Below is my column on Fox.com on Democratic politicians and pundits immediately declaring that the ICE officer in Minneapolis is a murderer. There is a method to this madness for politicians such as Rep. Dan Goldman (D., N.Y.) who are facing primary challenges from the far left. He and others sit like Madam Defarge, simply knitting the names of expendable officers to fuel the mob.
Here is the column:
“It was an outright murder.” Those words from Rep. Dan Goldman (D., N.Y.) were echoed by Democratic leaders from coast to coast almost immediately after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, 37, as she sped toward him in a vehicle. Goldman is the Madame Defarge of American politics, the character from Tale of Two Cities who knitted as she gleefully called for the heads of aristocrats and counterrevolutionaries in the French Revolution.
Goldman has made a career of dismissing due process for his political opponents while engaging in willful blindness of the conduct of his allies. He has denied the existence of Antifa as an organization as well as claiming that he has seen no evidence of an increase in attacks on ICE officers.
He apparently needed no further proof to declare this officer a murderer: “It was an outright murder. This officer needs to not only be fired and suspended, but—based on the video—charged.”
The video does not support such a claim. Under the governing case law, the officer is allowed to use lethal force when he is facing an imminent threat to his life or the lives of fellow officers or third parties.
In this case, the officer had a fraction of a second to decide whether to fire his weapon after Good sped toward him. Good appears to have been attempting to flee the officers and flight alone is not a justification for the use of lethal force. However, when you speed toward an officer, he may treat the vehicle as a weapon and discharge his weapon in self-defense.
Goldman is fully aware that past case law supports the officer in this case. However, he is also aware that he is facing a Mamdani-supported socialist, Brad Lander, a popular local politician. Goldman is ramping up his rhetoric to appeal to the radical left from promising impeachments to calling for the prosecution of this officer. This officer is no longer a human being, he is a prop to be used for political gain. If he has to go to jail to secure a third term for Goldman, he is viewed as a small price to pay.
Others have joined the murder mantra, including Mamdani, who declared, “This morning, an ICE agent murdered a woman in Minneapolis—only the latest horror in a year full of cruelty.”
Mamdani insisted that he was going to focus on retaining existing NYPD officers rather than adding more officers. That seems unlikely as he shows that officers cannot expect him to support them if they are involved in such shootings. The mayor immediately joined the mob, dismissed the need for an investigation, and declared the officer a murderer.
In an age of rage, the loudest and angriest is king.
That was evident in the profane, unhinged diatribe of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey who immediately not only declared the officer a murderer but called claims of self-defense “bllsh*t” and told ICE “get the f–k out” of the city.
When many of us denounced his conduct, he mocked his critics by apologizing if his profanity “offended their Disney princess ears.”
Gov. Tim Walz followed suit. As his head of Public Safety insisted that they would not speculate on the outcome of the investigation, Walz stood next to him in declaring that Good was killed for no reason and portrayed ICE as terrorizing the state. Walz previously denounced ICE as “Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets … being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons.” Ironically, he then added that these people have “no chance to mount a defense.” That concern apparently does not extend for Walz to members of law enforcement.
Goldman, Mamdani, Frey, and others are traffickers in rage, feeding an addiction in the hope that these mobs will propel them further in power. Law enforcement officers are simply expendable when political advantage is at stake.
Democrats showed the same cynical calculation in condemning border agents falsely accused of whipping migrants at the Texas border. Even though videotape refuted the claims, leading Democrats and the media pushed the false claim. The agents were then subject to over a year of abusive treatment before being cleared of the charge.
There is a method to his madness. As Madame Defarge assured her husband, they must ignore the cost to others because “Nothing that we do, is done in vain. I believe, with all my soul, that we shall see triumph.”
Democrats may indeed “see triumph” in rage politics. However, history has shown that today’s revolutionaries often become tomorrow’s reactionaries. Goldman is already facing a challenge from the left that he is not radical enough. Feeding a nation of rage addicts can prove a dangerous business when someone offers purer, cheaper highs.
For now, however, no one will out rage Goldman or others. They remain on a political hair-trigger to find triumph in the tragedies of our times.

JT analysis video….Roll it
This is the interview that spells it all out.
Everyone here should watch it.
