I dont know that I would believe what I find on it if I did go digging.

and no I dont believe the deceased in the MN incident is innocent,  I dont know that I believe that she was doing it with intent,  but she put herself into a terrible situation and her children are paying dearly for her recklessness.

BTW, many of the insurrectionist are now seeking compensation for the time they spent in jail -- would you support that?

Footage taken by the ICE Agent forced to shoot a Minneapolis left-wing activist in self-defense proves what we already knew: that Renee Good aimed her two-ton SUV at this ICE agent and hit the gas.

As you can see, the ICE officer in question calmly exits his vehicle and approaches Good’s maroon, two-ton SUV, which she is using to block the road deliberately, and doing so while ICE is engaged in a law enforcement operation.

First, a smug-looking Renee Good taunts the ICE agent from the driver’s seat. Then Good’s equally smug “wife,” Rebecca, taunts the agent. “You wanna come at us?” she says. “You wanna come at us? Why don’t you go get yourself some lunch, big boy? Go ahead.”

It’s worth noting that the ICE agent says nothing in return. He doesn’t take the bait or allow himself to be provoked. He’s doing nothing to escalate the situation.

Nevertheless, the SUV still needs to be moved in order for these ICE officers to do their job and not risk an ambush in a hostile situation, so another agent can be heard ordering Renee to “get out of the car.”

And then it all happens within a second or two.

As the ICE agent in question attempts to walk around the SUV, apparently to assist his colleague in removing the poet from her vehicle, you can see that her tires are aimed screen right. Then she backs up while turning her tires to screen left, which aims the SUV directly at the ICE agent. Then she hits the gas and hits the agent. This is when the ICE agent, who had no choice, shoots her in an obvious case of self-defense.

Watch the video again, and you will see that Renee Good is looking directly at the ICE agent when she hits the gas.

At this point, there is no question that Renee Good did everything possible to get herself shot: She 1) interfered with a law enforcement operation, 2) refused a lawful order to exit her car, 3) backed up her two-ton SUV while being ordered to exit her car, 4) aimed that SUV at an ICE Agent, and 5) hit the gas.

At this point, it doesn’t matter what her intent was. If she was trying to kill the ICE agent, the shooting was justified. If she was willing to run over an ICE agent to escape arrest, the shooting was justified.

Once you prove — as our poet did — that you are willing to use a two-ton vehicle as a deadly weapon, you have proven that you must be stopped because you are not only a danger to this ICE agent, you are a danger to anyone else who makes the mistake of getting in your way.

In this case, deadly force was not only justified; it was the only moral choice.

This ICE officer needs to file defamation suits against every politician and media outlet that declared him a murderer.

Is there any point debating warranted shooting or not at this point? Imo that boat has sailed and it sailed the day it happened. 

I dont want to drag this out any longer than it has to for the people of this state. Many want ice to leave, no more people need to die, no more racist chants need to be raged from the White House. 

It was inevitable that someone in our state was going to die during this surge imo. Sure wish I would have been wrong on that one.

If this was yet again another example of an illegal killing a US citizen....it barely makes the local news,  there's no political gain in that story.  Its only a story because of the potential political value....which is the real tragedy.

Sadly, whats getting lost in all of this is the intersection where we do agree; removing criminals from our streets.

Like I said earlier, the problem for many is how (and why) the Feds are going about it. This looks, feels and smells like a political assault and personal vendetta against Walz. Its a campaign that has transcended illegal immigration. 

There aren't many here who believe it is only hardened criminals being pulled of the streets, or off their jobs...As a result families who are good citizens are getting torn apart. 

In the interim, I hope nobody else gets hurt or loses their life. So proud of the resilience, love/community from the peeps here in Minny..

Many, many "ice out for good" rallies yesterday and more across the state today. 

Lawful and peaceful rallies, from Mpls through the suburbs and out to the sticks of Wabasha and more...We're all counting the days till Trump ends the fed political assault and Ice leaves us alone.
