“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.

Crazy in the bottom video labeled CNN, you can see him walk in front of the car AFTER it started moving.
Most people wouldn’t jump in front of a chef chopping with a knife then kill the chef for stabbing them. Idk why ICE thinks it’s a good idea to jump in front of a moving car.
So, that guy is just stupid. I assumed but thanks for verifying.
pre-trump, who knows if they’ve secretly changed the policies since then. But then again, the murderer was working for ICE when that policy was enacted.
Oh im sure they are encouraged to make situations.
Deliberate. A report by experts studied incidents from Jan 2010 to Oct 2012 and found US Border Patrol agents stepped in front of vehicles 67 times to justify shooting drivers. Results were 19 deaths.
Jonathan Ross worked for US Border Patrol from 2005 until 2015.

That’s the point. This was a manufactured killing. By stepping front of the car, he can deploy the South Park Defense: “She was coming right at me!”
In her rationalization speech, The Puppy Killer mentioned how blocking ICE cars was an increasing strategy. What she didn’t say was that it’s been effective at slowing them down, and giving targets a longer head start to escape.
It’s clearly pissing her off. Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller is demanding 3000 scalps per day, and they aren’t even close. Shes probably getting her ass reamed by PeeWee every fucking day.
We’re going to find out that orders came down to make an example out of one of the blockers, and this was the opportunity. This guy wasn’t new and poorly trained, he was a veteran officer with a beef against fleeing vehicles (he’d been recently injured in a vehicle incident because he behaved poorly and impulsively in that incident, too). He was exactly the kind of trusted operative that you could give an order like that to, and know it will be followed.
Pakled Holman seemed surprised by this, so it probably wasn’t him. The order almost certainly originated with The Puppy Killer, but she was probably told by PeeWee to do something decisive.
…so does this one.
It’s clear the only reason she backed up was to AVOID him. If she wanted him dead he would’ve been toast.
He’s actually lucky she wasn’t angled towards him because he chose that moment to make her slam on the gas.
Bellingcat does great work.
Jeez, you could do a VR recreation