A woman showed up in a truck
Her plan to harass and obstruct
At the road she hastily blocked
She soon faced a 9mm Glock
Bad decisions took over her thoughts
Now we see just what they have brought
See she decided to push on the gas
To run down an officers ass
She wasn’t too nice
To the agents of ICE
And now she is deader than f*ck
So what from this is learned
From this latest life that was burned
Don’t play stupid games with a car
Don’t be a martyred WOKE star
Just watch and let ICE do their job
By deporting the Somalian mob
Tim Walz will spread fear and some dread
Scream out the top of your head
It’s better to be nice
Especially to ICE
Far better than ending up dead
Beautiful! You are, indeed, the Bard of the Blog.
😜Gracias
Just because I am a character doesn’t mean that I have any character.
You clearly love that ICE killed an American. MAGA!
That’s ridiculous, a tragic event. I don’t take pleasure in any loss of human life. This is very similar to that of poor Ashli Babbitt. Of course, the real difference would be Ashli was not threatening anyone’s life nor did she have a lethal weapon where this poor misguided mixed up brainwashed soul did. One was a murder, this recent event a justifiable homicide, neither should have happened.

Anonymous at 5:36 pm………Are you, by any chance, our old friend Squeeky (Squeaky?) who used to blog here a few years ago and deliver fun poetry? Just wondering.
No Cindy but I remember her, I use to Travel a bit…
Thanks.
We had a conversation long ago about Braxton and a bit of our Southern heritage.
You and I had that conversation? or you and Squeeky??
I remember talking with a couple of people about Southern heritage, but “Braxton” doesn’t ring a bell. And btw, if you’re a Southerner, I like you already! 🙂
It is tragic for the victim, her family and friends, and the ICE agent, but I can’t generate a lot of sympathy for people who try to obstruct federal agents.
Like Jan 6th rioters. Outrageous Trumpsters think they are heroes.
Your pants are on fire 🔥
Patriots, we think they are Patriots. They had the Balls to stand up against a rigged corrupt election and many paid a hefty price for their patriotism.
There are no heros in this incident.
It is a tragedy – but it is a tragedy of the lefts making.
Do not F$%K with LEOs doing their job.
If you do not like a law – take that up with law makers not law enforcers.
I have noticed a general trend for leftists to like making criminal laws but not in enforcing them.
.JS, what are these protectors of illegal or undocumented people actually thinking? They see the group as targetted. They refuse to acknowledge immigration laws. Why?
The Jan 6 rioters consisted of 274 undercover FBI agents, operatives, and provocateurs.
I am curious. Assuming he is found not guilty or the Feds decide there is no/insufficient evidence to prosecute, can the ICE agent sue Goldman, AOC, etc who have accused him of murder for slander?
Can you?
Yes.
According to former ICE lawyer. ICE agents have absolutely no authority over any American citizens. There jurisdiction only governs illegal immigrants. Only real police officers have that authority since they are properly trained to de escalate situations.
So the ICE agents has no authority to reach inside her car or block her travel. ICE agents could have simply wrote down her license plate number and called real police officers.
BS, you can’t interfere with federal officers and if you do they can arrest you. No.if you are a US citizen ICE is immigration enforcement so they would have no reason to go after you with the exception of if you were helping someone to escape ICE.
Lawyers say all kinds of things to influence public opinion, but don’t bet your life on it being true. Lawyers are known liars.
BS. You also think Jan 6th rioters were heroes and should never have been prosecuted.
^ J6DS on display ^
Your retardation on display.
No, we don’t think they were heroes, we think most of the rioters were FBI agents and Antifa anarchists.
A very small number who initiated violence against the CP should have been prosecuted.
And were. But they were prosecuted without due process and their pardon is appropriate.
Your Lawyer is incorrect. ICE agents have nationwide jursidiction over anyone engaged in aiding illegal aliens and anyone interfering with their actions.
ICE agents are real police officers, But just like Minesota Police do not enforce Federal LAw – ICE agents do not enforce State law.
They do enfore federal immigration law – including immigration laws that related to US citizens.
ICE Agents are federal law enforcement officers, and can enforce federal law against anyone. In particular they can enforce the law that forbids anyone to obstruct their carrying out their lawful duties.
Weird, seeing all of these “I WATCHED THE VIDEO” weirdos claiming there was no officer in front of the car.
Clearly, all of the videos every other reasonable person saw showed that there definitely was.
It’s too bad the white lesbian freak was indoctrinated into that anti-ICE cult, but it is just an extension of her/their TDS as we all know.
