Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If something is “unquestionable,” it should be easy to explain without insults. Calling it murder doesn’t make it so — that’s a legal conclusion that depends on evidence, intent, and the standard for self-defense. You’re free to be angry. You’re not entitled to replace facts with abuse and call that certainty.
NO. I reject your sanewashing bullshit, because it is both falsehood and in service to evil.
I watched the videos. From every damn angle before and after Johnathan Ross killed Renee. He knew what he was doing, and had absolutely no remorse for what he did. He killed someone, and fled the scene of the crime.
You have no integrity, "Liberty Forever". The only liberty you possess is the kind that is completely void of morality, that wants to be free of consequence and justice. No different from Trump, Noem, Kash, and so many other horrible people that are leading my nation into destruction and suffering. You are a monster just like them, the only difference being that you lack their authority to hurt people.
Your words must be called out for what they are: deceitful and malicious.
You’re stating certainty about intent, motive, and state of mind that you cannot actually prove from video footage alone. That’s not “calling out evil,” it’s replacing legal standards with moral conviction. Watching videos — even from multiple angles — does not establish premeditation, lack of remorse, or criminal intent. Those are precisely the things that investigations, testimony, and courts exist to determine. Declaring them settled because you feel certain isn’t justice; it’s a shortcut around it. You’re free to believe the actions were reckless, wrong, or deserving of discipline or reform. But branding disagreement as “malicious” or “evil” doesn’t strengthen your case — it just signals that you’ve moved from argument to accusation. If this discussion requires demonization instead of evidence, then there’s nothing productive left to say.
Renee Good's final words to her murderer: “That’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you.”
Pretty damn clear that Renee didn't do anything wrong.
Her final words and what we see in the footage are heartbreaking and deserve compassion. But resolving whether this was justified use of force requires a careful legal and factual investigation — not just emotional reaction or viral clips.
