Why is the mainstream media ignoring this particular video from this particular angle of the shooting of Renee Good by ICE agents in Minnesota?

If you watch closely, it's kind of a pattern.
With a particular event, everybody gangs up on the individual or individuals who express viewpoints counter to the herd, often with personal insults.
It's a clever way (well not really, because it's so transparent), to beat people into submission.
The offending poster either walks away, or tries to stay and engage. But they really can't engage with others who insult them for having a particular belief or viewpoint. There's no way to do that.
The best course is to stay on point and never get personal.
I don’t know about other states but in California illegals buy phoney green cards and work permits so it makes it hard to hold the employers liable when they have the bogus paperwork on file.
It Doesn’t fit the left wing narrative they are pushing.
Irrevalent which way the Cop approached the vehicle Or even if the Driver was in the wrong.
When they tell you to Stop.
STOP.
Driver Refused. Guess she FA and FO.
People seem to want to remove or dismiss anything that displeases them.
There's a focused and intentional shift in this country, and hopefully it's not catching on elsewhere.
It's the 'my way or the highway' form of public discourse.
Freedom of speech is the essence of liberty.
A majority of FReepers were delighted when Elon Musk acquired Twitter and vowed to respect free speech.
But when it comes to exercising free speech here - well, that's different.
It's just weird.
“He approached the vehicle from the front.”
He was off to the right of the vehicle before she swung the front end around while backing. At 7 seconds she starts backing, swinging her front end. At 8 seconds he is now in front of the vehicle. At 9 seconds she moves forward and at 10 seconds he shoots.
So...THREE SECONDS from when he was NOT in front of the vehicle to when he shot!
Another way of putting it, they went looking for trouble and found it.
We don't know who any of these agents are because their identities are hidden. This conveniently doesn't allow the public to be informed about their histories.
The public has a basic right to be informed about the identities of public employees, who are paid with public funds.
…There are too-many-to-count videos on YouTube showing really bad policing, officers blatantly violating citizens' constitutional protections. In some instances, when the violations are obvious, juries have awarded substantial damages.
^ Sad state of affairs but true.
^ A few FReepers including an ex-cop on the thread have stated the above.
What’s Twitter?
Your anti-ICE delusional screechings are being duly noted.
Watch yourself.
“Legal Basis: Under 18 U.S.C. § 111(b), accelerating a vehicle toward a federal officer constitutes assault with a deadly weapon (up to 20 years imprisonment), justifying deadly force per Supreme Court precedents like Tennessee v.
Garner (1985) and Graham v. Connor (1989), which emphasize objective reasonableness in High risk encounters.”
But dasboot is talking about police, not a federal agent. So, he knows ...stuff
“The fact that this particular agent defied common sense and stood in front of a running vehicle...”
EXCEPT the video shows he did NOT stand in front of the vehicle! He was to the RIGHT of the vehicle until she backed up while turning, swinging the front of the car to the right!
In THREE SECONDS, she started backing up while turning, bringing the nose of the car to the right, then starts forward TOWARD HIM and he shoots.
You can be nuts, but please TRY to deal with observable facts.
Don’t have to be.
Did you know law enforcement is allowed to shoot ppl who pose a credible danger to others?
It is not the makings of a bar fight analysis (he was not standing in front....
This was not civilian vs. civilian
Many more reasons but let’s take it slow and calm and look at one fact at a time.
Btw, I loved the accelerator slammed to the floor in the last part. That tells me “brain shot, dead”. A well trained officer eliminated the threat -as is their job.
snicker
Objectivity and looking at what the other side can argue doesn’t mean being being dismissive of Ice or its mission. The fact remains Trump is for H1B’s and not holding businesses who hire undocumented workers and farmers accountable. While some criminals have and cartel networks have been dismantled and the border more secure — the theatrics of ICE is overshadowing the actual numbers of people being deported - which remains very few.
Take your threats to me to God.
Do you realize local police and federal agents have vastly different jurisdictions and authorities? What’s next citing MN legal procedures for troops in Syria?
This is “free republic” not deep state worship. Laws are to be submitted to, but this is America! ALL authority is suspect regardless of who is in office. That said, I don’t believe the ICE agent in this case is automatically guilty. I am merely looking at it from every angle. But you have people on this site that don’t care about facts and all legal angles. Just like Leftists: will only be tribal to the end. And the sheer scale if defensiveness points to insecurity. Not confidence.
May the dice roll as God wills.
Don’t hide ppl’s actions behind God. None of this enshallah crap here.
The nation is a republic, like this website states. I don’t believe you realize what a republic is or respect laws which are contrary to the current Leftist narration.