Just so those with any doubt are clear:
– Blocking traffic is NOT 1A-protected speech.
– Threatening, resisting and attacking ICE agents, and/or any other LEOs may get you killed.
– Trying to kill ICE agents, and/or any other LEOs, with a gun or motor vehicle or ?? SHOULD and WILL get you killed.
Ice agents have been threatened, attacked and shot at by these cowardly, law-breaking protesters.
To quote the legendary Will Smith, “Don’t START nuttin’, won’t BE nuttin’.” 🙂
The media: it looked like he was contacted by the car.
No.he was hit, injured and treated at the hospital. This was the second time he was hit by a terrorist in a car. The media avoids mentioning all this to sow doubt in people’s minds.
Well it was a mostly peaceful protest….
Just saying.
-G
If he wasn’t in front of the car explain the hole in the window that was a straight shot? Did he have right angle bullets?
Cliff Jackson;
There are multiple videos that are from angles where the officer in front of the SUV can not be seen or where he is not seen until the Officer at the door backs away and then only if you look carefully.
Like many others I initially assumed the officer with his hands in the Car Shot Good.
But further Video as well as the bullet hole in the front windsheild make it clear that was not the case.
While the arguments fo the left are full of schiff the most shown videos create a false impression of what happened.
Pam Bondi had a legal deadline of December 2025 to release 100% of the Epstein files. As of January 8 Bondi has only released 1% of the files.
Bondi should release the 99% of the Epstein files before legalizing an illegal takeover of Venezuela.
Maybe Turkey could opine. Can Bondi simply ignore legal mandates?
We’re not distracted by your shiny object.
A legal deadline that is not possible to meet is not a deadline./
And now a non emotional response.
1. The agents were enforcing the law on the books for years.
2. She followed the word of her partner and went to the protest.
3. She blocked the street with her car.
4. The agents vehicle had their red and blue lights flashing.
5. This created an ambush situation.
6. She did not stop the car.
7. She put the car in reverse and started to escape.
8. The agent in front of the car relaxed some as the vehicle was going in the opposite direction.
9. She changed direction and lurched towards the agent.
10. the car could have travelled 30′ in 1 second
11. He reacted as trained in that one second.
EDIT: 2. A She had been trained how to resist ICE
So now only if?
OT, yet one more Democrat government official explaining that through her actions that she hates free-speech: Nebraska State Senator tears down Prager U’s patriotic historical display from state capitol wall and throws them on the floor of her office. Does she object to patriotism, or to displays of history? Maybe a psychiatrist can accurately diagnose her mental illness.

we need to condemn both sides for rushing to judgment.
the officer did easily sidestep the vehicle.
I just feel if you’re too much of a girly man to step out of the way of a vehicle accelerating from 0 to 5 mph without feeling that your life is in danger, you probably should not be in law-enforcement. I come closer to being hit every day crossing the street in New York City
“we need to condemn both sides for rushing to judgment.”
People do that = it is normal.
If the facts change our judgement can change.
It is good to wait – to avoid looking like a fool.
But it is not a requirement.
“the officer did easily sidestep the vehicle.”
Not sure that is true – but it is not relevant.
My Wife is an appelate public defender and whenever there is an interaction involving police and someone in a vehicle in my municipality there is always a LARGE number of charges.
Watching this video OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD
We have fleeing
Failure to obey
Atleast 6 counts of endangering.
Several counts of agrevated assault – the video is not clear enough to count each and every one.
And that is off the top of my head.
My guess is that a local LEO would come up with about 2 dozen charges based on this video.
Many of those would merge if there was a trial and conviction – endangerment is a lessor included to Assault.
I do not like the fact that is the law, but it is the law.
Certain aspects of it are correct.
In situations like this – YOU are obligated to obey LEO’s – if you do, there is no possibility of additional charges.
If you do not the charges will add up quickly.
The law presumes that once a LEO asserts authority over things – they must be obeyed – short of being ordered to murder someone,
I understand the logic – but I do not completely agree with it.
Regardless it is the law.
If an LEO orders you to do something – do it.
Argue later with lawyers.
“I just feel if you’re too much of a girly man to step out of the way of a vehicle accelerating from 0 to 5 mph without feeling that your life is in danger, you probably should not be in law-enforcement. I come closer to being hit every day crossing the street in New York City”
The danger – and not just to the officers was that Good had refused to obey an LEO order and was recklessly fleeing.
