“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.

Wait, he recorded himself killing someone?

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 164 points 1 month ago

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

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 67 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yep, and he didn't even drop his phone doing it.

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 41 points 1 month ago

I never lose grip of my phone, especially not when I'm so feared for my life that I'd take out my gun to kill someone driving away from me.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 65 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah he even pulled out his gun and used it one handed

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 186 points 1 month ago (10 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.

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 79 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.

Or course they don't. The only consistency in their narrative is their incessant need to be right. They say she tried to run ICE over, you show that's not true. They pivot to she shouldn't have been running away from the scene of the crime. You tell them there was no crime, they pivot to ICE had a right to detain her. Tell them ICE actually has no right to detain citizens they'll say how they don't actually know the law, they can only give their opinion and then loop back around to "she tried to run them over" so she's in the wrong.

They're not interested in getting to the truth, they're only interested in being right. Since they only care about being right they also don't care about being internally consistent. They will accept whatever contradictory bullshit as long as it means they're right.

These morons think this proves they’re right. Vance retweeted the video as said this

"Watch this, as hard as it is," Vance wrote. "Many of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn't hit by a car, wasn't being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman. The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self defense."

[–] Numinous_Ylem@lemmy.world 57 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've never wanted to punch someone square in the face quite as much as Vance while watching his press conference. The level of disingeniuty and vileness from these people is somehow still shocking, and I didnt think I could be surprised by how low they could go anymore

Yup, they don't even see the same reality we do. As if his camera shaking was proof he was in danger.

It's not hard for them to see the actual explanation, but they have no interest in finding it. Maybe it was shaking because he moved slightly out of the way (which the other video clearly shows) he was firing his gun? No? Right-wing Twitter just wants to feel right and not think too hard about it? Okay.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

I grew up in a family full of cops and as a kid / teenager I was taken around on ridealongs in the 80s / 90s with family members. I’d be shocked if that’s kosher now, but I’m glad it was something I got to experience back in the day.

I will never forget watching cops just get out of the way and let a person of interest or suspect drive off. They’d do that, and like clockwork, say “no one outruns Motorola.” (Motorola was the wireless giant at the time.) It wasn’t worth putting lives at risk when you could just knock on that person’s door at a later date.

This guy wasn’t doing anything by the book. He was escalating, approaching a moving vehicle, he had his firearm in hand, etc. People are literally trained NOT to do everything this guy did. It puts everyone at risk. The officer, the driver, bystanders, etc.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago

They think this is a definitive proof that she tried to kill him. They're saying this is body cam footage and that him putting his phone down to grab his gun was him getting hit. They've already forgotten every other video out there.

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 1 month 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.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 month ago

Ice shooting people is already becoming more common. They're escalating because there has been no consequences.

It just gets worse the more videos and angles you see.

I hope Jonathan Ross’s family watches as the state executes him for premeditated murder.

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

I noticed that too. He clearly was documenting her for future harassment at the very least.

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.

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 25 points 1 month 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.

Your focus is to narrow. What about all his accomplices, the other ICE agents that were there and didn't immediately arrest him?

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.

Not surprising that the evidence contradicts the administration’s claims, because they constantly lie.

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 27 points 1 month ago

The term "hate" can be misleading. When used in a hate crime law, the word "hate" does not mean rage, anger, or general dislike. In this context “hate” means bias against people or groups with specific characteristics that are defined by the law.

At the federal level, hate crime laws include crimes committed on the basis of the victim’s perceived or actual race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability.

Most state hate crime laws include crimes committed on the basis of race, color, and religion; many also include crimes committed on the basis of sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, and disability.

Say it with me: ICE officer Jonathan Ross and his accomplices are guilty of at least murder and hate crimes, and possibly more.
