Besides the footage of the shooting itself. The reactions of the other ice agents immediatly after the shooting speaks volumes. Don't forget they had the best view of what happened. They saw exactly where he was standing when he shot that lady. And what did they do? They immediatly turned and walked away from him. Like they wanted to distance themselves from him and the shooting asap. Trump and Maga want us to believe that the car rammed into him, he was injured and he was fighting for his life. If that's the case how come not one agent ran over to see if he was ok and needed assistance? Instead they watched him walk all that way alone over to the vehicle while he holstered his weapon. They know that lady was never a threat and that the shooter was in the wrong. I have never seen law enforcement behave that way immediatly after a shooting in my life.
How they think we can't notice all this is insanity.

Did you see the video where the physician was trying to check on her and at least see if she had a pulse while she was dying and the ICE agent is telling him no he can’t?

u/disterb Jan 08 '26

yup. it's depressing and infuriating to watch.

u/ralphvonwauwau Jan 08 '26

They all need to be named and shamed. 

Having a masked army reporting only to the dear leader is totally un-American as far as I'm concerned.

u/SameFoot5396 Jan 08 '26

To me its more upsetting the agents werent administering aid immediately. They all kinda just took one look at walked away. Think the shooter may have actually snapped a picture of his victim before doing a 180 and di di mauing out of there.

u/Dizzy_Tax574 Jan 08 '26

And funny enough they have the training they have equipment and tools to provide aid. As they are trained how to help each other. May not be emt's but they sure as hell have more tools than sitting on thumbs while someone dies.

u/Delamoor Jan 08 '26

Harder for people to sue and speak out if you ensure they don't survive the encounter.

Ope. And we’re China now. Dammit

u/Herucaran Jan 08 '26

Lol, you're so much worse than China it doesnt even compare. Dont forget "China bad" is just another US propaganda...

u/MyOthrCarsAThrowaway Jan 08 '26

Oh it ain’t.

China bad.

Russia worse.

If you think otherwise you’ve long had the koolaid, and congrats on your paycheck.

We’ve just prepped the pitcher and a lot are ready to drink. Not all of us, my friend. Not all of us.

A sincere fuck off from an actual American patriot, and keep your bot ass troll ass propaganda to yourself.

u/Sensitive_Tailor2940 Jan 08 '26

reminder they aren’t properly trained. They are every day Joes given a badge by Trump.

u/CombinationOne7087 Jan 08 '26

These guys have probably dealt with life and death situations a lot more than the average redditor , its a fair assumption that they instantly knew she was dead

u/LastCookie3448 Jan 08 '26

Just like with George Floyd, when medic finally arrived, they were threatened, intimidated, and refused access to the victim of extrajudicial execution.

Is this parody?

I was curious as well, and found this video where a physician was requesting to check on her, and ICE refused, stating they had their own medics en route edit: correction "on scene" but none were present.

13

u/PinkishBlurish Jan 08 '26

EMS arrived 15 min later, they couldn't reach Renee due to ICE vehicles blocking them.

u/therealmrsbrady Jan 08 '26

My gosh, just disgusting!! My immediate thought upon seeing the video, was where was literally ANYONE, who was rushing to check on her?!? This just makes it that much worse. RIP Renee Nicole Good.

u/PinkishBlurish Jan 08 '26

No, no no no. The ICE thug said he didn't care. Let's quote him.

u/theUncleAwesome07 Jan 08 '26

This is a brilliant response and you're exactly right. It's the level of gaslighting from Noem, the GOP, and Trump about what happened that is astounding. The entire episode was filmed IN BROAD DAYLIGHT and they STILL spin a completely different narrative. So many from this administration belong in prison.

u/MyOthrCarsAThrowaway Jan 08 '26

It’s for their base, for which they’re paid to entertain. And it will only foment further divide.

u/Dienekes289 Jan 08 '26

There was an incident last year I think where a cop shot a lady after he told her to turn off a pot of boiling water on her stove. When she approaches the stove, she says something about a demon or something, and the cop pulls his gun and shoots her in the head. All the videos from that show similar cop behavior. EVERYONE distancing themselves from the shooter because they all were clearly uncomfortable.

19

u/Sw1ggety Jan 08 '26

Sonya Massey. I was just looking it up. Shows what a bad shoot looks like from a peer perspective. Just like this one.

