https://apnews.com/article/ice-shooting-minneapolis-minnesota-9aa822670b705c89906f2c699f1d16c5Along with her six year old son, Renee had a 15 year old daughter and a 12 year old son.
The con, Noem, Republicans and MAGA are disgusting with their attempts to tarnish this young mother that they murdered.

(23,009 posts)That part of Minneapolis has one-way streets. From the video: she was in a confusing situation -- the street ahead seemed blocked. So, she tried to turn her car around and go against oncoming traffic. She let cars pass and then the pick up truck came up and blocked her. When the "ICE agents" jumped out and ran to grab her door handle, demanding she "get out," the fight-or-flight adrenaline kicked in and she tried to escape unidentified men with drawn guns.
Going from those who knew her, she had no intention of harming anyone -- including ICE agents.

(10,739 posts)Just before the ICE vehicle stopped she had the window open and seemed to be waving them on to pass her and it looks like they had plenty of room to do so. It does not look to me like she is trying to block them. To the contrary, it looks like she was trying to get out of the way.

(23,009 posts)...and that's when they stopped, blocked and assaulted her. She, in no way, was trying to "impede" ICE. She was trying to avoid her approaching doom.

(2,688 posts)Who went on CNN last night stated that she was a protestor, not that she was turning around because she was confused. I don't know what else she knows to base that upon, but she said she witnessed the event for 30-60 seconds before the shooting. So she must have seen more that happened before what's on the clip.
Note: I don't know why she was in the street. Just telling you that the woman who filmed this stated she was a protestor alerting people to the presence of ICE.

(23,009 posts)I'll go with what her mom says about her: "She was an amazing human being."
Over what Kristi Noem said about her: Renee Nicole Good was a "violent rioter" and "domestic terrorist" who ran over a federal officer with her car.

(7,806 posts)what someone has to say about Renee Good, it'd be the people who knew her best, who knew who she was, rather than some woman who saw Renee for all of 60 seconds (??) and somehow showed up on CNN to tell us all about her.
Trump, Vance, Noem etc. are trying to PROJECT their own evil upon the victim.
Because, the DOMESTIC TERRORISTS are the ones sending armed, masked, unidentified goons into peaceful American neighbourhoods, under false pretexts to terrorize its citizenry.
The one who speaks of 'training' soldiers via combat in American cities.
The one who demonizes whole groups of Black and Brown people, because he, they, want a White America...
and his mascara wearing, couch humping ('allegedly') apprentice who suggests that any logical and REASONABLE protest against THEIR outrages must certainly be paid for.
Also the one who shts baldfaced lies with a straight face and who showed up in a macho-bullshit cowboy hat (that is, when she's not out killing dogs) to lie upon, demean, mischaracterize and malign a murdered woman who by chance found herself in the wrong place,
a place MADE wrong by Donald Trump's OWN treachery and malevolent evil. More blood on HIS hands.
So, it is THEY, who are the domestic TERRORISTS - the enemy within.
As many MORE are learning.

(6,194 posts)harassing ICE. That's a flat-out lie (among many). Renee Good was shot at approximately 9:30 a.m., Minnesota time. Maybe they were there the day before, but not on the day of the shooting.
Quiet Em
(2,547 posts)Since Renee had just dropped her son off the timing proves that she was not there very long.
senseandsensibility
(24,255 posts)at school. So was she simultaneously protesting and carpooling? I mean, as you say, it was nine thirty am so we are talking about a fairly short time frame here. But I am sure we will get to the bottom of it now that MN has been barred from the investigation, right?

(194,960 posts)Or some BS like that. I hadnt heard anyone say that so JD is just being the knob that he is.

(63,848 posts)the agent murdered her kid, too.
If that agent was so traumatized from being hit with a car before, then maybe he shouldn't be on the streets.

(11,578 posts)I still say, he was sent to make an example
John1956PA
(4,833 posts)The shooter was negligent by indulging in video recording or video streaming the Honda. His act of recording or streaming prevented him from assessing the situation. When he finally snapped out of his daydream, he panicked and started shooting.

It was pre meditated

(1,501 posts)If I wrestle taping the event from the opposite side, I would have moved to the curb when I got to the front of the van. He chose to close in on the vehicle. He might not have been taping, instead just viewing while he positioned himself.

I suspect it is a message to make an example of her

Ocelot II
(129,124 posts)who somehow got stuck between a couple of ICE vehicles. Maybe she saw a collection of pickup trucks and vans stopped on Portland, didn't know what to do and was just trying to get around them. Her family said she wasn't an activist so maybe she wasn't involved in the ICE-warning at all. So she's stuck kind of sideways, with plenty of room for the ICE vehicles to go around (she is seen apparently waving them past her), and when she tries to move after being yelled at and one of the goons tried to open the car door while another one yells at her to move, some trigger-happy douche shoots her because she started to move.
Instantly, ICE Barbie, Mango Mussolini and his Mini-Me tell the world that she was a domestic terrorist.
