"They need to be hung for what they done and he’s a bad person really bad people like them don’t deserve jail eye for an eye I believe they take all rights away what about human life dose that not matter plus a child with out there mother and disrespectful. " So your an armed officer doing your job and someone drives a mobile deadly weapon towards you and your saying you just expect the man to let her run him over and kill him ?? A child without a father ?? Or is this OK as he an I.C.E Officer ?? Ahhhh this forum never disappoints me  | |||

"Why did she try to escape when she was stopped? Nearly ran over the officer in trying to get away. " No she didnt. When he shot her he was by the side of the car and shot her through the side window. | |||

"Why did she try to escape when she was stopped? Nearly ran over the officer in trying to get away. No she didnt. When he shot her he was by the side of the car and shot her through the side window. " Looking at the video the officer was initially by the front left headlight. The first bullet he fired passed through the bottom left-hand corner of the windscreen. You can see this bullet hole quite clearly on the video. As the driver pulled away, turning the wheels to the right, the officer naturally now appears by the driver's side window, and he fired at least one more shot from that position. She was rather foolish to try to drive away when she'd already been instructed to get out of the vehicle. | |||

"I have watched the two vids from different angles several times and there is no way that woman put anyones life at risk. She was driving to the right, away from where that gun toting arse was. Worse case scenario, the woman failed to stop when requested. Is that a reason to fire 4 shots into her vehicle? " Spot on. There is no justification for shooting her dead. None. Don't say "I would have stopped my car". It's irrelevant. She was murdered. | |||

Yet people will repeat how she was endangering the agent's life and ask whether she was in the US illegally as if those justify her shooting. | |||

"Quite a lot was she innocent or guilty of a crime. Was she getting arrested & going quietly was she running away unless you know full story it’s hard to judge the situation.," The full story will never be known now as the officer decided to shoot her in the face. Even if she was not complying with an order to stop that is in no way a proportionate or acceptable measure. And if the officer really believed she was driving the car at him, is he really that stupid to think shooting the driver of a moving vehicle would stop it before it hit him? He murdered her and the US Government has now sanctioned the free killing of its own citizens by it's armed officers on the flimsiest of pretexts. Civil war is undoubtedly following. What a vile, horrible country | |||

"Why blow put someone's tyres when you can blow out someone's head. The state of things in the States isnt exactly an example of The American Dream anymore." Mrs Good was a US citizen and was stopped by a gang of armed people wearing balaclava face coverings who exceeded their authority in ordering her to vacate her vehicle, these were NOT police officers. To accuse Mrs Good of any attempt to use her vehicle as a weapon is ridiculous as is clear from the videos. Don’t be at all surprised that the supporters of the convicted criminal and wholesale murder Trump are attempting to justify this obvious case of cold blooded murder. For how long will the American people tolerate this deranged idiot dragging their country into the mud? | |||

"Nyt have combined 6 or so different angled videos and it was 100% a cold blooded killing. Also ice don't have the powers for a traffic stop. Plus two goons shouting at her, one to get out of the car and the other to move the car out of the way. Think she is the 5th killed by ice upto now?" That's pretty much what happened, yet Trump, JD Vance and Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, have all spoken out in favour of the ICE officer. When I say 'spoken out', what I actually mean is 'blatantly lied', because the world can see with its own eyes what happened, and it bears no resemblance to how they have dressed it up. As usual though, these bullies will get away with it. | |||

"This same officer was badly injured in July of last year when trying to stop a car. It dragged him hundreds of yards. An experience like that is likely to shape your response to any perceived threat." He casually walked round the front of the car when it was manouvering in reverse, then was at the front corner as it turned away from him and began to slowly drive forward at about 2MPH. He shot her once as he stepped aside, then pumped two more rounds into her through the open side window. As the car came to a halt across the road he casually strolled over and took a picture of her with his phone. Not one of the officers showed any duty of care towards her, they just left her there. It was an execution. | |||

Worse case scenario, the woman failed to stop when requested. Is that a reason to fire 4 shots into her vehicle? " This descriptiom is fairly accurate. It misses out on the point that initially the car reverses first a metre or so then the driver pulls off slowly to avoid the officers. Then there were shots. It is very sad that the poor woman was killed. It should be up to an unbiased agency to fully investigate the incident unfortunately the FBI have taken over and stopped any local involvement form the state authority. Trump and the Department of Homeland Security has alleged that the victim, Renee Good, was attempting to run over law enforcement officers when an ICE officer fired his gun. We are witnessing a time when something that appears to be true will now be blatenly twisted and altered by a Goverment, so that it can proceed with it's agender. This could be the end of Justice. | |||

