“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.
I saw a video recently covering the proliferation of body cam YouTube. A side-conclusion was that in most of the most viral “Karen does xyz,” the “Karen” is a racist conservative that voted for Trump, sometimes they even inform the officers of their voting choices. A person like that freaks out because the system they voted for is affecting them, when they thought it affect the “bad people,” of which they, of course, aren’t. They’re good, they don’t have a previous criminal record, unlike those “other [colored] people.” Some of them even said that part out loud.
It was obviously said better in the video, but it made a lot of sense to me, and it makes even more sense when we see these peoples’ role models doing the exact same thing; insisting they’re right when they clearly are not.
