4) A bystander approaches the scene after the shooting.
"Back up!" someone says.
"I'm a physician!" the man yells.
The next words sound like "I don't care" but it's a little unclear.
Then, "Give us a second."

3) Shortly after the shooting, several agents -- possibly including Ross -- hop into an unmarked SUV and flee the scene.
I can't begin to describe how improper this is for an active investigation. Normally, you'd separate the witnesses so they don't, erm, get their stories to coincide.

2) The next two shots, which seem more likely to have been the fatal ones, were fired from the side, while Ross was clearly out of danger.

The Minn Star Trib has an excellent frame-by-frame analysis of the Good homicide.
A couple things (also noted elsewhere) stand out. 🧵:
1) ICE agent Ross's first shot, when he *might* have felt in danger, hit 'the bottom corner of the driver’s side windshield.'

8/ For airlines traveling at high speeds, there is little margin for error.
Research shows that as little as 300 grams of debris — or two-thirds of a pound — “could catastrophically destroy an aircraft,” said Aaron Boley, a professor at the University of British Columbia.

It's incredibly demoralizing to constantly see the highest institutions of government and academia and the most important and widely seen news outlets knuckle under one after another, but then to see the gulf between that and the bravery of communities and neighbors and teachers - that's something

here’s this letter from an allied soldier describing what he saw at the buchenwald camp after it was liberated. notable especially is the editor’s note, referring to the normalcy bias still in play at the time — and how people still disbelieved the truth and horrors of the camps due to that bias.
![Soldier Letter Tells Of Nazi Brutalities
The following letter was sent to [redacted] of Clarksfork, by her son, and seems to lend a great deal of credence to the stories that we have been hearing and probably put down in our minds as belonging in the propaganda category.—Ed.
Belgium, April 26, 1945
Dear Mom: I’ll bet you’re beginning to think I’ve quit writing after seeing it has been so long. Well, I’ve really been busy for the past eight or 10 days, and have also added one more country on to my list. Have covered better than a third of Germany, and was I tired when I got back. Was with the same army that Arthur Bethel is with, but didn’t happen to run into him. I only lacked about the distance from home to Detroit by Czechoslovakia. I wouldn’t have traded that trip for a thousand dollars. Got to see the Rhine and the big pontoon bridge. Aachen, Duren, Frankfurt, Kulmbach, Weimar, Sonneburg, etc.
When I was at Weimar, Germany, I went out about nine-thirty one morning to look over this concentration camp. I’ve seen some awful things, Mom, but nothing ever compared with this. There were Jews, Greeks, Poles, Russians, English, and Americans in it. The Americans were just taken out a few days before when it was freed. There were three others with me, and when we walked in the gate they would like to have mobbed us, because they were so glad to be free. One fellow, a German Jew, who could speak a little English, took us all around and showed us it all. First we went into a barracks which at home would house about 30 or 40 men at the most. Well, here, they made 200 sleep in it. Some had fixed ragged blankets but that was all, on which to sleep on the hard boards. Six men had to sleep in a square of about four feet by five.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c3liusihpe5y4fh6hyilawgt/bafkreia3sy2ltrqy3oyrmyf5yfm4f7ve7ilmudriebl6xwr6pfqbqyywzy@jpeg)
![… tickled to see us. We gave them everything we had that could be eaten or used. A doctor with what few medical supplies he had was taking care of a five-year-old boy who had been in the camp for three years, who looked like a newly born baby, and his skin was just like wax. They were making some of the German civilians from Weimar go through the place. I saw some of them crying, fainting and God knows what. I felt like putting a bullet through every one of them.
Well, Mom, maybe I’ll be able to write about something different tomorrow or the next day. I know you won’t believe me but I saw every damn bit of it, and it’s as true as the day is long. I’m feeling fine except for being a little tired and a heck of a lot of letters to write.
Love,
Your son, [redacted]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c3liusihpe5y4fh6hyilawgt/bafkreifylb2g7ebepqevrfac4i2e2wyfoght3ahasljid7cwb7bbo7zopu@jpeg)
