Yesterday's reckless killing of a 37- year- old Minneapolis mother of three and U.S. citizen by a masked ICE thug, followed by overt lying by DHS Secretary and cosplaying sociopathic robot Kristi "ICE Barbie" Noem, shocked the nation. Several video recordings of the shooting contradicted the claims of Noem and the Malignant Fascist that the officer was being run over. From the Associated Press:
"Her killing after 9:30 a.m. was recorded on video by witnesses, and the shooting quickly drew a large crowd of angry protesters. By evening, hundreds were there for a vigil to mourn her death and urge the public to resist immigration enforcers.
The woman, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, had a 6-year old child, her mother told the Minnesota Star Tribune. Macklin Good described herself on social media as a 'poet and writer and wife and mom' who was from Colorado.
Videos taken by bystanders with different vantage points and posted to social media show an officer approaching an SUV stopped across the middle of the road, demanding the driver open the door and grabbing the handle. The Honda Pilot begins to pull forward and a different ICE officer standing in front of the vehicle pulls his weapon and immediately fires at least two shots into the vehicle at close range, jumping back as the vehicle moves toward him."
Close examination of the primary video shows that the ICE goon that fired the fatal shots had moved to the side of the left fender of the SUV when the shots were fired. Journalist Philip Bump enlarged frames from the video that show the ICE thug's position during the killing (click to enlarge):
Noem, appearing soon after the shooting in a large cowboy hat at an event in Texas, spun the story into a self-defense action, lying about the victim as a "domestic terrorist" who was using her car as a weapon. There is now a question whether the Trump regime's narrative will skew the official investigation by the FBI, under MAGAt cultist Kash Patel, to clear the ICE thug of Federal charges. State charges may still be filed, as Minnesota's state police are also investigating with the FBI. Stay tuned.

🥺🤬 The shooting death of the woman in Minneapolis is horrific and the situation was brought on by offers of $50K sign-on bonuses to sketchy people who are given no training, handed cool military costuming, and sent forth to neighborhoods as an occupying force to terrorize the citizenry!! 👹
ReplyDelete🤠The government official in charge of this did not even remove her own cosplay cowboy hat to announce (and lie about) an officer-involved shooting incident which resulted in death! 🤬
Whatever anybody says about the videos of the incident, it is the aftermath that tells you what you need to know about Noem and ICE. Real police officers are trained, once a threat is over, to shift IMMEDIATELY to paramedic mode. They put the wounded person on the ground, start CPR, apply tourniquets, stop the bleeding, clear a path for emergency vehicles, and allow bystanders who identify themselves as medical personnel to access the injured. The training to shift out of police mode is necessary even for people who joined the force to be helpful to the community. ICE is not the local community, did not join to help their neighbors, and are largely poorly-trained, especially in de-escalation. The shooter, described by Noem as in the hospital and expected to recover (PROVABLE LIE), clearly was not injured. He and his cohorts provided no aid, pushed away a man who said he is a physician, blocked both ends of the street with their unmarked vehicles, did not allow the ambulance into the area, and forced paramedics to carry the woman out of their barricade before they could begin any treatment! The cruelty is the point (and so is the obvious cover-up that began 10 seconds after the murder)!! Monsters!! 🤬👹☠️