" What were their grounds for suspecting she had a weapon, if indeed that was the reason because you're the first to mention it? The officer who shot her walked straight over to the car, when it stopped, took a photograph of her and then walked away. No doubt she was unresponsive, where is their duty of care? | |||

"She drove a car at an ICE officer not the actions of a law obiding citizen ... so they will treat that as someone who is dangerous and possibly armed ." DoJ guidelines don't say that, the authority for shooting the driver in such circumstances doesn't exist. It specifically states that an officer putting himself in the way of a vehicle does not validate a decision to shoot the driver. It's a moot point anyway, she was trying to drive round them. | |||

"That's always been the way with US law enforcement -shoot first, think later. Sadly familiar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings I think it's all too easy to look at it through UK/Irish eyes - while a law enforcement officer shooting someone here would be very unusual, in the USA 1000 people are killed by law enforcement every year" Just because it's a regular occurrence in the USA doesn't make it a legitimate action. All to often power is placed in the hands of poorly trained and wrongly motivated individuals in organisations that are not looking after it's citizen it is supposed to be serving. | |||

She obviously was, and may well have used her car to try and block their progress. Not particularly successfully as a car clearly gets round her just before the shooting starts. Those guys identified her as a protester, tried to intimidate her into getting out of the car then blew her away when she made that snap decision to try and get out of the situation rather than do as she was being yelled at to do. I honestly don't know what's so difficult to understand about what was so clearly caught on video from several angles. She did not drive the car directly at the guy who shot her. She was not acting aggressively towards them. It's very indicative of what's going down when Trump can say "fine people on both sides" after a guy deliberately rammed a crowd of people and killed one in 2017, yet immediately splurges his fever dream leftist commie conspiracy when someone gets shot for trying to exit a dangerous situation at all of 3 mph or something. | |||

"The biggest issue that this poses to Trump and his presidency is what little trust is left between him and the majority of the American public. You can manipulate and lie and try and control the media as much as you want but ultimately in a democracy with rules with a written constitution you will be cast aside. He is losing support at home therefore spending more time on global projects helping his family business interests. The midterms in November will no doubt be the turning point. Just an interesting fact. California accounts for over 25% of the American economy. Interesting fact 2 American schools are censoring books on gay culture as we speak at the behest of Trump." He's in his second term so he'll be cast aside anyway, and he has no real interest in the wider Republican party anyway. Plus, with only a two party system there are very few voters who change their allegiance anyway, so they'll keep voting red or blue regardless | |||

Indeed, the investigation is now in the hands of the FBI, and while the video footage will form part of the evidence, there are likely to be several other important factors that aren't, as yet, immediately apparent. Forensic analysis and witness statements are likely to provide more context. It is important to be patient and allow the process to unfold and all the various surrounding factors clarified, before drawing conclusions. | |||

"If she had just got out of the car as the law enforcement officer had instructed her to" If that's actually what happened, it would seem reasonable. They were not calmly "instructing" her to leave her car. There was no "please get out of your car with your hands visible, ma'am" as we've seen on stops by actual professional police officers. They were pumped up rage monkeys yelling hysterically "get out of the fucking car now" with weapons drawn. | |||

You are aware they would have to make sure that Mrs Good was not also carrying a weapon and to make sure it was safe for medics to attend the scene . Good point, she might have been pretending to be shot and waiting to ambush them with one of her kids plushies. Are you an ICE officer? I think they need a man with your critical thinking skills " And here we have a childish reply because the truth just doesn't suit you awww didumms I hope you don't have nightmares tonight, next time think logically and not like a childish immature "adult" And if I lived in America of course I'd be an ICE agent , getting paid to kick migrants out and protect your borders win win. | |||

They are federal agents and can detain US citizens in limited circumstances, such as if a person interferes with an arrest, assaults an officer, or ICE suspect the person of being in the US illegally. Driving a car at an agent would definitely class as an assault | |||

I suggest that you fact-check that erroneous statement and you will find that ICE officers are in fact, trained federal law enforcement officers, not mercenaries. The claims about money, training, and equipment are false and meant to mislead. They're authorised to enforce immigration and customs law which is what they were sanctioned to do in the unfortunate Minneapolis incident. | |||

Construction 2. Agriculture 3. Manufacturing 4. HGV Driver 5. Waste and Recycling 6. Mechanic 7. Scaffolding/Roofing 8. Security Services 9. Taxi/PH Drivers 10.Police Officers *USA's top 10 most dangerous jobs:* 1. Garbage Collector 2. Logging Worker 3. Roofer 4. Truck Driver 5. Firefighter 6. Iron/Steel Worker 7. Police/Detectives 8.