The standard at that point is not “in exactly these curcumstances is everyone able to get out of her way safely”
It is “Is there a real potential for immediate serious bodily harm to anyone”
Your analysis covers the first shot. How do you assess the shots taken at the fleeing vehicle?
It was fleeing directly towards him, trying to run him over. That could have killed him. He got a hand on the car and it slid him backwards which is why he didn’t get ran over. He shot because their was a very good chance of him slipping under that car and being ran over
Turns out the shots were fired by an agent in Front of the vehicle, Not on the side.
Regardless, If the first shot was justified the 2nd was too.
The shots were not at a fleeing vehicle – though you can shoot a fleeing dangerous criminal.
No I don’t need to condemn what I can see and know
He was hit by the car, injured, taken to the hospital and treated, and released later that day.
Target practice for new ICE agents.. .
Typical lies, slander, and incitement to violence from your diseased mind.
Funny but no.
His 40lb electric bike isn’t a threat.
Her 1+ ton SUV is .
Turley is correct when stating the the courts will view the car as a weapon. Note that the officer had been hit/dragged by a fleeing suspect earlier.
She failed to obey lawful orders.
Well you know the rest.
Thank you so much, Dr. Turley! I always appreciate your reasonable, thoughtful, and truth-based commentary!
Talk about rage. A federal officer approaches a female driver sitting parked yelling “Get the F**k out of the car!!”
…while lunging to yank open the driver’s door.
This can be heard on the recording.
What level of professionalism do you call that?
At least the deceased woman’s lesbian partner is taking some responsibility for this tragedy. The ICE / DHS leadership could afford to be more conciliatory and measured, rather than defensive and accusatory. I’d like to hear what Secy. Noem thinks of one of her employees using vulgar epithets in communicating a command to a citizen, a woman??
Right, because it’s against the law for LEO’s to use the F word in the heat of a high-adrenaline confrontation with a violent protester. /sarc
High-adrenaline confrontation! .. . that’s a good one. /sarc
I would say that is accurate. As we have seen, some Democrats have been raising the rage rhetoric higher and higher. People have assaulted ICE LEOs. They have doxx them, followed them around, and blocked them. And as we have seen in this case, hit an ICE LEO with her vehicle. So, when confronted by these far-leftists, ICE LEOs have to consider the confrontation may get violent, as they may be forced to defend themselves from these obviously deranged people.
A violent protester? She was sitting in a car.
Not just sitting, driving the car in a way that committed violence against two officers.
Yes, and a 5000lb is by law a deadly weapon.
There it is the singularity of leftist thought, the speciality of class! ?a woman? Surprised the lack of color wasn’t added.
“Talk about rage. A federal officer approaches a female driver sitting parked yelling “Get the F**k out of the car!!”
…while lunging to yank open the driver’s door.
This can be heard on the recording.
What level of professionalism do you call that?”
This is what prolice all over the country are taught to do.
Take forceful control of the situation.
If you do not like that – change the training.
Regardless, Government is FORCE, Law enforcement is FORCE.
If you do not want FORCE used – do not make laws.
” I’d like to hear what Secy. Noem thinks of one of her employees using vulgar epithets in communicating a command to a citizen, a woman??”
Given what ICE agents have to deal with every day – I think she has no problem.
I certainly don’t.
You do not want to be arrested and sworn out – do not break the law.
Lets see what happened to cause the ICE agents to exit their vehicles and surround her.
She continued to disobey lawful orders. That amps up the situation.
And her wife… she has some potential legal risk.
She was party to the obstruction.
The death of her wife occurred during the commission of a crime (obstruction.)
She could be charged for her murder.
Think about that for a second….
-G
Who does that ICE officer think he is using language like that, the mayor of Minneapolis?
She wasn’t “parked”, she turned her car perpendicular to the street thereby blocking the agents egress and possibly endangering them with a mob arriving. If you think for one second that a person can block a street intentionally in order to thwart a police action you are dumber than I thought.
Turley Writes:
“Simply knitting the names of expendable officers to fuel the mob”.
…………………………
Is Turley referring to the mob Trump unleashed on Capitol Police 5 years ago this week?
Don’t give us this MAGA law & oder bunk on the 5th anniversary of January 6th. 150 cops were injured on that date.
