They have however had bits about their fawning interview with Trump for three days straight.

It’s still the top story on WaPo, Politico, CNN, MS Now, and NBC News, just to name a few. NYT is the only one completely pushing it off the front page, probably because they’re sad no one cares about their drip drip stories from the 2 hr interview with Trump.


An NBC article about Ross was the top story in my feed.

There will be vigils all over the country this weekend. There will be more violence from ICE. This issue is not going away. Trump is done. It’s just a question of how many more American deaths we’ll have.


How many of these ICE agent are going to let the tears go when they are sentenced and realize that they are headed into prison?



.

You disagree?

I think that they will be a LOT less tough.

Renee Good was a military widow, and probably had a certain confidence in law enforcement that prevented her from being sufficiently fearful of the rageful misogynists approaching her vehicle with guns strapped on.

By the way if you look at all the videos available, you can clearly see that Jon Ross is unholstering his firearm in preparation to point it at Renee Good well before she even moves her vehicle - he escalated the situation far beyond what was appropriate under use of force guidelines and in violation of DHS policy in a number of ways including placing himself in front of her vehicle and creating any harm to himself that existed.

His "f* ckin' b* tch" after executing her with three shots point blank to her head is the full evidence of his rageful misogyny.

It's going to be interesting to see how the administration's attempt to coverup this murder plays out, but for those of us who are seasoned law enforcement officers and who haven't lost our minds to the MAGA cult, it's very obvious this was a extrajudicial killing in violation of all the norms of law enforcement training and procedure.

As an aside, there are lots of MAGAs on the internet citing her car's rapid acceleration as evidence that she intended to use it as a weapon to harm officers. As a former law enforcement officer myself with too much sad experience of death, I'd just like to clarify that her vehicle sped up like that because after bullets traveled through her brain and caused massive damage/death, her body experienced decerebrate/decorticate posturing, which caused her foot to stamp down on the gas pedal and sped up the vehicle until it met an obstacle that could stop it.


I'm a doctor. Thank you for this, and thank you for your service.

This is exactly why shooting the driver of a vehicle is not a defensive, self-protective act, but why jumping back would be. Anyone trained in these situations knows this. It is reflected in the LEO policy of exactly NOT doing this, and specifically not to engage in officer-created exigency to try to set this up as justified.

This was extra-judicial killing. The "f**king b***h" was the cherry on top that underscores ii.

If I'm afraid someone is going to run over me, my first reaction is to get out of the way, not shoot them.

He's a moron. He should seek to look Presidential, but he's instead going to remind Independents why he's a non-starter in 2028.


lol…the VP is showing up to support a murderer?

Seems pretty desperate.

I thought that he was supposed to be the smart(er) one.



Republicans basically do not believe in the constitution, western values, etc. Anyone who defends what happened does not believe in this country’s founding principles or why we fought to become independent.

It is ironic that Trump is now threaten Iran for cracking down on dissent and protestors. What is happening in Iran is what republicans want to happen here.

ICE is Trump's gestapo and SS rolled into one red neck hate federal goon squad. Expect more murders by these right wing nutters.

This case is the greatest example of MAGA gaslighting MAGA. It’s really scary how easily y’all accept alternative facts in the name of your dear leader.

His speech/press conference about this the other day was the most douchy and disingenuous thing I’ve seen him do. More than castigating Zelensky which I didn’t think was possible. It’s really hard to get less presidential than that.

Clear as day from J6 onward, if not before.

Let’s get something straight for the MAGA numbskulls: Dems do not want open borders, daycare fraud, flowing drugs, or evil South American dictators. But we also don’t want to become fascists in order take care of these things. Got it?

Have they finally put Trump on the shelf? Where is he in all this?

Admitting to the NYT that the video looks bad for ICE but that it's Biden's fault.

Not joking.

Watch the news covering this from other countries. No MAGA propaganda. Just the facts. The world can see plain as day what’s going on over here, including the murder of an American citizen trying by a federal agent.

I wouldn't accelerate my car with someone in front of me.

Where is Congress?

An American citizen was executed in cold blood. She had teddy bears tucked by the passenger seat, elderly family mutt in the back seat, she was sweetly smiling at the agents who rushed at her vehicle, and the next moment her face is blown away. She left behind an orphaned little girl. The little girl's father was a war veteran who committed suicide, as so many of them do. Now the little girl's mother is dead too.

Where is Congress, I ask.

Where the F is Congress?

Just to clarify, her youngest child is a son - who will have to try to navigate American masculinity under the shadow of his mother being murdered by a toxic example of it.