Electrical Power Line Tech 10.Pilot ¹ Source: UK data from HSE (Health and Safety Executive) 2021/22 statistics; US data from BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) 2022 data. ...so I was three out....shoot me..." It was a difficult not dangerous job though | |||

"There's now new video footage from a protester which shows her talking pleasantly and calmly to them. She was clearly nothing to do with the protest, lived on the street and was just taking her big dog out, which was in the back of the car. From the looks of it she was merely moving her car out of the way of vehicles with sirens on and could have easily assumed it was nothing to do with her so carried on moving slowly. It was a very confused and intense situation, but she was not part of it other than getting a bullet in the head. There was no risk to officers, it was a shoot on sight and ask later, so murder. The fact the president is justifying it should chill us all." You kind of expect it from Trump, Vance and their hired help, it's pushing their cynical agenda after all. What dismays me is the number of ordinary people who apparently disbelieve the evidence right in front of them in the videos and insist she was somehow asking for it. | |||

"Could have shot the tyres out " For what purpose? They had no good reason to shoot either the victim or her car. | |||

"Don’t you think so many people have issues with authority now ? Not directly with this case but in general There was a gang member in London ages ago drove a car at police officer and was shot He got named and charged with attempted murder " The death of Chris Kaba was a totally different matter. He was a violent criminal and the car had been involved in an attempted murder. The officer was quite rightly acquitted, in fact I don't believe he should ever have been charged. | |||

"Renee Nicole Good, a 37yo mother was shot dead by one of Trump’s ICE gang on the street of Minneapolis 2 days ago. Here is an opportunity to voice your opinion of this outrage. A tragic incident, the investigation is still ongoing, and there are conflicting reports about exactly what happened. Let's wait for the facts to come out before making any judgements. The facts are there on eyewitness video. The investigation has been taken over by the FBI, now run by one of Trump's sycophantic rim lickers. Good luck getting a fair result from that. Indeed, the investigation is now in the hands of the FBI, and while the video footage will form part of the evidence, there are likely to be several other important factors that aren't, as yet, immediately apparent. Forensic analysis and witness statements are likely to provide more context. It is important to be patient and allow the process to unfold and all the various surrounding factors clarified, before drawing conclusions. " It's a pity that Trump, Vance and Noem didn't follow the advice about drawing conclusions. People should expect better from those in authority, instead we're witnessing their shameless, barefaced lies. | |||

Her family claimed that she was leading the group of vehicles in attempting to obstruct federal law enforcement... She was a member of a group specifically formed to obstruct ICE operations... | |||

"Meanwhile - In Iran .... "We don't always agree, but good point. Spelling it out, Trump is threatening divine* intervention if the Iranian regime shoots more protesters. Meanwhile ICE shot a couple more individuals in Portland yesterday. *Literally - he thinks he's God. | |||

"If you think that was a justifiable act then maybe then the National Guard would have been equally justified if they had opened fire with automatic weapons on those who stormed the Capitol in 2021? " Given that the baying Capitol mob had broken into government property and were explicitly looking for trouble and to catch politicians with whatever intent to injure in mind, the National Guard would have been considerably more justified in responding with firearms. That they didn't is testament to their professionalism. Something ICE agents seem to lack. | |||

American citizens are more likely to be killed by a cop than a terrorist...especially if you're brown or black. " Here's another ... Over the 28 year period from 1980 to 2008 93% of black victims in the USA were killed by black offenders. The annual rate in more recent years is around 90%. Source: the Bureau of Justice Statistics Over the same period black perpetrators accounted for 52.4% of murders in the USA, whereas black Americans only represent about 14% of the population. The rate in 2019 was 55.9% [source: FBI]. | |||
