I doubt he'd have claimed self-defense if a white man had been killed instead

    If you enjoy this kind of content there's a Lady on Instagram, substack, and tiktok (maybe YouTube) that goes by "Amanda's Mild Takes" and twice a week she posts "Donald Trumps L's for the week" with great commentary making fun of him. Brings a little sanity and hope to this horrible situation.

    Yes, in this case, you're right. They apparently even find her murder funny:

    Shooter was a Republican, not even in ICE. Protester was a white man. Greg Abbott pardoned the murderer.

    I guess you're not wrong. They seem to be strong supporters of ICE, so it's unlikely that "a few side victims" would make them rethink their stance, even if it's a white man.

    But maybe Trump would've called it "an unfortunate mistake", instead of justifying self-defense, who knows?

    It looks like the victim is Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old US citizen.

    Jesus Christ. I don't care if she had a chance to survive or not. If that account is fully accurate and I'm sure it is, those fuckers 100% made sure she died for daring to defy them. They let her bleed out for 15 minutes and couldn't even bother to move their cars? Even deranged shit headed local LEO's would have rendered her medical aid. Did these losers even have a fucking first aid kit?

    15 MINUTES!

    ICE agents also prevented a bystander who identified themselves as a physician from providing medical aid to the driver. No medical aid was provided for about 15 minutes and when medical first responders arrived, their vehicles could not access the site because of the ICE vehicles and they had to walk to the driver.[14] One witness also reported seeing the shooter walk away from the scene and get in an ICE vehicle.[8][9] United States Department of Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem stated the ICE agent who fired the shots was treated at a hospital and later released.[15]

    They really don't care unfortunately. The amount of people I'm currently arguing with in the Indiana subs about how driving a car isn't threatening and ICE murdered a woman and their responses are all "she should have complied" and "she tried to run him over" and my personal favorite "she shouldn't have blocked the road" are making me fucking insane.

    They're saying they told her to get out of the car and she tried to run over the agent but it's absolutely not true.

    Massive fucking trigger warning

    It's very clear that she's trying NOT to him based off the angle of her tires but he moves to get closer to her in order to shoot

    They told her to stop and they told her to leave. They gave her mere seconds to comply before shooting.

    This is murder. But maga does not care.

    Yes, I reposted a similar post from TrollX to a smaller subreddit created to combat this fascist government. There are still a few disgusting comments like this one:

    It's so fucking crazy. ICE is murdering mothers of small children and people are still deepthroating boots like it's their fucking day job.

    Like, they're not safe either. Once the immigrants are gone, and the leftists are gone, they will turn on the bootlickers too. There's always another enemy.

    What I don't get about the self defense argument is how shooting the operator of a moving vehicle in any way improves the situation. Even assuming someone is attempting to commit vehicular homicide (which doesn't appear to be the case), if you shoot them then either you have a dead or unconscious person at the wheel, so essentially an unmanned vehicle out of control, or you have a vehicle being operated by someone who's in shock, in pain, and likely unable to maintain full control over the wheel or brakes. That might be even worse.

    The fact that her vehicle crashed into another one after she got shot proves your point clear as day. DHS's own guidelines advise against firing at a moving vehicle for this very reason. Dumbass MAGAts still say he was "acting in self-defense." No, he wasn't. If it was about preserving his life, he wouldn't have gotten in front of her car and would've tried to get out of the way instead of getting his gun out first.

    Even if his first shot was justified, shooting at her multiple times through the driver's side window cannot possibly be argued to be self-defense.

    I know I'm preaching to the choir, but goddamn. I'm so fucking tired of there being no consequences for these monsters.

    To be even more blunt, if she was about to run the ICE agent over when he shot her, then her unmanned car would still be aiming for him after she lost consciousness and died.

    DOJ's own policy does not permit them to fire at a moving vehicle as the sole means of making it stop:

    1-16.000

    Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle.

    I don't think so. I actually think that the feds are really scrambling because of the fact that this time it was a white woman murdered. White women are, statistically, the group least likely to face police violence and the group that the press is most likely to cover when it does happen. Did you know that Renee Good is the 9th confirmed ICE kiling since Trump took office? Neither did I until yesterday.

    ETA: I'm actually seeing different numbers- this article says it was 25 deaths reported while in ICE custody and that was in September but this one says 9 from back in May. So it may be much higher than I thought.

    They will kill any of us and justify it. We still have no info on the man an ICE officer shot on NYE. (We will likely find out he was not an immigrant as well. Only reason to keep it quiet.) We are lucky there was video of Renee's murder.