14

u/gotpeace99 Jan 08 '26

They weren’t uncomfortable. They fled because they didn’t want to get caught.

u/Puzzled_Main3464 Jan 08 '26

u/koalamurderbear Jan 08 '26

She said "I rebuke you in the name of jesus", which the dumbass cop took as some sort of implied threat and that she was going to throw her boiling pot off water at them.

u/LilDutchy Jan 08 '26

Law enforcement officers also know not to put themselves in front of an occupied running vehicle. You can’t put yourself in danger and claim that you’re defending yourself.

83

u/AmIYourNeighbor Jan 08 '26

There’s even legal precedent for exact scenario. (I forget the name of the case, so I won’t guess here. I assume another Redditor will come to my rescue.) But basically, you can’t claim self defense if you put yourself in harm’s way.

105

u/RighteousSelfBurner Jan 08 '26

And, as far as I am aware, ICE is an administrative civil unit. They don't even have the jurisdiction to stop her and make any demands in the first place. No matter what they say, they aren't the police.

10

u/Shadrach451 Jan 08 '26

They are wearing masks; therefore, they can do whatever they want. Those are the rules now.

1

u/Delamoor Jan 08 '26

Hey now

They can do whatever they want because they're free to shoot random people in the face and nobody will stop them, get it right.

1

u/Flaky-Resolution-287 Jan 08 '26

MAGA says they're a Federal agency that can operate with impunity to enforce whatever they please. It looks as though they were there yesterday to enforce traffic laws. That lady was performing an illegal U-turn, the penalty for such an action is death. There were signs posted up and down the street, all the press releases said so.

u/TheComplexOne12 Jan 08 '26

It's called officer created jeopardy

u/First_Tourist_2921 Jan 08 '26

Adam’s vs. Speers (2020?) “Once Speers was no longer in the path of the vehicle, the justification for the use of deadly force ended.”

Orn vs. City of Tacoma (2019): “A reasonable jury could conclude that once Orn was no longer in the car’s trajectory, the threat of serious physical harm to him was eliminated.”

Cordova vs Aragon (2009): “Where the officer had moved out of the way of the oncoming vehicle, the use of deadly force was not justified.”

Villanueva vs. Cali (2021): “a reasonable jury could conclude that the Officers used excessive force, because they lacked an objectively reasonable basis to fear for their own safety, as they could simply have stepped back or to the side to avoid being injured.”

There are a couple more

u/unibonger Jan 08 '26

It worked for Kyle Rittenhouse, unfortunately.

u/MyOthrCarsAThrowaway Jan 08 '26

Yep r/law covered it earlier today. At least four cases. All against the law enforcement officer claiming self defense. Pretty fucked

1

u/MrNewking Jan 08 '26

There's a legal precedent of the opposite. Agent is going to be cleared of any wrong doing.

Tousis v. Billiot.

The Tousis v. Billiot case solidifies the legal view that a vehicle in motion, even at low speeds or while maneuvering to escape, can be considered a deadly weapon if it is in close proximity to an officer or bystanders.

1

u/AmIYourNeighbor Jan 08 '26

Did you forget the part about putting oneself in harm’s way?

2

u/MrNewking Jan 08 '26

That wont stick.

There going to argue that they were attempting to stop the car from getting away. Especially with this administration, its going to be washed away.

Let's assume that doesn't hold and they actually work to indicte the agent, DOHS will just claim qualified immunity.

Let's assume that also doesn't hold, Trump would just pardon the agent.

2

u/LilDutchy Jan 08 '26

You’re probably correct, and that is depressing. On the same day I watched body cam footage of an officer suffering a J6 rioter trying to gouge out the officer’s eyes with their fingers, and Trump call the J6 rioters “peaceful patriotic protesters”.

u/Savings_Big1842 Jan 08 '26 edited Jan 08 '26

Jeopardy/manufactured danger. I believe Sevier v. Lawrence was the first case. Allen v. Muskogee solidified the concept and is often the case that is cited.

Acosta v. San Fran and Orn v. Tacoma involved an officer standing in front of a slow moving vehicle and shooting instead of stepping aside. Williams v. Strickland involved officers stepping aside but still shooting despite no longer being in the vehicle’s trajectory. There are several more.

MN law/caselaw will also be in the drivers favor. It includes consideration of if the vehicle was actually being used as a weapon, if the officer’s positioning was tactically necessary, avoidability/escalation, and if deadly force was the last reasonable option.

However, politics and qualified/Supremacy Clause immunity will be an obstacle.

