Her name is Renee Nicole Good


The woman shot in Minneapolis was named Renee Nicole Good. She was a wife and mother, and was acting as a legal observer of ICE activities in her city. She was murdered by one of 2000 ICE thugs who had been intentionally deployed to Minneapolis to harass and kidnap people who didn’t look white enough, as part of a campaign by our president to punish the state for voting against him, under the pretext that some people committed fraud in 2020. That fraud case has been in the courts for years, and is being dealt with legally, with many convictions. Having masked, armed men roaming the city does not contribute in any way to the processing of the court case.

Since early December, agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection and Homeland Security Investigations – many of them masked and brandishing rifles – have grabbed people at hardware stores and gyms, or outside homes and schools around the cities. They have violently tackled undocumented immigrants as well as US citizens, including advocates and protestors.

By the time Good was shot on Wednesday – in broad daylight, as dozens of bystanders screamed in shock – local leaders and human rights advocates had been bracing for a catastrophe.

But there they are, shooting people.

Meanwhile, Kristi Noem, who was not there, is lying about the events of last night. She calls Renee Nicole Good a domestic terrorist.

An ICE vehicle had become stuck in the snow, Noem said, and officers were attempting to push it out “when a mob of agitators that were harassing them all day began blocking them in shouting at them and impeding law enforcement operations.”

ICE officers approached a woman in her vehicle, who Noem said “was blocking the officers in with her car.” She said the woman had been “stalking and impeding their work all throughout the day.”

ICE agents ordered her out of the car, telling her to stop obstructing law enforcement, Noem said. “But she refused to obey her commands.”

“She then proceeded to weaponize her vehicle, and she attempted to run a law enforcement officer over,” Noem said. “This appears as an attempt to kill or to cause bodily harm to agents, an act of domestic terrorism.”

All lies. You’ve seen the video.

It’s going to get worse. ICE is exercising no restraint.

In Minneapolis, residents and organizers were bracing for more violence. Hours after Good’s death, about 3 miles (5km) from where she was shot on Wednesday, armed immigration officers descended on Minneapolis’s Roosevelt high school, tackled people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders, school officials told MPR.

Noem must be impeached, ICE must be disbanded, and Donald Trump…I don’t want to say what should be done with Trump, because what he deserves is not pretty.

Minneapolis is getting ready. This crisis is not over.

    This was probably illegal.

    They need probable cause and a warrant signed by a judge to enter a school, IIRC.

    The violence was also almost certainly illegal. ICE has been in trouble with the courts for a year over using excessive force.

  2. raven says

    Noem said. “This appears as an attempt to kill or to cause bodily harm to agents, an act of domestic terrorism.”

    Noem is lying.
    All the MAGAs lie a lot.

    We all know who the domestic terrorists are.
    The right wing thugs that Trump recruited to terrorize the American population.
    The DofJustice which has been subverted from Justice to terrorizing opponents of the regime.

    It’s working but it isn’t.
    I’m afraid of the GOP, Trump, and his goon squads.

    I’m also getting totally fed up and angry about everything to do with the GOP and their attemps to destroy the USA.

    I went to the protest/ vigil last night.

    There were hundreds of people there. People would come, and then leave, and more people would come. There were speakers, but I couldn’t hear them at all- note to organizers you need sound systems and at least a soap box. But otherwise I was pretty impressed with how quickly it went together and how many people came. There were volunteers controlling traffic for blocks around. We had a weird scare when it looked like a driver was going to drive through the protest, but he instead got help turning around on the one-way road that was blocked instead. Seems like confusion (understandable) and not malice.

    Also, these protests always smell of smoke. Can you guys just not smoke when there are so many of us packed together? It’s really gross. I know it’s outside, but my winter gear still smells like it.

