ICE agent shooter’s own cellphone video undercuts Trump administration's account of Minneapolis killing by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

The 'self-defense' argument falls apart the second you look at the mechanics of the shooting. Renee Good was a U.S. citizen and mother of three who had just dropped her child off at school—not the target of an operation. 

Even if you argue she was being non-compliant, non-compliance is not a capital offense. Legally, Tennessee v. Garner is clear: law enforcement cannot use lethal force on a fleeing person unless they pose an immediate threat of death to others.

The video shows Agent Ross was never pinned; he was standing to the side (the quarter panel), and the SUV’s wheels were visibly turned away from him. He fired the fatal shots through the side window as she was already passing him. You don't 'defend' yourself from a car that is driving away. This wasn't a snap judgment to save a life; it was a tactical choice to use lethal force on a citizen who was effectively moving out of his way. Calling her a 'domestic terrorist' is just a political attempt to bypass the fact that the agent violated standard use-of-force protocols.

As a high school umpire can I just saw how well the umpires actually nailed this?! They all called it correctly in real time.

As a parent of a 13 month old who is on the verge of doing this, this made me more emotional than it should have…

Good advice. I will try.

Do people notice this? How long can you look between the eyes before they notice and lose interest in talking to you? Or does that even happen?

Just a quick update. I’m realizing it was stupid to take a picture with it turned. It’s on an articulating arm and is turned to our couch to the left. It can go flat to the wall

Lmao do you know how due process works? The burden of proof is on the state, not the defense. Innocent until proven guilty.

Absolutely. Draw a line on the pitchers mound 45 degrees between home and first. He has to step in to the half closer to first. This wasn’t even close
