She was OBEYING AN ORDER from an ICE agent to DRIVE AWAY

[Wicked Blue]

When she was shot and killed, Renee Good was doing precisely what one ICE agent ordered her to do: drive away from the location.

I wonder if she even heard the second agent order her to get out of the car.

Caitlin Callenson, an eyewitness who took a video of the shooting, told MPR (Minnesota Public Radio) that ICE agents gave Good conflicting orders, with one agent ordering her to drive away from the scene while another yelled for her to get out of her car as he reached for the door handle.

“Some of them were leaving, and they just went around her, but ICE gave her orders to leave, while at the same time, another ICE person said, ‘Get out of the car,’ and he reached for her door handle. And then there was an ICE agent in front of her vehicle. So it was difficult for her to leave, as she'd been ordered to do,” Callenson said.

“She turned her steering wheel toward the right. The person was grabbing her door handle, the ICE officer who was in front of her vehicle shot once from the front and twice from the side, hitting her maybe three feet away at the max. Because she was shot, and she was already trying to leave, her foot was on the accelerator, and she crashed into a telephone pole.”

Her comments appear in the January 7 article's 3:35pm update.

According to the website NiemanLab, the New York Times analyzed Callenson’s video, the vertical balcony video, and a third bystander video in a video analysis of its own, “Videos contradict Trump Administration account of ICE shooting in Minneapolis.” An excerpt from that analysis:

The moment the agent fires, he is standing here to the left of the SUV and the wheels are pointing to the right away from the agent. This appears to conflict with allegations that the SUV was ramming or about to ram the officer. President Trump and others said the federal agent was hit by the SUV, often pointing to another video filmed from a different angle. And it’s true that at this moment, in this grainy, low-resolution footage, it does look like the agent is being struck by the SUV. But when we synchronize it with the first clip, we can see the agent is not being run over. In fact, his feet are positioned away from the SUV.

1. It seemed like it was all an intentional escalation

They told her to leave, and then when she was leaving they tried to yank her out of the car. They 100% escalated the situation that resulted in her death. Its was definitely intentional, they wanted to get themselves on camera dragging her out of the car so they could all pat each other on the back about it. When it didn't go that way, the cop who shot her immediately fled the scene, just like what happened in Portland last night.

7. It seems like there was incompetence and confusion as much as intention.

These are not the most highly trained LEOs.

I believe ICE/CPB agents are being fed lies about "domestic terrorists" and being told to maximize their aggression towards the public.

9. The shooter was experienced and was a former cop

Maybe the others weren't, but this guy looked like he knew exactly what he was going to do. He was filming Good's car from various angles, and filming Good's wife just before the shooting.

I strongly suspect he and other ICE thugs have orders from on high to turn up the aggression, so they can create incidents that will allow imposition of martial law. The fact that Minnesota is being flooded with additional ice agents makes me worry that this is the actual plan.

10. I strongly suspect you are right

This was the opposite of incompetence.

It was murderous efficiency.

2. Cold blooded murder. 🙁

3. It's unclear from her comments which ICE agent told her to leave?

Was it one of two that approached from the left? I've only heard the "get out of the fucking car" guy that was with him, so that latter dude was clearly the louder of the two. I'm just not really seeing an agent in the video that could've told her to leave, unless it was the shooter himself, from the passenger side, or she was told by someone prior to the video beginning

6. I'm not sure of the timing, but in one video I watched, I heard a male voice telling her to drive away

I think that was the video taken by a neighbor from his porch.

Found this in the Irish Times, quoting a witness interviewed by MPR:

A witness to the shooting, Emily Heller, told local media that the victim was shot in the face multiple times. Ms Heller said she saw a car blocking traffic that appeared to be part of a protest against the Ice operation, and heard an agent telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here”.

“She was trying to turn around, and the Ice agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in – like his midriff was on her bumper – and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Ms Heller told MPR News, a Minneapolis public radio station.

4. Think of the anxiety for a regular traffic stop...

then, multiply it by a factor of 10 when being verbally assaulted. Most drivers would have done the same as Ms. Good..

8. I agree nt

5. That one thug got out of his car angry

You can tell how he was walking. He went straight to her car and told her to get out the car while the other was telling her to leave.

12. pure evil

This was ridiculous, and never should have happened. Too many thugs in ICE; too many gun happy idiots, too many trump-ass kissers too stupid and infantile to be in positions of authority. Goddamn! What has this country become?!












This was

13. Murder

Murder. Murder sanctioned and cheered on by the administration and MAGA cultists. Murder.

It is murder.

14. Trophy video and I'll wager that he has more.

15. Sad

I wish she would have left 5 minutes earlier .

[TBF]

16. Blaming the victim has never solved much, imo. nt

17. Did you see the way she was dressed?

18. Jonathan (say his name) Ross certainly managed to keep

a pretty damn steady recording while being "run over" - and while having the presence of mind to pull a gun and shoot a mother of three in the face because he... ahem... feared for his life.

premeditated?? nahhhhh.
