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 am a grown-up. That’s why I believe running cars at federal employees is no more justified than running them at dogs in the street. I hate ICE…but pretending this incident is okay because it’s politically convenient is an insult to everyone’s intelligence.
So much of that, you’re really just losing everyones attentation and potential allies. Propaganda like this is why we keep losing elections to idiots like trump
If she had been trying to hit the agent a lot of people would say she was justified. ICE goons are murderers and abusers and I would fear for my safety if they tried to open my car door. But either way, he was never in danger and he murdered her for bruising his ego.
This is mob violence logic. You decide someone is bad, then justify anything done to them.
Saying she would have been justified to hit an ICE agent with a car because you hate ICE is the same thinking used to excuse every atrocity. If violence is acceptable against people you fear or dislike, then there is no moral standard at all.
I’m not saying she should have done that, I mean she would have a justified reason to fear for her safety and flee even if it meant endangering the officer who was needlessly standing directly in front of her vehicle. In similar situations drivers have been found to not be at fault even if they injured people with their car if they were being surrounded. ICE is violent and unaccountable, repeatedly abusing people’s rights and had no reason to be trying to open her car door or block her.
You are responding to an article a video that show he intentionally put himself in that situation, and prepared to do exactly what he did. And then shrugged and fucked off, while she died and the dog sat in the back seat.
Propaganda? What video are you watching?!
You watch the kristi noem special release of the footage? Because she clearly didn’t drive towards the fascist asshole.