    Sadly, for years now the big powers – USA, Russia, China – have been deliberately proving that there’s no such thing as international law. And now USA join the other two in proving that there’s no such thing as law, full stop. When there’s no way of bringing criminals to account, law becomes merely a constraint which can be applied arbitrarily to those you don’t like, or don’t care about if someone else is applying it. In point of fact, that’s historically the norm.

    Via facebook an excellent piece here in my view by Rachel Hurley (Rachelandthecity) who makes some good points very powerfully :

    Listen up you goofy ass, slack jaw, mouth breathing, MAGA bootlickers.

    There is no federal crime called “failure to comply with an ICE agent’s verbal command.”

    ICE agents aren’t traffic cops. They’re not uniformed officers with lights and sirens pulling you over. They rolled up in a gray pickup truck on a residential street. The legal framework for “lawful orders” that citizens must obey is actually pretty narrow – and it typically requires the officer to have lawful authority over you specifically in that moment.

    There is no law that says Renee Nicole Good needed to follow any orders she was given.

    She was not the target of the operation.

    Theoretically – we don’t live in a place where we answer to law enforcement at their will. There has to be a reason for them to detain you. And it can’t just be vibes!

    She was a bystander. A citizen. Sitting in her car on a public street. ICE had no warrant for her. No probable cause to detain her. No legal authority to order her to do anything.

    They rolled up and tried to drag her out of her car – and when she attempted to drive out of the way – an ICE agent pulled out his gun – for no other reason than intimidation – and put himself in front of her vehicle. And then shot her in the face.

    That’s not legal – you fucking m***s. (- ed by me)

    ICE can’t break the law and then act like she was the one being aggressive.

    On shooting into vehicles specifically:

    Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said that “in any professional law enforcement agency in the country… most law enforcement agencies in the country have trained very intensely to try and minimize the risk” of using deadly force against someone in a vehicle who’s not armed.

    The reason departments have moved away from shooting at moving vehicles is because the legal standard for deadly force is imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm – and courts have increasingly found that “the car moved in my direction” doesn’t automatically meet that bar, especially when the officer can step aside.

    The legal question isn’t whether she complied with their unlawful orders – it’s whether a reasonable officer would have believed deadly force was necessary.

    “She didn’t comply” isn’t a legal defense for homicide. It’s a political narrative – and some of you m***s (ed again by me) are buying it hook, line and sinker…

    . – Rachel Hurley.

    Whatever happened to Republican efforts to get the federal government out of everyone’s lives? Is there just a little selective memory — just a little hypocrisy — involved in having a massive recruiting campaign for ICE agents at the same time those who handle disaster release are being let go in “reduction-in-force” efforts?

    Never mind. I think we know the answers…

    @14:
    My understanding of dementia is that there’s a point where the afflicted can have moments when their actions are very clearly dementia, as well as moments where they’re aware of how far they’ve fallen and how out of control their life now is. If his health doesn’t fail him first, Trump will reach that point where it’s all slipping away, and where he’ll realize that he no longer has the power to change his fate. And his suck-ups will realize that his ship is sinking, no longer fearing the idea of fleeing it.

    Because the “get the Feds out of our lives” was always a lie.

  21. flange says

    As I expected, the right-wing is smearing the victim:
    From Fox News:
    “The woman who lost her life was a self-proclaimed poet from Colorado, with pronouns in her bio. A 37-year-old white woman named Renee Good. The Daily Mail says she leaves behind a lesbian partner and a child from a previous marriage. She was a disruptor, though she considered herself a legal observer.”
    Not only was she all of those bad things, she wasn’t shot and murdered, she just “lost her life.”

  22. raven says

    As I expected, the right-wing is smearing the victim:

    She was also the mother of 3 children, one of them a 6 year old.

    Of course, the GOP, who once called themselves incorrectly, the family values party could care less about that.

  23. John Morales says

    raven, for people like me, “could care less” lexically and semantically and unambigiously means you actually could care less. I know it’s basically exclusively an USAnian figure of speech, but it is so irritating!

