An FBI investigation is underway after an ICE officer fatally shot a woman in southern Minneapolis on Wednesday, in an incident characterized very differently by local and federal officials.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot behind the wheel of an SUV near the intersection of 34th Street and Portland Avenue just before 10:30 a.m. CT. U.S. President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem both described the woman as an agitator who had been interfering with ICE agents on scene.

Noem, a central figure in Trump's immigration crackdown, said Good ignored officers’ orders to get out of her vehicle and "weaponized" the SUV by deliberately trying to ram into the officer. She said the agent shot the driver three times in self-defence.

FBI is there to cover for the fascists, to make sure it stays a federal issue. Pedo can only pardon federal cases.

Worst part of all of this is no one is asking who the murderer is, name, titles, address, etc. Ofc the victim is identified and plastered everywhere in the news, but not the murderer.

    In many cases, self-defense cases end up finding the killer innocent, because the killed person isn't around to tell their side of the story.

    Just make sure they don't survive, you'll probably be fine.

    Better off getting a sentence than getting dead. Don't take the risk.

    I have no idea why you're being down-voted, but you're correct.

    We citizens don't enjoy qualified sovereign immunity, A.K.A., "rex non potest peccare". Neither should law enforcement, if the world was fair.

    We go to jail, or worse, if we try the "I feared for my life" defense.

    Not in the slightest, at least to me, anyway.

    Even though the current administration and many denizens of Lemmy don't give a shit about legal definitions, philosophies, and frameworks, I still think its valuable to strictly define terms and concepts.

    Bullies' confidence whithers in the face of precisely demanding accountability.

    Thanks again for the correction.

    Exactly! I think when arguing against something, being accurate strengthens your position greatly.

    I agree that cops never being held criminally liable for blatantly violating the law is a cancer on society, and I appreciate you now using the right term to not give opponents to the argument ammo to use against you (not that it's a likely thing on Lemmy).

    I also agree that qualified immunity shouldn't be a default protection, although it does need to exist to some extent. Even when they're doing their job exactly as they ethically should be, people can get injured and property damaged. But it should be something an independent review board awards.

    Yeah, I've seen this video and sure the driver was at their worst causing a nuisance to ICE. I'm not convinced that should be crime worthy of a death sentence by an "agent" that thinks he's a street judge.

    What I saw entirely contradicts the narrative the US administration is trying to pedal.

    The ICE agent was at no point under threat. Rather than move out of the way of the vehicle (which was turning away from him anyway), he stayed where he was and drew a firearm. It's clear this move was designed to make them stop and get out of the car. Instead she (and I think in quite a valid way) panicked and tried to drive away. He fired, THEN moved out of the way and fired more. A clear, calculated move on his part.

    Objectively it's an attempt to completely rewrite the narrative to say she weaponized the vehicle, that the agent was run over, or that he was in fear for his life. These are all very obvious lies.

    Now, I'm an outsider here. But I have to say this does make me think of other dictatorships and autocrats of the past and present. They need citizens to fear for their lives when they encounter agents of the state. This was true in Germany of the gestapo, and they want it to be true in the US of ICE. If they are successful in protecting this agent. If this does not go to trial (and it MUST be a State trial, for obvious reasons) then I fear this is the reality you will face.

    The rest of the world cannot help you. We can only watch in horror as events like this unfold.

    I think in the case of refugees from the US (which I guess is the implication here?). I think most countries won't accept that. Not because deep down they don't (or won't soon) recognize that there might be good grounds for it. But that they don't want to poke a stick in the direction of what is a very volatile government over there right now. Especially one that has shown they're not above just invading another country for their own ends.

    The UK will especially be unlikely to do so bearing in mind our current leader has done his best to avoid any criticism of the administration and is generally going out of his way to appease the US president. Our next leader (oh I wish I could say it won't be him) is more likely to side with the US administration AND make asylum harder to claim.

    This seems to also be happening a lot in Europe right now. Hence why I say, you cannot count on us. Militarily we can't do a damn thing, our leaders are doing their best to keep crosshairs pointed elsewhere, and things are only likely to get worse and not better over here.

    The FBI just kicked the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension off the case as well, which means it'll be a cover-up of massive proportions.

    Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension withdraws from ICE shooting investigation, says FBI blocked access to evidence The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) – the state’s top investigative agency – announced today that it would be withdrawing from the investigation into the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis by a federal immigration agent.

    Like honestly. No one has been stopping this administration from actual war crimes and crimes against humanity, and the FBI are right in line. I'd be willing to bet that they either stall as long as they can, or just outright announce that their investigation found no wrongdoing and he was perfectly justified and will be right back out on the street; maybe with a shiny new medal.

    It's a white, charismaric woman, a mother, with a mother that's white and only says good things about her, last name Good. This is very different than bombing some brown dictator commies that "had it coming." I saw how quickly a mass protest organized. Putting the two together, I think there's a much higher chance for this to get out of control and derail their agenda. Could be wrong of course.

    Politically underdeveloped take. The thing about trying to come up with a third way (not capitalized) is that it will inevitably either result in putting yet another layer of makeup on capitalism and ultimately changing absolutely nothing, or rediscovering some variety of socialism that some guy invented a hundred years ago. Socialism almost by definition has a monopoly on any and all forms of fair and equitable society.

    There's a lot more to socialist politics than communism or leninism.
