Contrasting Responses to Violence

  • 💡 Donald Trump vowed severe action against Iran if it harmed unarmed protesters, yet simultaneously defended an ICE agent who killed an unarmed American citizen in Minneapolis.
  • 🎯 Trump labeled Renee Good a "domestic terrorist" after she was shot by an ICE officer, but when pressed, could not provide evidence or name any left-wing groups she allegedly belonged to.

Federal Interference in Investigation

  • ⚠️ The federal government is withholding evidence from Minnesota authorities regarding the ICE shooting investigation.
  • 🧠 Trump justified this by claiming Minnesota is corrupt and that elections were stolen from him in the state, citing Governor Tim Walz as "stupid."

Local Prosecution Efforts

  • Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty retains jurisdiction and can proceed with prosecuting ICE officer Jonathan Ross, despite federal attempts to shield him.
  • ⚖️ Ross, as a resident of Minneapolis, is subject to local legal action, and the federal government cannot prevent his indictment or arrest by the county.

Damning Body Camera Evidence

  • 🎥 Body camera footage shows Jonathan Ross shooting Renee Good three times in the head after she politely told him she wasn't mad.
  • 💬 Immediately after the shooting, as Good's car crashed, Ross was heard on video calling her a derogatory term, which is admissible evidence for his state of mind and intent.

Consequences and Accountability

  • 🔥 The incident has shattered the lives of Renee Good's family and will define the rest of Jonathan Ross's life, regardless of imprisonment.
  • 🚨 Federal attempts to withhold physical evidence, while intended to help Ross, may ultimately hurt his defense given the strong video evidence of his actions and derogatory statement.