    (Bit of a shibboleth, and how do you actually convey the sentiment that you could actually not care less than you do is left unspoken)

  24. Tethys says

    She was returning home after taking her 6 year old to school. Her neighbors can be heard shouting “What did you do?! What the fuck did you just DO?!”
    Filming law enforcement officers is one of the methods used by residents of both Twin Cities to hold them to account.

    She has two older children by her first husband, and her second husband died a few years ago. I am unsurprised that trolls are getting emotional because she referred to herself as her. I wonder how many of the horrible comments are coming from troll bots and troll farms.

  25. Tethys says

    I’m sure Raven couldn’t care less about your personal opinion. Kibbutz off.

    I am most sure your personal opinion is not gonna change my very nature.

    Do you really not see how your complaint about me is kinda meta, and no different in nature to my complaint about that idiomatic use?

    Someone should remind them of the rules they instituted just a few months ago: anyone who speaks poorly of a shooting victim, even if their descriptions are accurate or they are qutoing them verbatim, should be fired.

  36. raven says

    It has already gotten worse. The FBI is preventing local authorities from investigating the murder. No justice no peace.

    They can’t actually do that.

    The FBI has no legal right to tell state and local police what to do.
    They might be able to hinder the local police by hiding and withholding some physical evidence such as the bloody car or the body.
    The states can always go to court to get access and it will probably be granted.

    They don’t need that anyway.
    There are many videos and many eye witnesses and a Habeas Corpus (have body, literal meaning). Renee Good is unequivocally dead.

  37. raven says

    the great man has no plan he is just getting off on the violence, and destruction.

    This is just cruelty theater.

    .1. We’ve been enforced our immigration laws for a century without masked, anonymous thugs invading grade schools, shooting and killing people, firing tear gas everywhere, and shooting steel cored rubber pullets and pepper balls.

    We don’t need this performance to enforce the laws.
    I pass local and state police often. They are never masked, never anonymous, and never invading churches, schools, and work places in gangs, without good reasons.

    .2. It’s the same with reducing the number of people on Medicaid and food stamps. The GOP just wants to see more homeless, sick, and hungry people. It is a bonus when they are also children.

    .3. The alleged drug boat murders in the Caribbean.
    This isn’t law enforcement. It is murder.
    The US coast guard stops dozens of boats and searches them every day. If they have contraband, they get arrested.

    It is just cruelty theater.
    It is a lot like the ancient Roman gladiator games, except that the Romans were more organized and had more equally armed combatants, at least most of the time.

  38. raven says

    A lot of people have pointed out that Trump is a cruel and sadistic creep, going all the way in a simple internet search to 2018.
    There is even a book on it from 2021, “Jul 13, 2021 — The Cruelty Is The Point: The Past, Present, and Future of Trump’s America, is journalist Adam Serwer’s new book, based on a popular essay …”

    I’m going to let the Google search summarize it, edited for length.

    The statement reflects a widely discussed interpretation among critics and political commentators that the Trump administration often employs policies and rhetoric where “cruelty is the point,” using public humiliation and punitive actions as a form of performance or political spectacle to satisfy his base. [1, 2]
    Key arguments and examples cited by commentators and human rights organizations include:

    •1. Immigration Policies: Critics frequently point to immigration enforcement actions, such as family separations at the border, the “Muslim ban,” and mass deportation plans, as prime examples of “performance cruelty” intended to inflame passions and serve as a message to supporters rather than a practical approach to border security.

    •2. Rhetoric and Public Insults: Donald Trump’s use of personal insults, belittling language, and public firings (dating back to his reality TV show The Apprentice) is described as a pattern of “performative cruelty” designed to dominate the news cycle and assert dominance.

    • 3. Dismantling Norms and Institutions: Observers argue that the administration systematically undermined democratic institutions, the press, and the scientific community not through debate but through performance and stigmatization.

