If you're standing adjacent to front of a vehicle, and you truly think you might be run over, you'd dive/move quickly to the side – you don't shoot the driver. This is true not only in the context of law enforcement training, it's human instinct.

🚨 Look at what they did to this man’s face. What in the fuck is Congress doing? When martial law DOES break out, it will be because you sat around while tyranny ran unchecked. And, ICE won’t give a shit about A VICTIM having a seated republican family member. ICE are animals.

The Maduro regimes continues to run Venezuela without Maduro. How did US removal of Maduro to steal their oil help the people of Venezuela? If this was about helping the Venezuelan people, Trump would not be backing the current regime. But it’s about stealing oil, nothing else.

A few thoughts on this important NYT analysis:
First, the officer who killed Good is shown running up the *passenger* side of the car seconds before he killed her. He shot her first from the front, then the driver's side. This means he *put himself* in the path of the vehicle when he shot her.

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

The research linking alcohol to breast cancer is deadly solid: Alcohol, regardless of whether it’s in Everclear or a vintage Bordeaux, is carcinogenic.
Drinking may have given me cancer. The alcohol industry has worked hard to downplay it.
