“Fcking bitch,” Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renee Good, says in the video.*
A newly released cellphone video, apparently filmed by the ICE officer who killed Renee Nicole Good, and obtained by Minneapolis-based Alpha News, a conservative-leaning nonprofit news site, appears to sharply contradict the U.S. government’s public account of the fatal Wednesday shooting, raising new questions about whether the agent who opened fire was ever in immediate danger.
The footage was recorded on a cellphone by ICE officer Jonathan Ross, not by a department body camera. It captures Ross’s own perspective as he approaches Good’s maroon Honda Pilot during what the Department of Homeland Security claims was a federal operation in south Minneapolis.
In the video the cop conspicuously stops and pauses to look at the political stickers on the back of the vehicle before the shooting.
I noticed that too. He clearly was documenting her for future harassment at the very least.
Shouldn’t he use his bodycam to do that?
Body cam would be something you could subpoena easier. Phone would be his personal property and he can upload that video anywhere he wants and give it to whomever he wants. Consider we have this video because he sent it to an conservative media outlet trying to get sympathy. We have this video because he’s a fucking moron.
Yeah, I understand this. But one may think a video recorded using a personal device will present chain of custody troubles if it ends being used in a court of justice.
It was NEVER going to be used as legal evidence. He was collecting her info so he or other ICE could harass her later. That’s why he focuses on all of the identifying info like the stickers and her license plate.
The dude murdered someone and you’re over here wondering how he would legally use his harassment video in court. That was NEVER his intention. That’s EXCATLY why it’s on his phone and not body cam. For personal, illegal use.
The only court this video will see is as an exhibit for the prosecution. And as evidence of him committing murder, chain of custody is just fine.
Those are just national park stickers iirc but I’m sure these toe headed lumps didn’t know that.
Pretty sure he’s just recording the license plate.
On his personal phone and not on a body cam or writing it in an official log? Why would a government agent need his own personal evidence against you if not for vigilante harassment?
