“Fcking bitch,” Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renee Good, says in the video.*
A newly released cellphone video, apparently filmed by the ICE officer who killed Renee Nicole Good, and obtained by Minneapolis-based Alpha News, a conservative-leaning nonprofit news site, appears to sharply contradict the U.S. government’s public account of the fatal Wednesday shooting, raising new questions about whether the agent who opened fire was ever in immediate danger.
The footage was recorded on a cellphone by ICE officer Jonathan Ross, not by a department body camera. It captures Ross’s own perspective as he approaches Good’s maroon Honda Pilot during what the Department of Homeland Security claims was a federal operation in south Minneapolis.
😂😂 if you don’t understand, it’s a bot or a Trumper. I’m starting to see how Lemmy works. 👍
One month old account and this is the only topic you’re responding to. High probability that you are an extreme loser.
Ya know, this might get buried, but I’ll say it anyways. I’m almost 40 and I’ve seen a few things, but I’m not so much upset as just confused. How can everyone in this country watch the same video and half of them say it’s definitely one way while the other half say it’s definitely the other way? That’s happened more than once in the past few years, which is why I say it seems contrived. I’m not a republican or a democrat. I think both sides are up to their ears in corruption. Does that make me a loser? Can we have an actual conversation? I’ll refrain from sarcasm and name calling if you will.
Because half of America has been brainwashed by Fox News to believe that liberals should be murdered.
A poorly trained US government agent just executed a mother of 3, whose last words were “that’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you”, while he spat FUCKIN’ BITCH after her corpse. There used to be a time the Republicans would be screaming that this is an abuse of government power, now they all have erections and are frothing at the mouth in their excitement of the execution of a liberal.
Ok, but isn’t that pretty fucking extreme?! I’m not saying you’re wrong at all, but if you’re right, at least half of the government and half of the nation are all brainwashed on some hidden hand agenda. I’m no stranger to conspiracy theories, but are you saying we’re coming to the culmination of all that?
It’s not hidden at all, this is the culmination of almost 70 years of work by the right wing.
How Conservatism Won
Interesting. So what comes next? Civil war or hostile conservative takeover? I’m certainly not arguing we aren’t headed for fascism.
Yeah, probably. Centrism is a loser ideology.
Except when you realize that both parties - aside from a few specific Democrats - are totally right of centre.
Like, the Democrats are moderate but solid right-wing neoliberalists, and the Republicans are off-the-deep-end alt-right fascists. So there isn’t a “centrist” position because there is no-one left of centre to balance things out; there is no in-between position that is actually at the centre of the political spectrum.
Even AOC and Bernie would be considered centrists anywhere else in the world. So any use of the word “Centrism” within the bounds of American politics really means “strong right-wing”.
And when almost everyone is right of centre, they really can be grouped together as being equally evil and hostile to the common man.
Now, if you were to look at any first-world country with an actually-functional democracy, you would be correct, because these countries actually have socialist parties that advocate for the masses, and seek to advance the needs of the common citizen. But I digress…
Agreed, but what’s the alternative? I can’t get on board with Libertarians either.
I don’t necessarily think you have to get on board with a party. In some ways, I understand the plight. A lot of politics caters to the rich, and if we have a two party system and they both show disdain for you, it feels like that’s it. However, a lot of party politics can be done at a local level, and while that is a generic answer, it is the answer. You can change your local party to cater to you because you make up a bigger proportion, and you can get your neighbors on board too. Show up and question your local politicians and they will be forced to change or they can be replaced.
It’s a boring answer, but it’s unfortunately what you have. Focusing on the big politics isn’t feasible.
It’s a real answer. Thank you.
For the other side: how is it justified for him to be firing at the car at all?
His feet in the video clearly show that he was hit, even if it wasn’t that hard. He could have avoided it by stepping aside, but that doesn’t change the fact that her tires were turned towards him when she hit the gas, but she quickly turned the other way to avoid him. Was that on purpose? Who knows, but it makes sense to me that he would want to fire at the car if he believes he’s about to be run over, which would be true whether he’s a demon or an angel(the same being true for calling her a bitch immediately after). Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s justified according to the law, just like if someone hits you in the face, many people’s reaction would be to hit back, even though that might not be the right thing to do. Beyond that, we have many years of videos of police interactions with people where they did have to shoot, sometimes when someone tried to run them over, which would be vehicular homicide. That’s the case for justification.
