Podcast #195 - Fox News Predicts Mass Suicide by ICE


Listen Later

Last Wednesday a 37-year-old mother of three, Renee Good, was shot and killed in her car by an ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A video captured by a bystander of the incident immediately went viral along with footage taken from other angles. Fox News reacted immediately by blaming Democratic lawmakers and the woman herself.

The Trump administration also promptly blamed Good and cleared the agent of any wrongdoing despite the lack of an investigation into the incident.

According to the government Good purposefully tried to ram Ross with her car. Many experts, from multiple media outlets, concluded that the Trump administration’s official explanation of the event doesn’t line up with the video evidence.

In nearly every case of a fatal shooting by law enforcement state or federal authorities would at least launch some type of investigation into the incident before making any public declarations.

In this case an unarmed woman was shot in broad daylight in front of multiple witnesses and the Trump administration called her a domestic terrorist before her body was cold.

The federal government has taken steps to prevent officials in Minnesota from conducting their own investigation.

The folks at Fox News were more than happy to attack Good’s character and repeat the Trump administration’s talking points. Jesse Watters even took things further when he predicted a wave of suicidal leftist activists sacrificing their lives to make a political point.

No one disputes that after Good was shot three times in a matter of seconds some of the ICE agents fled the scene, including the shooter, and that it took Emergency Medical Services six minutes to administer aid to a U.S. citizen who was killed by the hand of an immigration and customs enforcement agent.

After the shots were fired and Good’s car drove out of control an agent, some have disputed that it was Ross himself, called the young mother a “f*cking b***h.”

Government officials have since reported that Ross suffered internal bleeding from the incident. In the video evidence he walks away seemingly unharmed. He showed no signs of injury. It’s not even clear in the video evidence if he was struck by the car.

I’m not a criminal forensics expert but The NY Times did do an exhaustive analysis of the first video that was shot by a bystander you can find it here.
