On Friday morning, cellphone footage originating from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross showing the murder of Minneapolis mother and wife Renee Nicole Good was leaked to right-wing media. The new footage conclusively demonstrates that Ross deliberately positioned himself in front of Good’s vehicle to justify murdering her.

    I’m not saying she should have done that, I mean she would have a justified reason to fear for her safety and flee even if it meant endangering the officer who was needlessly standing directly in front of her vehicle. In similar situations drivers have been found to not be at fault even if they injured people with their car if they were being surrounded. ICE is violent and unaccountable, repeatedly abusing people’s rights and had no reason to be trying to open her car door or block her.

      Enforcement agents are trained to blocks path of escape, only once told to exit the vehicle did she Gun it.

      Drivers are almost always found culpable for gunning their cars at pedestrians in the street and especially federal agents.

        Agents are not trained to stand directly in front of a vehicle, all relevant training and manuals instruct officers to avoid standing directly in front of a suspect’s vehicle, and it’s actually not common that drivers are found guilty when accidentally striking a person who is intentionally blocking the path of their vehicle.