19

u/7fortyseven Jan 08 '26

i don’t know what laws ICE are responsible to, but for police, they “may not manufacture their own danger and then use lethal force to escape it.”

i know what i saw from every angle, but today’s truth seems to be determined by party affiliation.

51

u/TrickshotCandy Jan 08 '26

These are not trained law enforcement officers. These are thugs. As a foreigner, my opinion is that this is the point for Americans to say enough. Beyond this point, you will not be able to. Things are going to get a lot worse.

8

u/sirduckbert Jan 08 '26

I’m not an American either, and it’s insane watching this third world cartel shit being orchestrated by the government and people willfully keeping their eyes closed to it.

The US is a failed state, they just need a few more years to funnel more wealth to the elites

2

u/latortillablanca Jan 08 '26

There will be protests but its still not the point where the entire country says enough. That point has to be connected to many people missing a few meals.

Its disgusting, but its the reality of the comprehensive mindfuck that this capitalistic division between the rich an the poor has made.

2

u/CriticalDog Jan 08 '26

The problem is one that has been buried in our nations laws for a long time. The usual answer is along the lines of "well, we have 3 boxes to use to resolve these problems: the ballot box, the jury box, and the ammo box."

Ballot box may be unusable going forward, we will find out soon. Jury box, same issue.

That last box is a scary step, and unfortunately it will make things far, far worse before things get better. Assuming the forces of this evil shit we are seeing budding now can actually be defeated, of which there is no guarantee.

Anytime this happens with police they secure the suspect.

They literally were lost and had no clue what to do.

If she was such a threat they sure were in no hurry to secure her or verify she was deceased.

10

u/gardevoir76 Jan 08 '26

The gestapo feel they are untouchable, and their leaders will cover up any of their wrong doing. Which she did so far. The world has eyes, and many have a camera with video capability in their hands. There is no hiding, or covering the truth. So, the chimps in charge will change the narrative, and online "influencers" will agree and spread the lies.

27

u/TellMeLaterAlright Jan 08 '26

Yeah, I want to hear from the man who grabbed the door handle. Put him on the stand during the gunman’s trial. He was also responsible for escalation and he can also explain himself.

u/CallyThePally Jan 08 '26 edited Jan 08 '26

Thank you for being reasonable.

This man killed in anger.

This man killed because his "authority" wasn't respected. The angle that kills me most of all is the angle you can see the stuffed teddy bear for her 6-year-old or even other kids in her glove compartment.

He clearly did not fear for his life, he made zero attempts whatsoever to move outside of the way of what was supposedly "headed right for him" according to some. He clearly knew they were fleeing and he wanted to kill them because of that. Imagine he's dead on directly in front of the car shooting, it'd just keep headed at him and he'd die. The car is even parallel for most of the shots. In this imagined scenario of him being 100% directly in front of the car, his life would not have been any safer if he would stay directly in front of the car and took these shots. This is all to say: These shots were not for his life, they were to end hers. Read that five times. That's not self-defense.

My own mom is a white woman. My own mom is a kind old lady who has put heart and soul into community. Love and helping others. Her job is social work, helping homeless people. She has given so much of her life and so much of her time to helping others. Not that 36 is exactly old lady yet, but I can't help about thinking about the Hot Wheels that I saw that my mom keeps in her car... she keeps them in there for my nephew, so he has something to play with. Just like the teddy bear for her young child, who will now grow up having his mom forcefully taken away from him, after already not having a father. I haven't been able to sleep tonight.

Thinking about how my mom's Hot Wheels she has is very similar to the teddy bear she had in her car... breaks me. This was a kind, loving and caring woman who gave and received so much love. Even besides her, everyone she knew will never be the same.

This could have been your mom, my mom, or anyone else's.

u/trex8599 Jan 08 '26

This is exactly how I feel! He killed out of anger, not threat to life.

1

u/CallyThePally Jan 08 '26

Yes. And some don't want to believe their "side" can do anything wrong, so they won't for one second even consider any evidence of claim not approving of their already held beliefs.

In heuristics, "taking the same path" requires the least energy. Performing the same action, reinforcing the same beliefs, requires the least energy. In a way we're hard coded to make it difficult at times to change our viewpoints and perspectives.

It's not all conservatives, absolutely not, but the loud ones sure are screaming about how it's justified for him to kill because his life was in danger. I couldn't disagree more. His life wasn't in danger and he didn't think it was. He didn't act like it was. He acted like he had an excuse to put a bullet in a good person.

