😱😱😱Murderer of Nicole Good : firearms instructor, an active shooter instructor, field intelligence officer,

https://archive.ph/2026.01.09-133502/https://www.wired.com/story/ice-agent-jonathan-ross-renee-good-shooting-firearms-trainer-testimony/

I’d like to know EXACTLY where the Firearms training manual says to hold your phone and record a video WHILE You are
Shooting into a moving car. Allegedly, fearing your life?


Jonathan Ross Pulled his service weapon as he approached Nicole Good’s car and went into the crouch-shoot position immediately. He was NOT going to move or get out of the way of the car, He saw an unarmed woman and KILLED Her.

…………
Snip.


In 2015, according to his testimony, Ross joined ICE, working in the ERO division, where he was tasked with targeting “higher-value targets” as a deportation officer in the Twin Cities area. A member of a joint anti-terrorism task force with the FBI, he testified that he’s a “team leader” who, on a typical operation, oversees two FBI agents and an IRS or ATF agent.

“I develop the targets, create a target package, surveillance, and then develop a plan to execute the arrest warrant,” he testified. He also described what he termed “collateral” duties he’s carried out in addition to deportation work.
“I am a firearms instructor, an active shooter instructor,” he testified. “I'm also a field intelligence officer, and I am a member of the SWAT team, the St. Paul Special Response Team.”
In his testimony, Ross said that he had made hundreds of vehicle stops in his career and generally described people who attempt to flee. “They do erratic behaviors,” he testified. “They take great risks, and they seem to not be aware of other people driving on the road. They usually—they make just extreme movements with their vehicles.”

Whose teaching can be boiled down to "There are no citizens but cops and those that support them - everyone else is a criminal out to kill you..."

In his testimony, Ross claimed that after he approached Muñoz-Guatemala, the man asked for his attorney.
In court, Eric Newmark, who was representing Muñoz-Guatemala, noted that even government lawyers hadn’t previously heard this assertion. “I think he just made it up on the stand,” Newmark told the judge. “He never said it before. I think he said it for a particular reason”—allegedly to show that Muñoz-Guatemala was aware that he was being apprehended by law enforcement and not attacked by a masked carjacker. A prosecutor in the case conceded that the claim was “grounds for impeachment” against Ross because he “did not previously say that—as far I know.”

“They've got phone trees where they call and then protesters show up.”

From the video today, he was alone? It appears he was.

He’s experienced with a gun. He crouched which means he’s read to fire but he did it one handed.

This is a culture thing. They have a super aggressive culture which feeds on itself. They also have a culture of paranoia, us against THEM, and at the same time complete immunity. That’s going in several directions at a time which is not good.

I was in the Army - Cav - and culture is important. My platoon had a culture that carried over from the guys the border (Germany) to a nucleus that bridged the gap afterward. We weren’t aggressive. We expected excellence in a disaster of of unit. We looked like hell but we won everything because that was the culture. No swagger. No boasting because winning was expected. It shapes everything.

This was his chance to legally shoot and kill someone. He's been waiting for so long.

He made that decision.

But, it was actually illegal, probably some type of murder.