January 6th delusions always strike the gullible and liars.
ok Boomer. Man all your eyes are struggling with out the Obama Care subsidies. Some free clinics offer eye exams
Me Trump supporter. Me no like democrats or traditional republicans. Me like Trump cuz he get good pussy but him not pedophile even if him daughter hot. Rioters good. Me like. MAGA!
A good comedian can make you laugh at yourself.
You are just pathetic.
The resulting protest outside the federal building was also interesting. A federal ICE official is yelling at protesters that they can’t trespass onto federal property. That agent was trespassing onto Minnesota property and blocking traffic.
The news video shows “0” protesters standing on federal property, but ICE officials are standing on public roads owned by Minnesota or the City of Minneapolis blocking roadways not owned by the federal government.
The video also shows a perimeter fence around the federal property. There were only 3 driveways where protestors could stand on federal property. Way too many federal agents to protect 3 driveways. Paid for by you and me.
The question is why were federal officers standing on property under the jurisdiction of the Minneapolis police or Minnesota State Police?
Your credibility in reciting the facts is near zero. See below.
ICE has no real jurisdiction on city streets.
Bull. ICE has authority as federal LEOs to operate on city streets. If that weren’t true, ICE would have to basically invite illegal aliens to a party at ICE headquarters and just hope they showed up.
They absolutely do. They have no jurisdiction over US citizens who are not committing immigration related crimes.
But their jurisdiction is nationwide.
Public roads are just that–Public. Any of us is allowed to use public right-of-ways, even federal agents.
“The resulting protest outside the federal building was also interesting. A federal ICE official is yelling at protesters that they can’t trespass onto federal property. That agent was trespassing onto Minnesota property and blocking traffic.”
It is extremely difficult to “tresspass” on public property.
Regardless the Federal government excercises sovereignity over every square inch of the US.
“The question is why were federal officers standing on property under the jurisdiction of the Minneapolis police or Minnesota State Police?”
The entire US is the Jurisdiction of Federal Officers.
Last time I checked…
MN is a State within the boundaries of the US.
There’s this thing called public land.
Then there’s this thing called the supremacy clause… Feds trump States.

Thank you for your informative column, Jonathan. Democrat behavior on the issue is disgusting. Can those who spread lies and aid and abet the violence be prosecuted for defamation, obstruction, or even insurrection?
We tried that with the Jan 6 insurrectionists, trump pardoned them all.
TDS on display. Jan 6 was the only riot the Dems didn’t like. It was not an insurrection, no matter how many times the Dems tell that lie.
Insurrection – an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government – Merriam Webster. Like storming the capital to prevent the certification of an election. Now you should look up cognitive dissonance
They were let in by the Capitol police, and stayed inside the velvet ropes. Then two groups arrived not Trump supporters entered the court yard and FBI asset Ray Epps incited those people to attack the Capitol.
Ask yourself how those that rapelled down the Capitol breaking windows when the riot started, so they were already there, got past the intrepid Capitol police to the roof? They were let in ahead of time.
By that definition Good, Walz, Schumer, Pelosi, Mamdami, … are all guilty of “insurrection”
Going to the capital to demand that Congress refuse to certify a lawless and corrupt election is called free speech, free assembly and petitioning govenrment.
Without a doubt the CP can impose reasonable restrictions on those seeking to do so.
They can search them for weapons, they can limit those who can be in the Capital and the legislative chambers to reasonable numbers at one time. They can have reasonable limits on how long you can be there.
They can remove you if you disrupt procedings.
They can NOT prevent you from petitioning govenment.
They can not tear gas you on a whim.
If it is not possible to petition govenrment at the capital – then congress is not free to act.
Votes of congress take place in public – the US does not have star chamber govenrment.
Ashley Babbit was executed and her executioner got away with it. She was unarmed, not behind the wheel of a 6000 lb orchid.
Besides it’s already been proven J6 was a government entrapment set up by Nancy Pelosi and the Capitol police, FBI and Antifa started the violence.
Getting the facts straight: there was an officer with hand inside vehicle and an officer standing in front of left fender, the officer in front was the officer that fired the shot. I saw footage of the windshield with a bullet hole lower left on windshield close to the pillar, the whole incident lasted what maybe outside 5 seconds, video I watched starts at officer reaching for door handle with his right hand, one second later he has what appears to be left hand reaching inside, one second later (somewhere in this second or next is when shots were fired?) it shows car has moved the officer now near the rear door, and officer in front appears to be leaning forward with feet spread apart, one second later the vehicle has moved were both officers appear as one, on second later the front fender officer appears to still have his weapon hand drawn as the vehicle moved past.