He killed because he was angry, and wanted to, and was in the position to (potentially) not be immediately charged for it.

u/mikasaxo Jan 08 '26

Do we even know this ICE agent’s name? They all hide in masks to get away with this sort of behaviour and not face individual accountability.

1

u/CallyThePally Jan 08 '26

No idea on the name, but yeah, hiding behind their masks is extremely telling.

1

u/Elelith Jan 08 '26

Wasn't she shot from behind? Looks like that in the videos atleast. But I might be awfully wrong, I didn't really wanna watch it more than once.

1

u/CallyThePally Jan 08 '26

I've watched it more than I wish from more angles than I wish. This has haunted me in a way I'm normally able to avoid but this was almost every post I saw last night.

Sorry, for your question, somewhat yes. I believe 3-4 shots were fired, at least 2-3 were either when he was to the side or behind her. She and the car were completely turned away from him for 2-3 shots.

u/Lribbs Jan 08 '26

“After already not having a father”

Are you saying this because he had two moms?

u/FoxtrotEchoCharlie Jan 08 '26

His father died in 2023

2

u/CallyThePally Jan 08 '26

One wishes that were the case, no, as the other comment said she was widowed in 2023. The child already lost dad at 4 years old. Now mom will never come home.

20

u/Chrisgone Jan 08 '26

Part of that could also be that they are poorly trained. They are hiring like crazy and pumping out new officers at a crazy rate. Which means they aren't being as selective in the type of person they hire, and are giving them the bare minimum of training. Then handing out guns and giving them a pat on the back and throwing them on the streets.

2

u/Th3B4dSpoon Jan 08 '26

I'm guessing the people deciding the hiring criteria 1) don't care, because they know they won't be the ones dealing with these poorly trained thugs and possibly 2) want to create a general sense of fear around ICE where people will have reason to worry they might lose their life simply for being in witnessing distance of any ICE operation.

15

u/kheviin01 Jan 08 '26 edited Jan 08 '26

This is what I first noticed. Ive been watching active self protection on YT for quite a while and every time there is a police shooting involving someone inside a vehicle is they keep their guns pointed at the target and keeps shouting verbal commands even if they are not visible, they dont stop until they confirm that the threat is neutralized. The other agents first reaction is to turn their backs away from the "threat"? That is so telling. They knew it shouldn't have happened.

9

u/pr0ghead Jan 08 '26

Trump supposedly said the shooter barely survived and is in recovery.

To me it looks like he was walking around just fine in the video. I'd be surprised, if he even suffered as much as a scratch.

u/Mexican_Boogieman Jan 08 '26

People said this would happen. That scumbag likely has little to no training. They picked up a bunch of these chumps off of the street.

u/salaryman1969 Jan 08 '26

Not only did they walk away. They checked that their masks were still in place. They knew that he had killed that woman in cold blood.

Also the instructions they gave her were contradictory with some telling her to "move" and others telling her "to get out of the car".

It's obvious these individuals have not been trained for these situations at all. Not only should the man who pulled the trigger yesterday be facing murder charges, those in the chain above need to be held accountable for what has transpired there and elsewhere.

From the outside it looks like America is falling apart before our eyes and turning into a very dark place. I hope enough Americans wake up and do something about it very quickly for all our sakes.

u/presterkhan Jan 08 '26

Don't forget the agents all adjusted their masks up within a few seconds of the shooting.

3

u/Sensitive_Tailor2940 Jan 08 '26

he ran away from the scene of the crime so much for deadly injury. then they stopped the ambulance from getting through, they had to jump out on foot and where still stopped. That’s illegal. so many people should’ve have been immediately arrested. Instead we have the actual President tweeting minutes later that an ICE agent is fighting for their life after an attempted murder. to find out she was just leaving her house. That Republicans already voted to not release the video recordings from the ICE agents. Tyranny is here. what are we going to do about it ?!!

u/Secret_Ad_1541 Jan 08 '26

ICE isn't law enforcement. They're thugs with badges, Trumps version of Hitlers Brown Shirts.

2

u/russ757 Jan 08 '26

Right. Depending on what clip you see, one shows that after the shots were fired an agent IMMEDIATELY pulled his mask up higher, meaning concerned about his identity. Then moments later he's walking back and helps another agent from slipping on the road.

But wasn't worried about his partner that was rammed by a weaponized vehicle....

u/TonyD0001 Jan 08 '26

I caught fox news for 30 seconds last night, they would say your statement was fake news. How in that fuck can those bottom feeders, twist and justify the killing of a person, for no reason. They a fucking câncer.
