Governor J.B. Pritzker of Illinois exhorted citizens to video ICE agents, and that has born fruit, as just a mile and a half from where Derek Chauvin was shown murdering George Floyd, an unnamed ICE agent is captured drawing his gun and shooting a woman trying to drive away from ICE agents, and not driving in a way which could have endangered any of them.
In fact, of online chatter is accurate, one of the ICE agents shouted to her, "Get out of here!" in which case she was actually trying to comply with ICE orders, not evade them. This will have to await more review.
But as it stands currently, the videos show what can only be seen as cold blooded murder.
Oh, MAGAmob nerds will bleat about "context," and they will say the truth can only out in a court of law (which would be rich, coming from them), and they will admonish us not to rush to judgment, but sometimes the video is irrefutable, as when January 6th thugs are captured on video bludgeoning Capitol Police. No, Donnie dear, those were not normal tourists simply looking for a bathroom.
Inevitably, the MAGAmob will whine about "she did not obey the command of the police officer!" which is, of course, irrelevant in a nation of laws as opposed to in a police state. The law says a policeman may not shoot at a fleeing suspect. That has not always been true, but it's been true since that question was decided in the Supreme Court in Tennessee v Garner. Never mind, every police department trains real police to never shoot at a moving car.
And, of course the FOXNESS howlers blamed the victim in the most unctuous way possible--"Oh, she was a lost soul." A "Lost soul"--see we are all sympathy! "She was under thrall to the elite left who snatched up her mind and soul!"
That was the product of the Trumpist negative research machine which quickly discovered she was a woman who had two children she did not live with, and another by another husband who she did live with and now lived in a lesbian relationship. So, oh, the FOXY folks will cry, she is just another leftist, gender changing nut job who predictably is a threat to all decent folk society and should be shot as she drives past you!
No, this time, you can believe your own eyes. They do not lie. Doesn't matter if she raised snakes and danced naked in the moonlight singing witch songs--all that matters is what she did or did not do at that incident and she drove away from police, turned her car to the right to steer away from the ICE agent on her left, who had drawn his gun as soon as she shifted from reverse to drive before she even moved forward even an inch. He was primed to shoot, programed to murder.
From the video, it looks like cold blooded murder. In context, it looks like cold blooded murder.
No protests about how she refused to obey a police officer's order changes any of what we can see.
Let her drive away. You've got her license. You know who she is and where she lives.
You cannot shoot a burglar in the back fleeing from your house, if you have chased them out. Not even in a stand your ground state. You cannot murder a person for not obeying an order.

If seeing is believing, then we can believe no ICE agent was being threatened, or in danger, as Renee Nicole Good tried to pull away from her captors. ICE agents may have been enraged that she did not follow their orders, but she had not just robbed a bank, and nobody was in hot pursuit.
But for the MAGA nuts, seeing is not believing; believing is seeing. You do not see a murder; you see a righteous execution of a disobedient, brainwashed zombie lesbian mother. Your intolerance and hate marinates your brain and its visual pathways.
And the ICE agent firing at her was firing from the side of the car, into her window as she drove by him.
As the Minneapolis police chief remarked, "No matter what transpired, you do not fire into a moving vehicle."
But then ICE agents are not trained police. They are thugs with badges, recruited by a million dollar advertising campaign. They are not police--they just play police in their own minds.
There will be many replays, and technical analyses of this video, and Trump has already branded her a terrorist trying to run down ICE agents but we can see that's a lie.
The fact is, when Trump put into play twenty something males all gussied up in bullet proof vests and playing out their fantasies of being Seal Team Six hot shots, something like this was nearly inevitable.
They were sent into a Blue city to stir things up, to provoke mayhem and murder, and they did it.
The Second Amendment was a response to colonists not wanting the government to have a monopoly on violence. Now those same 2nd amendment freaks are justifying shooting this mother for the crime of panicking and fleeing.
Of course, if she did have a gun, then the same people would be justifying her execution because she had a gun.
Is this making America Great Again?
Evelyn Mulray lies dead at the wheel, and all you can say, "This America, man."
