’m willing to bet you wouldn’t be the first in line to sacrifice your life trying to overthrow the government if your country was in this situation.

      Yeah, notice how fast the shooter checked to make sure his mask was up and ran from the scene, didn’t go after the vehicle. He knew what he did and ran.

      What’s that phrase “if you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide” (granted I hate that statement, just the irony of who did the shooting, who did the running, and who they likely support…)

      God the fucking comments on that video saying she was trying to run him over and “she wasn’t obeying an LEO”.

      1. You can see the shooters feet not in front of the vehicle between the legs of the guy grabbing the door as she starts to turn. He was not about to be run over.

      2. The shooter had his gun drawn approaching the front of the car to be able to shoot her that fast. No one else had their gun out. Why? That fuckhead is trigger happy and ready to kill.

      3. How do we know she wasn’t trying to get out of the way and we can’t hear if she was saying anything like “let me move first”.

        He positioned himself so that the driver was made to look as if they were going to run him over. He could have easily stepped away and the gone after them later if they needed to stop them. This was so unnecessary.

          My opinion is that he was trying to get to the driver’s side and she accelerated but did not see him. He had his gun out to threaten her and opened fire instead of getting out of the way because he’s just the type of thin skinned piece of shit ICE hires.

          As I said in another comment, at that speed and angle he’s getting a broken foot or leg at worst. This isn’t like when that other terrorist ran over Heather Heyer in Charlottesville in 2017. Or any number of the other vehicular based terrorist attacks where the driver was going fast.

        Didn’t deserve to be shot in the face. She was unarmed. Also looks really fucking guilty when the shooter covers their face and flees the scene.

        I wonder if they will be “unable to find him” because of the mask. If they can “Identify” Luigi by his eyebrows they should have no trouble prosecuting this human trash.

          It’s not a matter of if they can prosecute it’s a matter of will. DHS is already claiming the victim was a domestic terrorist.

          Every single person that supports the Trump regime after watching that video should be treated with the same contempt as Nazis.

          Not saying what the cop did was in any way justified, but a motor vehicle can absolutely be used as a deadly weapon. It happens plenty.

          There are absolutely instances where using lethal force on a driver who’s in possession of no other weapons is justified. This just isn’t one of them.

          What pissed me off, especially on places like Reddit, is the “no doxxing” rule. YOU CANT DOXX A PUBLIC SERVANT. Part of being a government worker is transparency and accountability. You can’t hide behind anonymity.

          The concept of doxxing goes way back before people tied their real identity to their online one. “Doxxing” or “providing documents” is the act of tying someone’s real life identity to their anonymous one against their will. It is not identifying someone in public or using it to shield them from due criticism for their actions.

          You can’t do that with people who are supposed to be unmasked in the first place, and are legally required to identify themselves as government agents as part of their job. It’s not “doxxing”, it’s basic fucking accountability and transparency.

          When Luigi happened we knew everything about his life. This happens and we don’t know who this asshat is. It’s complete bullshit. Any outlet protecting this piece of shit when they would air the dirty laundry of me and you out for the whole world in a heartbeat needs to be blacklisted.

          Edit: That fuckers name is Jonathan Ross. He murdered Renee Nicole Good. May he know no peace.

        What’s even worse, she was likely completely unaware of the shooter being there as she was focused on the guy trying to open her door after being told by another guy to leave.

        One guy tells them to leave. Another gets his fweelings hurt by stuff the driver is saying. The third guy had gun drawn and safety off, ready to shoot. Like, wtf…

    The murderer will definitely get away with it. There will be more ICE agents doing the same thing, emboldened by this incident and the lack of consequences. After the hundredth murder, people are definitely going to start shooting ICE agents on sight. The only way out now is for the administration to punish these agents, but like I said, this will definitely not happen.

    After a while, it won’t even be about immigration any more. ICE will have become a symbol of Trump and his power.
