From Title 1, U.S. DOJ Policy on Use of Force:
“Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury … and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle.”
Also, placing oneself in the path of a moving vehicle constitutes officer-created jeopardy and undermines any claim that deadly force was necessary.From Title 1, U.S. DOJ Policy on Use of Force:

All Americans should be sickened by what happened to Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis. ICE agents escalated a situation, and an American woman was shot dead on an American street.
From the information I've read, the ICE shooter left the scene of the killing, which, I believe, is also a crime.
I will not publish any comments that blame Ms. Good for her murder.
I've watched the videos of the killing. Noem's and Trump's statements are inexcusable lies about what happened.
From "The Other 98%":
"Protests are erupting across America because Renee Nicole Good — a 37-year-old mom, a poet and writer — was murdered by ICE in Minneapolis, and the administration is blatantly lying about what happened.
People have seen the video. They know the truth. And they’re refusing to let it be buried.
On Wednesday, during a sweeping ICE operation forced into a residential neighborhood, an officer fired into Good’s car and killed her.
Within hours, the Trump administration locked into a familiar script. They claimed “self-defense.” They said she tried to run officers over. They blamed “agitators.” They demanded the public stand down and trust them.
But the video tells a different story. Everyone has seen it.
The footage shows ICE agents swarming a stopped SUV, grabbing the door handle, shouting conflicting commands, escalating a situation that didn’t need escalation. As the car begins to move away, an officer fires multiple shots. There’s no mob. No charging vehicle. No imminent threat that justifies a bullet to the head.
And that’s why the lies are collapsing in real time."
The escalation was a natural outcome of the pss poor unethical leadership of ICE and the Presnit of the American Empire building Trump.
ReplyDeleteI took a look over at the Mother Ship; and, surprise! surprise!, they're all blaming the victim and siding with the killer. The U.S. DOJ policy on the use of deadly force plainly states when shooting an American citizen in the head is warranted. It certainly was not warranted in this instance. What is stomach-turning is that the woman who shot her own puppy in the head and our Felon-in-Chief both blamed the victim before any evidence was available.
DeleteOur country is being run by lawless thugs.
ICE's track record shows that they don't have the kind of comprehensive training that real police officers get, and have a mentality of using excessive force as the norm and acting as if they're above the law. It was inevitable that something like this would happen eventually.
ReplyDeleteTrump and Noem don't remotely have the intelligence or compassion to handle this properly. They'll double down and spew insults and threats at anyone who doesn't kowtow to their bogus version of what happened.
The Mother Ship, described in another blog as a little group farting into the wind, should have to read this - https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/08/us/renee-nicole-good-minneapolis-ice-shooting-hnk
ReplyDeleteAnd explain to her 6 year old "Your mother was shot in the face by a masked man"
I viewed the news coverage and unless there was a view not presented the ICE officer was in danger for a very brief time and took one shot then two other shots while she was driving away. Shooting someone who is fleeing and not danger to others is inexcusable. Common sense says if a LEO says stop you do but we are in a society who has little respect for LEO's and teachers still it was wrong.
ReplyDeleteWhat human being would not be terrified to see a masked man with a gun shoving his hand into her car. She obviously was frightened, and the ICE agent escalated the situation by drawing his gun. The sane thing would have been to just let her drive away. The ICE thugs made a minor situation into a killing., This is their fault. Period.
DeleteStill have to get that snarky dig in about the woman that was shot in the head...
DeleteSkud blames the victim. "The ICE officer was in danger". Who's surprised?
DeleteBULLSHIT! He STUPIDLY walked in front of her car and was CLEAR when he opened fire!
Stopping for neo-Nazi ICE goons means being beaten to the ground and taken to jail without chargers.
Say, Skud, why don't you tell us if the 2020 election was stolen or not?
Do you blame Biden for rigging it?
You silence tells us you do.

Trump: “It is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital.”
From what? Did he have a heart attack when it sank in that he murdered someone?
He wasn’t run over, he walked 50 yards down to the crash site and 50 yards back, and then he drove off. And he’s hospitalized?
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
George Orwell, 1984
Perhaps Orwell could explain why the political party that refused to wear masks has their personal police force wear them?
ReplyDeleteThis was posted yesterday on Twitter:
ReplyDeleteBREAKING: Minneapolis Police, chief Brian O'Hara just contradicted Trump, saying that Renee Nicole Good was the only person injured during today's incident, after Trump said that the ICE officer was injured and recovering in the hospital.
There is actual video of the ICE killer walking calmly and without even a hint of a limp toward the woman's car, and then walking away and leaving the scene of the killing.
Trump is a lying liar, and so is the woman who shot her puppy in its head.
skud likes following 2 things for sure.
ReplyDeleteA) Following the dictate of his Fuhrer. B) Following the path of least resistance.
A and B are self supporting.
The path of a MAGAt.
If your government murders a frightened young mom in front of everyone and then accuses her of being a domestic terrorist then you live in a fascist shithole.
ReplyDeleteHow long will it take to find out the shooters name besides never.
ReplyDeleteICE murderer's name is Jonathan David Ross.