The officer that fired the shot near the left front fender did not move before he shot, nor after he shot and the car clearly missed him. Standing in front of the car is not what he did. It was murder plain and simple. I look forward to the indictment.
What you said is not true. Watch the video again. The officer that fired from the left is the same as the one who fired through the windshield from in front of the car. He shot then moved out of the car’s way and shot again.
I’m not saying his second and third shots were warranted in that specific circumstance, only that there is some question about it that is very fact-specific and will have to be hashed out by reviewers who are expert at these types of quick, high-adrenaline situations involving an armed officer and a hostile/violent protester (she was undoubtedly hostile and violent given her reaction when the first officer told her to get out of the car and reached in to unlock the door, which foreseeably endangered multiple officers).
In the frame by frame you can see the shooting officer has a foot off the ground from jumping out of the way. When the car started moving it was headed straight toward him. He was so close to the car he may have not been able to see the tires beginning to turn. There is a bullet hole in the FRONT of the windshield. When that bullet was shot, the officer’s gun was in front of the car, and the car was very close to him. In that split second, did the officer have the time to determine the intent of the driver? There is a time delay between the firing of the bullet and hearing the sound of it. If you can see smoke from the gun, that might be a better indicator of the timing of the shot.
It is error to try to pretend that the required conditions to distinguish between justified and unjustified shift in a split second.
The shooting was Justified from the moment Good almost backed into the two officers behind the car.
Now the fact that a shoot is justified does not mean that the officer MUST shoot.
The decision to fire is distinct from the justification of the shooting.
The decision to fire is made in a split second.
We can 2nd guess that and say – maybe I would not have fired.
But once justification exists the determination of whether to shoot is up to the officer.
“The officer that fired the shot near the left front fender did not move before he shot, nor after he shot and the car clearly missed him. Standing in front of the car is not what he did. ”
Then you have not seen all of the video.
The officer “near the left front fender” was directly infront of the driver and the car ran directly into him.
His leg was moved around backwards – for which he was hospitalized.
He was bent over the bumper when he fired.
“It was murder plain and simple.”
While the fact that the officer directly in front of the SUV who was being run down is the one who fired makes it much clearer.
The shooting was justified no matter What officer fired.
The shooting was justified even if Good was NOT head directly at a specific officer at the time.
She was resisting arrest recklessly meanuevering a 5000lb deadly weapon – she was a threat to everyone.
She either stuck or nearly struk the two officers behind the SUV when she backed.
That is reckless indifference which makes her a threat to everyone arround.
” I look forward to the indictment.” Good can not be indicted – she is dead.
You waste you time with these liberal trolls. This was a great site for discussion before they showed up. Now it’s a clown show because of them. They will make up any lie to provoke people.
she was married to a man and then just like that she turned lesbian. these white liberal females are deranged lunatics
Penny Lane
@Penny_FL13
Renee Good made a bad choice today. Her life is over because her radical ideology took over any sense of rational thinking. Good was reportedly a poet and mother of three children who grew up in Colorado Springs. She was married to a guy who died in 2023. She had apparently turned gay, living in Minneapolis with her partner, who was reportedly on the scene filming her intentionally blocking ICE.
White liberal females are the most deranged people in society. This woman has nobody to blame but herself. She’s dead for protecting gang members, illegals, and fraudulent Somalis.

Assuming the driver even saw the ICE agent while being distracted by another agent (neither clearly dressed as cops).
If the driver was intentionally trying to run over the officer, the front wheels of her car would be pointed in that direction. The opposite is true, her wheels were pointed away from any agents and she was moving very slow.
According to professional policing standards and the DHS rulebook, agents should never create a dangerous situation by standing in front of cars and should never shoot at a car driving away unless posing extreme risk to other people.
This agent apparently shot 3 shots while the car was driving away from the agent. Some had justified that the agent possibly suffered PTSD from a previous similar incident. In that case the agent would be required to have undergone physiological counseling for the prior case and possibly been temporarily benched prevented from using weapons.
If the driver was intentionally trying to run over the officer, the front wheels of her car would be pointed in that direction. The opposite is true, her wheels were pointed away from any agents and she was moving very slow.
