Jonathan Ross was dragged in a separate incident last year by a fleeing driver, according to court records.

    So he’s a fucking dumbass who doesn’t know not to be near a moving vehicle. There’s a reason cops stay like an arms length away during a traffic stop and ask you to turn off the car.

    IF the report of the last incident is to be believed (I don’t):

    • He escalated the earlier incident by breaking the dudes window and reaching in.
    • He either got caught on the glass he himself broke, or he kept holding on as the car started moving.
    • He knows how to not use lethal force (he tased the last victim)

    If he’s “sensitive” about getting dragged he shouldn’t be out in the field. Nor should he be approaching vehicles.

    Obligatory fuck JD Vance.

    She was going over 5 miles an hour for a half a second!

    That’s like a nuclear missile, so of course he had to open fire on her face from two feet away.

    Then this scum sucking, low life worm named Jonathan Ross should know the difference between being dragged and standing 2 to 3 feet away from a car by now. I hope he his is hounded ceaselessly to his grave and then ghosts take it from there for eternity.

        Yup, Thiel has deep pockets to ensure these scum are taken care of. But if you are hounded wherever you go all the time life would suck at least.

      I’ve been hoping this info would come out. I posted in another thread about how he should live the rest of his life being hated and shunned by everyone around him.

      You know, since the Fourth Reich likely won’t prosecute him.

        There is no statute of limitations on murder.

        The feds will protect him, but that’s only guaranteed for as long as the current regime is in power. Even if the next administration (or the one after that, or the one after that, etc) isn’t inclined to make a federal case out of it, they could easily decide to just not obstruct justice and cooperate, handing everything over to the state.

    Vance that says that the agent is sensitive about being rammed, like it would justify any bit of this. “Of course the rabid dog bit them to death, it’s rabid!”

    He is a supposed “law enforcement officer” he assumes a risk. That doesn’t mean you get to shoot people.

    I’ve seen justifiable shootings by police. This isn’t it.

          I would argue that the British TV personality is more broadly well known. Thdt might change with this guy’s sudden notoriety.

            The point is I don’t care about him. I care about the POS who murdered that woman and left three kids without their mother. The point is this thread isn’t about that guy and he can fuck right off along with anyone who thinks its cute to mix him in.

            Reply don’t reply I wont hear from you again troll.

              Um. Okay. He’s left the building I guess, so this is for the rest of us:

              It’s just conversation. I’d like if the civilized remainder of this comment section could let me know if I’m coming across as a troll.

    The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Thursday that the agent who killed Good was the same officer dragged by a suspect in Bloomington last June. Although Ross was not named in the 13-page indictment of the driver, he is identified in several court records filed in the case, including photo exhibits from the hospital. He is also listed by name as a witness.

    Nice sleuthing.

    A law enforcement source, who is not authorized to speak publicly, confirmed that Ross is the shooter.

    LEO doing something useful!

          I doubt they will act the same way as well when they actually fear for their safety. Check out Uvalde for reference.

            I suspect you mean this, but you’re being cryptic:

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uvalde_school_shooting

            Police officers did not breach the classroom, but cordoned off the school grounds, resulting in violent conflicts between police and civilians, including parents, who were attempting to enter the school to rescue children. As a consequence, law enforcement officials in Uvalde were criticized for their response

              I don’t think that’s being cryptic. Far from being simply criticized, the one coward involved went on trial recently.

                  Cops are so cowardly when they’re scared that they left a school full of ten year olds to fend for themselves. It’s utterly disgusting.

    So, is the Star Tribune stating that since he was dragged along previously, he panicked and fired this time? Or that he reported a while back being dragged along, so that charge might be bullshit too?

      No, they’re reporting that’s how they found his name.

      The DHS put it out there in the first place so they could say it’s okay he shot a civilian at point blank range.

      Well, we don’t know exactly, but the court documents state that he was dragged after smashing the driver’s window, reaching in, and trying to open the door from the inside. The driver panicked (rightfully) and tried to drive away.

        That driver seems to be an asshole (wanted for sexual assault). But putting your arm into an operational car with somebody behind the wheel who does not want to surrender sounds like the stupidest idea in the world.

          It absolutely does, just like putting an agent who’s still "sensitive’ about vehicle stops on an operation where he’s stopping vehicles.

          Almost like the DHS and ICE are run by deeply unqualified people with none of the requisite training.

      I’d want to know specifics of the dragging story . There might be details relevant to the present.
