FUCK ICE. Enough is Enough.

Renee Good's Death Should Enrage EVERYONE

So yesterday ICE agents in a massive raid in Minneapolis ended up killing Renee Good, the 37-year-old mother of a six-year-old who is now orphaned.

Good was shot in the face and head at point blank range as she was clearly seen on video attempting to drive away on a residential street.

Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem were quick to post online and issue statements fully exonerating the agent while victim-blaming Good, calling her a “domestic terrorist” who they accused of obstructing the ICE operation.

They concluded all of this before even a nanosecond of investigation.

The video of this deadly shooting, which occurred four blocks from where George Floyd was murdered by police in 2020, is something every American should watch. Because our eyes don’t lie, and the video so clearly contradicts what both Trump and Noem have claimed.

In the video we see Good’s car parked sort of sideways on the street while an ICE agent’s vehicle rushes up and an aggressive unidentified masked agent storms over to her yelling “Get the fuck out of the car!” as he grabs the handle and tries to open the door and pull her out.

What happened to, “Hello ma’am, I’m agent so-and-so, and I’m asking you to first show us your hands and then please open the door and exit the car.”

That first agent escalated what could’ve been a routine, non-violent situation. What right did he have to approach Good in such a confrontational, threatening manner?

At that moment, likely terrified, Good put her car in reverse and backed up a couple of feet, and then before moving forward turned her wheel to the right in an obvious attempt to avoid any agents that were towards the front of her car.

An agent positioned near the front several feet away then drew his revolver right as the car began to pull forward. He fired a shot into her windshield and then two shots directly through her open window. The car then drove itself a few yards before crashing into a parked car and a tree.

When he fired off the second and third shots the car was actually passing him, and it’s clear on the video that he was safely to its side.

So why did he think at that point his life was in danger? And with no other agents in front of her, who else was he trying to protect? More so, he fired off his shots so wildly that the two other agents just feet from him by the side of Good’s car could’ve been injured or killed by his stray or ricocheted bullets.

When the car came to its eventual stop, did the ICE agents run over to see what her condition was and to administer first aid? No. The car just sat there. Smoking. With a dead or dying Good inside.

A few moments later a physician walked over and asked if he “could take a pulse”. They told him to stay away. And when he identified himself as a doctor, an agent barked “I don’t care.”

This whole episode was a fucking procedural mess.

Are we living in Nazi Germany? Because it sure as fuck seems like we have Gestapo agents on American streets terrorizing and killing our citizens now.

After the shooting a frustrated ad enraged Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey had some harsh words for Trump, Noem and ICE:

“They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit. This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed..and,” he continued, “I have a message for ICE. To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here”

It’s important to note that the agent’s actions are believed by experts to have violated all tactical policy of law-enforcement by putting himself in front of a moving vehicle. And just because a vehicle is moving does not justify the use of deadly force. The use of deadly force is justified only by the immediate threat of significant injury or death against you or other agents nearby.

Good was not a target of Wednesday’s ICE raid nor was this agent legally justified in shooting her. At worst case she was merely protesting, or perhaps obstructing the operation, or even fleeing. She did not deserve to die. In my opinion, she was murdered.

Trump has been warned for months by various governors and mayors that something like this tragedy would happen because of his draconian immigration policies, and increasingly violent ice raids. But he nor Noem listened. They didn’t, and don’t, care.

So now we have the death of this young woman. And possibly more to come. And do you think this tragedy will temper the administration’s incendiary rhetoric and dangerous ICE operations in American cities? Fuck no. Trump is not capable of admitting error, or demonstrating contrition. He is a heartless, sadistic bastard who is already doubling down, making worse an already volatile, dangerous situation.

Because Trump’s ultimate goal is to militarize our cities, cause civil unrest and violence, and ultimately invoke the Insurrection Act to fulfill his fantasy of absolute power.

The chilling reality is that ICE is running wild. It is led by Noem, one of the most unqualified, incompetent, blatantly corrupt cabinet members in history. And it is being manned more and more by agents who’ve been hired under lower standards and are receiving 50% less training than in the past. That’s a recipe for further disaster.

And now the investigation will be conducted only by the FBI, which the agency announced today, effectively freezing Minnesota state and local authorities out of the process.

Can you say cover-up?

Because now that Trump, J.D. Vance, and Noem have all concluded that the agent is innocent and that Good is guilty, there is no fucking way FBI Director Kash Patel is going to conduct a fair, honest and objective investigation. There is no fucking way he’s gonna defy Daddy.

One of the most interesting facts to come out in the last 24 hours is that the agent who shot Good was involved in a near-death incident in June where he was dragged 300 feet after being struck by a car driven by an undocumented immigrant attempting to flee. The agent needed 30 stitches.

So did he have that harrowing experience in mind when he reacted yesterday? Was he being overly sensitive to the prospect of being injured again, or killed, and he perhaps overreacted?

That question, and all the other questions that need addressing, is why a detailed, thorough, independent investigation, in conjunction with the state of Minnesota, needs to be done.
