“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.

Say the words. He called her a "Fucking bitch". Stop fucking censoring language, especially over something like this. If the words offend you, GOOD. You should be fucking offended. (I know OP just reposted the articles censoring - this is directed at the article more than OP)

We don't need MORE proof. Insinuating we need any more proof gives a veneer of validity to the suggestion there is any doubt at all. This is typical right wing "inundate with bullshit" that leaves anyone with a shred of hope of having an honest discussion constantly scrambling to offer more and more proof while the fact is that the Right DO NOT CARE. They're here to "win"; honesty, morals, truth, reality be damned.

The shitbag Ross reacted like a Gestapo or NKVD thug.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 10 points 2 days ago

It's a template. In the future, your list will include ICE Agent.

Yes, walking in front of, and behind a vehicle with it's engine on SHOULD have made him feel danger. No one told him to walk in front of and behind a vehicle with the engine on, but if I'm wrong, and someone actually did tell him to do that, they're the responsible party. If he made that decision on his own, it's called contributory negligence.

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 days ago

And the fact that he circled the vehicle multiple times makes it clear he was trying to create a problem.

[–] silvadinlabop@lemmy.cafe 278 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Wait, he recorded himself killing someone?

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 172 points 3 days ago (2 children)

He needed something for show and tell before applesauce and naptime.

It’s weird that they’d release it.

Her last words were something like “I’m not mad” and his were “fucking bitch”.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 188 points 3 days ago (11 children)

I think these people are so far down the rabbit hole that they don't even realize that their narrative is bullshit. Nobody in the Administration looked at that video and said "shit, we have a problem" because they're all True Believers and think they are right about everything.

[–] Joelk111@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

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.

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 80 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Exactly, I've seen people on their side saying this video makes the victim look bad....

These people are too far gone.

Her wife, Becca Good, stands nearby, recording as well.

Her wife WATCHED HER GET MURDERED by Jonathan Ross? What a blood curdling nightmare.

[–] ViceroTempus@lemmy.world 96 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Could happen to anyone of us. If ICE agents don't start taking bullets to the face soon, then that probability increases exponentially over the next few months.

That video is tainted. No custody of evidence. The shooter had 48 hours to edit the video.

Sync up the video /audio to thwle dozen others and see if things line up? How much time was removed from the phone?

[–] fishos@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (10 children)

If the video conveniently "proved" his claims of self defense, you'd have a point. But it clearly doesn't. It shows he murdered her and his claims of self defense are a blatant lie. You're literally arguing "well maybe it was self defense because the video could have been edited by the PERPETRATOR to not show it was self defense". Like wtf?! You're arguing that the dude purposely edited the video to make himself look worse.

[–] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pro-ICE voices (not necessarily people) think that the video supports the white house claims. The leaked site is right wing, and Vance shared it saying people should watch it.

It's crazy that this video seems to be such a Rorschach test.

[–] phx@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Yeah I'm pretty sure their take on it is "her gay leftie lover made him feel threatened"

Aka setting the "don't worry, she wasn't 'one of us' " distinction for the MAGAtts

Even if there was 4k 360° video of Renee being murdered by this scum the Trump administration would still side with the murderer.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 27 points 3 days ago (13 children)

An incident like this is great for MAGA. This is how you find who is truly loyal. The loyal ones will back your cockamamie story to the hilt, and parrot it loudly, often, and with conviction, no matter how indefensible it is.

This separates out those who still have some vestige of morals that can still be reached by an atrocity. Those people are untrustworthy, and must be purged. They want people who will cheer when they massacre peaceful protesters.

the US or perhaps the world needs a reboot button

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Fallout TV series is mostly about that. Reboot buttons just incentize wealthy gamblers.

In the video the cop conspicuously stops and pauses to look at the political stickers on the back of the vehicle before the shooting.

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.

[–] saimen@feddit.org 23 points 3 days ago

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.

This would have been true sooner than this point in the regime but this event is the flashpoint, if I find out that any of my relatives or family members are ICE thugs I would dox them in a heartbeat.

This is pointless. Even if she was aggressive and tried to kill this man, she'd be right to. This should not be able whether this Nazi felt in danger, they should feel threatened when they attack communities or random people. This video shows that peace is not an option with them. Consequences for chuds reduces their numbers significantly, they scatter when they realize they could actually get hurt.

I wonder why we still don't have the footage from Good's wife.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I think she feels guilty for egging them on and probably feels responsible to a degree. Also, probably listening to her lawyer about when / if to release it.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago

Also, probably listening to her lawyer about when / if to release it.

I'd suggest it's entirely that.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Yeah if I were in her shoes I'd save the footage for court. Don't want the court of public opinion influencing jurors ahead of time.

That is of course assuming he gets charged as he should.
