This whole thing is mealy horseshit but "we have to live with each other" is downright incoherent when the dispute is whether murder in pursuit of mass-kidnappings to ethnically cleanse the country is bad or not.

I want a bill that states clearly that the presence of a person in ICE gear (as well as the presence of any known employee or former employee of ICE in or out of gear) represents a present threat to civilian life and that civilians have qualified immunity in their response, but this is a good start.
NEWS --> Reps Eric Swalwell and Dan Goldman are introducing a new bill to strip ICE officers of qualified immunity, making lawsuits and prosecutions easier. They also say agent who killed Renee Good should be prosecuted in Minnesota.

One of the rare positive outcomes of years of being bullied as a child is that you learn how fucked up assholes often know exactly what to do to hurt the weak and stay out of trouble themselves, so you recognize training a fucked up asshole only makes them more capable of being a monster.
Important context to "more/better training" arguments: the murder of Renée Good was a product of that training by someone who has trained others.
(I've seen same in civil rights cases; by moving where he did, he was intentionally generating a pretext to shoot her without genuine risk to himself.)

The details are muddled but it does appear that the federal agents left the scene.
I guess that's how it works now. Masked feds shoot people then leave the crime scene. That's what the shooter in Minneapolis did too. He did gesture to his buddies to call 911 first which was thoughtful.
