“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.

    You’re suggesting I get a therapist, when I’ve done nothing but stated my opinion that people should train to fly drones, and stated facts about drone autonomy and their use on the battlefield. You’re the one that seems upset about this whole conversation, and my involvement in it.

    There is nothing unusual about the suggestion that the US is too far gone for mere protest, or following cars with drones, or whatever nonviolent resistance you had in mind. It’s not deranged to suggest that more direct methods are called for, even if you don’t want to accept it. I made statements that drones can and are used in this way. You can choose to agree or disagree. But don’t pretend like it’s the height of insanity to suggest that the US is fundamentally broken and that the opposition to the current regime has not accepted what needs to be done. In fact I might suggest that denying this reality is a sign of delusion.

    I mean you don’t really seem to have much in the way of solutions to fix your country.

    You are just ashamed as hell of having been wrong, so now you’re pretending like no-one actually said “everyone should have them”.

    Actually I do think that ideally everyone should have them, and everyone should be trained on them. I’ve said it multiple times. Why would I pretend no one said that, if I believe it myself?. I’m not sure how you’ve missed this but I’ll reiterate it again. This is my opinion and I’ve been clear on it: Everyone should learn how to build and fly drones, they are a powerful force multiplier, and the US is at the point where more direct methods are probably needed. You can choose to not care about my opinion and not respond to it, or you can choose to disagree, but you’ve chosen to suggest it’s deranged to hold this opinion. In other words you’ve chosen to dismiss it condescendingly, which seems to be your personality. That’s fine. Good luck to you.

      "Why would I need a therapist? I’m just pretending like reality is what I make it. Me? Wrong? Never. Not even when I continued to assume you’re an American, when you’re not. But I’m not man enough to admit to mistakes, so I’m just gonna let my ego take control. "

      Get a therapist man, it really would improve you. There’s not any other direction than up with that sort of a psyche.

      You claimed you “joined the conversation”, but then ramble on about things which were never part of it. Then when people try to make sense of your brainvomit, you get upset. Is it because you just find it a tad hard to admit to making mistakes? No problem, kiddo, most people do. Now we’ll see if you can grow up. I’ll wager not.

      Which people should be getting themselves military hardware, and with what money? Military drones are thousands and thousands. Better ones hundreds of thousands. So who exactly should be getting them, what for, and do you not see what an utter child you are by stomping your foot that “no no no I am making sense, i am i am i am, but I will never explain any of it, you just don’t understand”

      “Your country isn’t what you think it is.”

      It really is. It isn’t what YOU think it is, because you were WRONG in your asinine assumptions so now you have to ramble to pretend you weren’t. You will never admit to having made a mistake.

      You’ll avoid that bit while larping that you have something relevant to say, until you’ll devolve into “you think I’m reading all that” before finally succumbing and taking the L by stopping replying. It **always goes like that with babby egos like yours.

        Hey, I didn’t read any of this, because I’ve lost interest. This is why I wished you best of luck - it’s a well known way to nicely end an interaction. You should move on too. If you’re having trouble with that, maybe you should reach out to your therapist.

          And now you’ve ran and taken the L, just like I said you would. Damn it’s boring when people like you are so easy to predict.

          Oh, you’re already at the “I’m replying even though I’m not reading anything. I’m PROUD of my ignorance, despite you clearly predicting this is what I would do because I’m not man enough to admit when I am wrong”—phase? Wow, your psyche is in even worse condition that I’d have guessed haha.

          You won’t be going anywhere. You’ll try to “get the last word” despite the fact that you won’t be able to address your own comments or the reason why you’re in this thread. Like I detailed in my last response you would do.

          You’re dancing to my tune, Vanja. ;>
