On Friday morning, cellphone footage originating from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross showing the murder of Minneapolis mother and wife Renee Nicole Good was leaked to right-wing media. The new footage conclusively demonstrates that Ross deliberately positioned himself in front of Good’s vehicle to justify murdering her.
I’m so confused. The video clearly makes this less cold blooded and a tragedy of errors. Vehicles are weapons and driving away with people walking around your car who also have weapons is a recipe for this type of thing. There are whole conversations on this site about people saying they need more self defense because of this, but they should also recognize that if they were in this situation, they would’ve seen this as a defensible act to protect themselves. Politics aside, this is a good lesson around awareness when trying to protest something and antagonism. We literally watched extremists kill people with cars and are mad about this. If the person was a maga guy, the narrative would’ve been that he got what was coming to him for being dangerous.
No, they aren’t. They can be used as a weapon, but they are not weapons. Fuck off with this shit.
Are you suggesting that people should just open the door of their car for any armed thug? If she had been shot for driving away from a gang, would you be blaming her still? Obviously not. Fuck off with this shit
That’s because MAGA is inherently stupid and violent. They get the blame for running people over because they frequently try to run people over. They aren’t civilized, they’re shit-throwing chimps.
See : James Alex Fields and Heather Heyer.
Quit making excuses for your fondness of boot-licking.
You are a lying piece of shit, Tony.
He walked towards her car and was close enough to see she wasn’t armed. (Both of her hands are on the steering wheel and she doesn’t have time to stop steering to grab a gun. And there’s two men very, very near her car watching her every move.)
He went around the back of her car, possibly to see what bumper stickers she had on it. A tactic ‘police’ use to see what they are dealing with.
He then moved his phone from his right hand to his left so he could pull his gun out. You can see this hand swap in his own video.
He stood in front of a moving car. Which anyone of decent intelligence knows not to do. Christ, little kids are taught to stay out of the way of moving vehicles. AND law enforcement are trained not to do this.
The only reasons to do that are immense stupidity or to escalate the situation.
She was turning away from him as she drove away, relatively slowly. There was no wheel spinning. This wasn’t an iraqi insurgent hell bent on blowing up a road block.
He pulled his gun instantly. He was itching to get his gun out.
He shot her in the face and head without hesitation. Why didn’t he shoot the tyres, or engine? Why didn’t he shoot her arms, or torso. Why aim for the head of an unarmed person?
The real question is why shoot at all?
Police aren’t supposed to just execute bad guys that are trying to escape, so they are definitely not supposed to shoot at unarmed civilians that are pulling out of their own driveway.
After he shot her he calls her a “fucking bitch”.
There’s no point in this that he’s not fucking things up. He went out that day to murder someone.
Fuck right off. He did absolutely nothing to stop the vehicle. The vehicle moved forward. He was unharmed.
He was not in any danger.
Yeah I’m not an expert, but I’m pretty sure he could have shot the tires? Like. Disable the vehicle, don’t kill the driver. They had plenty of other vehicles around they could have boxed her in with. I’m not saying that boxing her in and ripping her out of her car is okay, but it sure is infinitely better than murder.
I don’t know where people got this idea that you can shoot tires to stop a car. Your car will go a long way with a flat tire. And it will go a long way on just the rim. And it will go a long way dragging the rotor, knuckle and even the fender on the ground. There is two ways to stop a vehicle with a gun. One is get lucky enough to hit a critical component, like the computer or the throttle control. Two, is to use a big enough gun to make an inspection hole in the block.
I’m not saying that it will make the car stop, but will sure as hell make it harder to get away.
Won’t really make a difference. Your car will go 70mph on flats. They’ll probably shred or catch fire, quickly, but it will get there.