    •4. Policy Implementation: Even certain bureaucratic actions, like firing long-time civil servants by text message or cutting funding to programs benefiting vulnerable populations (such as food assistance for children or Medicaid), are characterized by critics as having an underlying purpose of demonstrating hardness and lack of compassion to the base.

    .5. There is more.
    Trump and the GOP are always thinking up more cruelty theater shows.

    In essence, this perspective posits that the display of punitive action is a core feature of the political strategy, intended to create an “us versus them” dynamic and fulfill supporters’ desire for a leader who is “mean and nasty” to those they resent. [2, 10]

    The protests are growing, despite the horrible wintry weather. The National Guard Troops just arrived in the Capitol via helicopter convoy. It’s like Apocalypse Now comes to the North. The residents of the inner cities are tapping into all the righteous anger we bottled up since living through three days of arsonists, smoke filled air, curfews, and constant sirens.

    I am on the Aspie side, you imagine.
    So I must be bewildered by people having emotional reactions to their oh so logical behavior.

    You really are very clueless. If you knew me, you’d know I am rather strongly emotional.
    Way to diminish the status of Aspergers, too. Because only those people can be logical, eh?

    Point is, I am in no way bewildered as you fondly imagine during your Walter Mitty flights of fantasy. I know damn well your emotional reaction (“Sombre circumstances, I get the sentiment at hand.”).
    You’re appealing to the concept of ‘blasphemy’ or at the least ‘lèse-majesté’.

    I do see your attempted witticism, BTW. Take away the ‘in’ in ‘intelligent’.
    I’ll spare you my assessment of its merit as either badinage or drollery, never mind putdown.

    How your own quibbling and sniping itself is assessable, well… that too I shall spare you.

    But given it’s your entry-point comment, I think it’s not unfair to characterise it as sniping.

    Also, this ‘aspie whisperer’ conceit and its supposed applicability to me is a bit on the nose, not just remarkably opinionated and utterly wrong; do you agree with that? Insulting to both me and ‘aspies’.

    I remind you of my #27:
    “Question at hand is: will there be consequences.

    Too obscure? How it plays out matters.

    Consider:

    vs
    (2) “But people getting shot bugs me much, much more.”

    Neither semantically nor linguistically equivalent.

In my experience. Imperfect, certainly but better than 8 (and no doubt I’ll merit one, hopefully only one, too, so 9) and counting as displayed above because ‘Waahh I MUST respond to everything addressed to me even when it isn’t, I can’t help it!’. Engaging in good faith OTOH, and I tried for a very very long time, is a waste. Good luck!

    indianajones gets the vibe. Wrong one, but still.
    You do like to kick against the prick!

    “I have not found a way to silence the Time Vampire completely yet, but generally, if you don’t engage, but just go with a ‘Get fucked’, you will almost certainly get one or maybe two replies to you with no effect on replies to anyone else.”

    You most certainly have found a way for me to respond to your sniping.
    I do appreciate your effort at a disparaging appellation, yet it does amuse you do not apply it reflexively.
    (Beware: cognitive filters do their job, of course, but one day the clag up unless cleaned)

    It is remarkable how blind people can be to their own behaviour.
    I as well, of course. Luckily, I have multitudes to tell me about me.
    I get plenty of input!

    Mate: you came in at comment #70 purely to try to performatively snipe at me based on your perception that maybe a touch of dogpiling would unnerve me.

    We’re beyond policing the thread, and into true and pathetic territory.

    You can’t know, but I was not always this gentle and indirect person you now see.
    I had proper dogpilings back then, how do you imagine I honed my style?

    Engaging in good faith OTOH, and I tried for a very very long time, is a waste.

    Seriously. Look at what you have written there.
    Reflect. Or not.

    Good luck!

    +2.

    Killfiles are for feebloids, Recursive Rabbit.

    Like, you know, blinders for draft horses.

    Apparently, topical derail snipes are fine if they are pointed at me.