Get your facts right. I watched the video multiple times, including the original and the slow-motion videos. Her car physically hit the agent, there is no doubt about that. He had to be taken to the hospital. It’s clear as day in the videos. Also you may say “slow” from the comfort of your armchair, but from the point of view of someone being hit by the hood of her car, she was certainly going fast enough to cause serious injury or death if the agent didn’t act quickly.
If you want to be taken seriously, don’t falsify the facts. You’d do much better to make arguments that the facts support. There are some such arguments, in case you were wondering. Such as . . . were the second and third shots warranted? Possibly not. If not, then did was the first shot fatal (thus rendering the second and third shots factually inconsequential)? These are important facts and determinations that need to be made. Your tendency to falsify the facts does not advance the ball in any way, other than to incite people like you to more violence.
BS is right. The officer that shot did not move as the car passed him by. He was in no danger of being hit as he did not move his feet when he shot, nor after he shot. If he was in the way of the car, the car would have either hit him or he would have had to move. He did not move and was not hit. This was murder.
All three shots were fired by the same officer. The one that was hit by the hood of the car. He was not running and shooting at the same time. He was moving to not get killed by the car, then stopped for a split second to fire. So if your sole point is that “he did not move his feet when he shot,” that’s true but limited. He was moving, then stopped to shoot for split second, then kept moving.
BS
“Assuming the driver even saw the ICE agent while being distracted by another agent (neither clearly dressed as cops).”
Duh – she came to an ICE raid and deliberately blocked ICE from exiting – that was BEFORE the video , but there are plenty of witnesses.
She absolutely KNEW the guys in Black Police Gear With Police written on them were LEOs.
She did not stumble into a ninja terrorist cell after interfering with ICE.
“If the driver was intentionally trying to run over the officer, the front wheels of her car would be pointed in that direction. The opposite is true, her wheels were pointed away from any agents and she was moving very slow.”
As I have noted before – from the moment she backed into the two ICE agents behind the care – the shooting was justified.
It does not matter precisely where her wheels were pointed. She was acting recklessly and a danger to everyone arround.
“According to professional policing standards and the DHS rulebook, agents should never create a dangerous situation by standing in front of cars”
ROFL – there is no such standard. Police use their bodies and cars and all kinds of things to prevent others from fleeing all the time.
The dangerous situation was created by Good.
Her Vehicle was STOPPED and she was ordered out. SHE chose to flee, and she did so without regard for the safety of others.
“should never shoot at a car driving away unless posing extreme risk to other people.”
Again the Officer who was in contact with the front bumper shot through the front window.
But your rule is not a rule.
“This agent apparently shot 3 shots while the car was driving away from the agent.”
Not apparently – just plain wrong.
While this would be a good shooting even if you were correct, you are still NOT correct.
“Some had justified that the agent possibly suffered PTSD from a previous similar incident.”
No one has “justified” based on that – PTSD is not a justification for an illegal act and not a justification for a legal one
” In that case the agent would be required to have undergone physiological counseling for the prior case and possibly been temporarily benched prevented from using weapons.”
Keep making things up.
Officers are injured in the line of duty all the time.
An injury as a result of some jerk doing something stupid only causes PTSD in fragile left wing loons.
It is likely that this officer will suffer lifelong traume as a result of justifiably shooting Good.
Taking a life is very hard on people even when justified.
It is highly unlikely he suffered from PTSD as a result of some illegal idiot resisting arrest.
If that were the case we would have no police.
Democrats Once Again Threaten Civil War To Stop Republicans From Taking Away Their Slave Laborers
MINNEAPOLIS, MN — For the second time in American history, Democrats are threatening civil war if Republicans do not stop taking away their slave laborers. Democratic Governor and former Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz has warned that he is prepared to call up soldiers to fight the Republican administration if it does not stop removing his state’s slaves. “We’re prepared to fight,” announced Walz in a press conference. “We demand the immediate withdrawal of the Union, excuse me, federal troops who are taking away the slaves. If the government will not recognize our state’s right to slave ownership, we will have no choice but secession and war.” Several other Democratic states have threatened to join Minnesota, in what the states are tentatively calling a “Confederacy.” Plans are already in the works for a battle flag, featuring an “X” pattern with a star for each seceding state. Troops from multiple Democratic states are reportedly being massed near the Bull Run River in Virginia for training. At publishing time, Walz had announced a new national song for the seceding states, “I Wish I Was In Dixie.”
