Giving lip to the gestapo is now punishable by death. He drew his gun and positioned himself to block her exit in violation of DHS use of force policy. It may even have been premeditated.
If we let them get away with this they will do it again and again.

Things are going to get much worse before they get better. And if we’re able to wrestle power from these thieves and murders, we must do everything necessary to make sure _this_ never happens again. And I think at that time most Americans will agree with me.

Pretty sure if anyone in the US said this they'd be accused of antisemitism. But it's the Jerusalem Post in Israel saying it:

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

It’s only because people risked their lives to film ICE do we know the truth. They murdered Renee Good.
If you see ICE, film them.

600+ people still showed up for Legal Observers training in Minneapolis tonight.
In addition to those currently on patrol. This minute.

Come the fuck on. Five hours later and the headline is still about a disputed shooting. Just a basic lack of courage to acknowledge the obvious.
If the headline is "disputed shooting" rather than straightforwardly telling the public what happened this rewards the DHS for lying about these events

This isn’t about putting Maduro on trial. It’s about taking Venezuelan oil and looting the country.
I want to remind everyone that the US has sanctioned members of the International Criminal Court for going through a formal legal process to identify international leaders who engaged in war crimes, making them vulnerable to arrest.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.
