Does what I saw make Agent Jonathan Ross, like Derek Chauvin, guilty of murder?
Renee Good is the Next George Floyd

And how many more will there be? Is this about a woman murdered by a federalized cop? Is this about national powers versus states’ rights—a judicial Civil War?
There are several videos of the crucial seconds taken from slightly different angles where the view is significantly different. The video that I saw repeatedly on WCCO 4 News, the video with the widest view of the back and drivers’ side of the car showed ICE Agent Jonathan Ross’ right hand pulling out his pistol before Renee Good’s car moved.
Agent Ross was in the background facing toward the front of the car with another agent standing foreground at the drivers’ side window. That placement was the focus of the view. I did not notice Ross’ hand movement at first. At my second viewing I noticed Agent Ross’ right hand unholster his gun. OMG! On my third viewing, yes, I absolutely saw the gun pulled out and then heard shots.
The car slowly curves away from the shooter who may have been brushed lightly by the outside rounded left headlight. He was not hit or knocked down or unbalanced. The car accelerates down the street and bashes into a parked car. Agent Ross runs after the car, not limping. You have to pay to see that video now. He shot Renee Good point blank in the face.
Congress shall
make no law
abridging the
freedom of speech
or the right
of the people
peaceably to assemble.
Peaceably may include yelling, cursing, chanting and waving flags but not throwing snowballs or touching. Spitting on someone equals assault. Police training includes crowd control but apparently not enough police control. The problem with hurling verbal insults at poorly trained ICE agents sometimes results in violent responses from them.
Does what I saw make Agent Jonathan Ross, like Derek Chauvin, guilty of murder? Yes, from what I saw with my own eyes, burned into my visual memory. Could the ICE agent have stepped away from the car? Probably since he had time to aim and fire repeatedly. Did Agent Ross think before he shot Renee Good or was he out of control? Since he drew his weapon and fired quickly before the car rolled away, I saw someone who acted without thinking. Does the ubiquitous arming of police promote everyday violence? Duh!
So now Minneapolis will live through another paroxysm of grief, hate, despair, loathing and probably miss any sweet milk of forgiveness via justice since President Trump will undoubtedly pardon murderer Ross. There will be a judicial war between the state and the nation to further shake our pillars of democracy in this 250th birthday year of our experiment in self-governing. We’re on a teeter totter.