  57. Tethys says

    I did advise letting go @58. You don’t get to complain about the results of your own actions John.

  58. John Morales says

    “I did advise letting go @58. You don’t get to complain about the results of your own actions John.”

    To what alleged complaint do you refer, O aspie-wrangler?

    “An Ice thug shot a Mom in the face in your city, and Tethys’ tome cop routine is beyond annoying.”

    Seems to me you are complaining about me. Are you not?

    (Still not very self-aware? Cognitive blinders for your own behaviour?)

  59. Tethys says

    @John
    I’m so glad you’re not being obsessive or fixating on petty trivialities. You don’t get to complain about topical derails since you wrote most of it.

  60. John Morales says

    [meta]

    “I’m so glad you’re not being obsessive or fixating on petty trivialities.”

    Every accusation is a confession.

    So, I quote you again:

    I have a lifetime of experience wrangling people who are on the Aspie side of things being bewildered by people having emotional reactions to their oh so logical behavior.
    @John
    Shhhhhhhhhhh. Let it go.

    You really don’t see what you are doing, do ya?

    You most evidently don’t see how ableist that is.

    You imagine “people who are on the Aspie side of things” are “bewildered by people having emotional reactions to their oh so logical behavior”.

    You perceive me as being “bewildered by people having emotional reactions to their oh so logical behavior”, hence (first logical error) you imagine I am perforce an aspie.

    (What, no caps? O the disdain! Aspie side of things, not a mere aspie, right?)

    How’s your wrangling going?

    “You don’t get to complain about topical derails since you wrote most of it.”

    You are really doltish.

    To what alleged complaints do you attempt to refer?

    I made wry and sardonic observations, you imagined they were complaints?

    Heh. Wrangle me some more.

    Also, my retorts are 1:1. You write, I retort, etc.

    Look for yourself. There it is!

    The ratio of obsession being 1:1 entails you accuse yourself every bit as much as you do me.

    (And, of course, your cop routine would have been hammered by the you that was, back at the start.
    Now it’s personal for you, I get it. Not being an Aspie-type, of the sort you wrangle)

  61. Tethys says

    There isn’t any news on the ongoing jurisdiction battle, but the law favors states rights to prosecute crimes that occur within their borders.

    There were several other extrajudicial murders by cop in the Twin Cities before the murder of George Floyd. The police claimed they were immune from prosecution, yet the murderous police were in fact charged, tried, and convicted of murder.

    Additionally, the other officers who prevented bystanders from rendering aid or medical care were charged, tried, and convicted of federal civil rights offenses.

    The wheels of justice grind slowly, but the precedent favors prosecution for murderers with badges.

  62. John Morales says

    #27: Question at hand is: will there be consequences.

    (Not just to the murderer who pulled the trigger, but to the ones who set it up)

  63. Tethys says

    Maybe ask AI how many people in the first iteration of orange’s administration, or the Nixon administration have served or are currently serving their sentences.

    Shooting unarmed women in the face is not the kind of Epstein distraction the puppy killer wanted, so they are claiming all manner of bullshit. All those press conferences are admissible in a court of law.

    The videos and eyewitnesses are highly compelling evidence of a cold-blooded murder. His own body cam footage is especially damning.

  64. John Morales says

    Why should I ask that of an AI? I already know all that.
    I refer to the topic at hand.

    Whether or not others historically got away with it is not relevant to whether it merits prosecution.

    I additionally see my emphasis did not register.

    (Not just to the murderer who pulled the trigger, but to the ones who set it up)

    Specifically, those who created the conditions that let armed thugs act with impunity; the chain of command that enabled it. As well as, not instead of, of course.

    I dunno who offhand; field supervisors, regional directors, the senior DHS/ICE command structure above them, with Prez at the top. Want me to ask an AI? Then I could tell you for sure.

    For you, a historical example of that to which I refer, slightly different instantiation, a tad elliptical:
