The woman fatally shot by ICE in Minneapolis did not deserve to die

A Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman said the driver, identified as U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good, attempted to “run over” law enforcement officers in an act of “domestic terrorism” that required an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer to fire three shots. Trump posted on social media that the driver “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense.”

Yet, while additional information can always emerge, so far social media clips do not show a situation that would justify using deadly force. Disregarding instructions from police is unacceptable, and any violence against law enforcement ought to be prosecuted, but it’s unclear if the woman intended to hit anyone with her vehicle.

  1. White cop kneels on Black man's neck to restrain him and he accidentally dies, that sets off months of "mostly peaceful protests" killing 100's, injuring 1000's and destroying billions in property.
    But when a woman tries to run over a cop and gets shot for doing it, well something just went terribly wrong!
