What do you mean? For what I know, she was at the wrong place at the wrong time, did not do anything voluntarily illegal, and was in a situation where everyone should agree would never have had to degenerate into a life-threatening situation.

I'm pretty sure that 5 minutes before the incident, everyone involved would agree this was not a life-threatening situation. The only reason there was a death was due to huge failure of ICE.

It's so easy to take any incident where a cop shoot a citizen and says "well, cops have guns, so the onus is on the citizen to be extra careful around cops".

> neither the child nor the mum should have been there to begin with. The onus is on her. [...] She chose to gamble her and her kid's future

At first level this seems simplistic. Then, it seems inconsistent with «happily dropping them for school» - can somebody explain...

Edit: and the "simplistic" perspective is outside the gross understatement of "«should not have been there» hence «only to be shot»"... Which again makes no sense without all the relevant information (hopefully).

Edit: maybe the poster could elaborate on which details exactly he believes justified the events.

>edit: She chose to gamble her and her kid's future. She lost that gamble to voter's willingness to tolerate the current state of affairs.

From what I read, she was on her normal route after dropping her kid at preschool.

But even still, stop fucking victim blaming.

What an awful, heartless, feckless take.

Edit: to expand on this - if you think interacting with an ICE agent(even if that interaction is blocking their way with your car) is "gambling" then I'm afraid you've accepted that you live in judge dredd society - where agents can execute someone on the street and face no repercussions. After all, they are defending the law, and Renee Good was a criminal for blocking them, right? You know what would happen in a normal country? She would be arrested. The coward of an officer pulled out his gun and fired at the vehicle driving away. I wonder if he'd have the balls to explain to her kid why mummy isn't coming home. I wonder if you'd tell her child that mummy isn't coming home because she "gambled". I'm disgusted by your comment.
