Renee Nicole Macklin Good, the woman shot dead by an ICE agent on Wednesday, was a loving mom who had just dropped her son off at school, her ex-husband said.
I know most people have already gone over this, but for me it was important to figure out what actually happened. From the article:
Video of the deadly shooting (…) shows agents approaching the woman’s vehicle while she was parked in the middle of the street, demanding “get out of the f*cking car.”
When one of the officers stuck his hands in the car, presumably to shut it off, she tried to swerve and drive away — that’s when one of the agents fired three shots at close range. A video from another angle does show an officer briefly in front of the car as the woman tries to drive away, but he is not in front of the vehicle or in apparent danger of being run over when he shoots the woman.
These goons are hellbent on escalation, and encouraged by their superiors to do so. In fact, that’s their real job.
