Truth is VERY Important Because it is What Builds Trust.
President Trump and his following have been extremely dishonest about the Ice shooting in Minneapolis; Trump initially posted that Renee Nicole Good was a "domestic terrorist" who intentionally "ran over" the Ice man and that he was "in the hospital recovering"...etc. And other parts of his regime followed suit. Their statements were so far from the obvious truth that it became a gaslighting situation and an unfair slandering of Renee. Their heartless dishonesty made this whole situation far worse for everyone.
Anyone who looks at a slowed down close up of the recorded shooting, which gave a view of the driver's side of the vehicle, can see the shooter's legs directly behind the Ice man who is at the door of the woman's car. He is not in front of the car - he is beside it at the front corner. And it is very obvious that her tires had been sharply turned to the right to avoid him. She was not trying to run him over and he was in no danger. AND anyone can see that she was trying to escape a volatile situation - while an Ice man was angrily yelling at her to, "Get out of the F_ing car" and was even reaching into her car trying to force her door open. Renee was, no doubt, scared and just trying to get away from them when she was shot and killed. THIS IS THE TRUTH. And I think I would have done the same thing she did in a scary situation like that.
The recording from the shooter's phone shows that Renee and her partner were not being threatening at all. They were doing what I would call, sassy harassment, and this appeared to have triggered the Ice men into a rage.
BOTH sides of this situation have a justifiable defense of fear being a possible factor. It appears that the Ice men have been being targeted by some people as masses of people protest against them and tell them to leave their neighborhoods or towns. And Trump and his Ice immigration men have been horribly inconsiderate and have been scaring masses people as they target democrat run cities; masked men who do not show their badges storming into communities to abduct people and tear families apart is a terrifying thing, especially because many of those people are not criminals and are harmless poor immigrants or harmless advocates for a free Palestine...etc.
In this situation it was the Ice men who were being threatening before the shooting. An unedited version of the last recording released shows one of the Ice men angrily saying, "F_ing bitch" directly after one of them shot and killed Renee. To, me, this says that they were in a place of hate. Even IF they were also in a place of fear, killing an unarmed and non-threatening woman was wrong. Renee did disobey the belligerent demand to get out of the car and obviously fearfully tried to get away from angry swearing masked Ice men, and this MAY have been just cause for an arrest, but certainly not just cause for being killed. They had her plate number. They should have just let her go, after they had scared her into leaving.
Immigration officers should behave with professionalism, showing their faces and badges and being kind and courteous and considerate of people's feelings, like most of our law enforcement professionals have always done here in America. Because Ice has not done this, it has lost the trust of most American people. Drastic positive changes should be made. And those changes should include ALL hate filled trigger happy thug types of people being removed from Ice, and Ice staying completely out of at least the democrat communities, which Trump has been using them to target and harass. The real criminals can be caught by our professional law enforcement agencies (local police, state police and FBI) that are not a threat to the American people. Military men and armed angry masked maga thugs do not belong in the policing of our communities. They just don't.
But Trump's regime actually doubled down on their obvious lies - still gaslighting everyone, falsely blamed democrats for the hell Trump and Ice are raising in Minneapolis, and have ordered even more Ice people into Minneapolis, while its leadership and its residents are in a state of grief and fear and are demanding for Ice to leave. Trump and Noem know this will cause more upset and seem to want the fighting and chaos and hardship to vamp up. Any decent leaders would have at least backed off for a while to let things calm down after a fatal shooting, and Trump and Noem's blatant lies about it and approval of murder, have upset so many people, that massive protests have been happening in Minneapolis as well as nationwide. This massive increase in Ice deployment is not about "fighting crime" and appears to be primarily about harassing and disrupting and hatefully (sometimes even lethally) fighting against democrat run areas and poor immigrants and America citizens who do not agree with or vote for Trump. And its not nearly only democrats who can see that what Trump is doing in this situation, as well as many others, is wrong and very bad for America.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT NONE OF THIS ICE HELL SHOULD BE HAPPENING. I hope our military and Ice and all levels of our law enforcement agencies will start exercising their right to refuse to follow Trump's orders, when Trump is trying to use them for his own personal vendettas against "the left," against harmless poor immigrants, against people who disagree with him or people he is prejudice of, and against the people who have the land (oil, gold or minerals) that he wants to violently steal for himself and his rich acquaintances.
This probably will not happen to a large degree, with Ice, because it appears that at least some of Trump's maga following is people who have been drugged and brainwashed and are prejudice and hateful. And on top of this, the news channels (or podcasts) they tend to watch have not been honest about what Trump says and does; The ones that Trump calls "fake news" have actually been the more honest ones. But some of them sway back and forth and some seem to fear Trump following through on his threats to ruin them if they report on the negative things he does. I have done about a year of watching them all and there is no doubt of this reality. Ultimately, in order to get the real full truth we have to watch different channels and then depend on our own instincts above all else, until this hell is over and things are back to normal.
ICE Agent Fatally Shoots Minneapolis Mother, Renee Good
P.S. Most news places have not shown the Ice men's profanity, but its there and is an important indication of their state of mind before they killed Renee. If they can't control their anger, they should not be doing a job like that. And the protesting people also should NOT be belligerently yelling and swearing at the Ice men... Don't be provoking them, because this is not right and it also could get more people hurt, until we can get them out of our communities. Please just PEACEFULLY protest.<
