F.B.I. Inquiry Into ICE Shooting Is Examining Victims Possible Ties to Activist Groups
Former department officials warned that such a broad inquiry raised the specter that forms of political protests could be criminalized.
It seems increasingly unlikely that the agent who fired three times at the unarmed woman, Renee Nicole Good, will face criminal charges, although that could change as investigators collect new evidence, the people added.
On Sunday, President Trump described Ms. Good and her wife, Becca Good, as being professional agitators, adding that the authorities would find out whos paying for it. He offered no evidence to support his claims.
The decision by the F.B.I. and the Justice Department to scrutinize Ms. Goods activities and her potential connections to local activists is in line with the White Houses strategy of deflecting blame for the shooting away from federal law enforcement and toward opponents they have described as domestic terrorists, often without providing evidence.

(55,956 posts)It's pure politics.
Even if she somehow turns out to be a member of isis or whatever, you can't apply that retroactively. As far as the murderer knew, she was just a suburban American mom with zero evidence at the time of having committed any crime.
It's all purely a search for some way to smear her.

JUST COMPLY.
Keep your head down and your mouth shut and maybe they will be nice enough to let you live to serve at the feet of your billionaire masters.
Trust me that is exactly what they are thinking. This is about making us a bunch of slaves to billionaires.

(6,349 posts)Turning a tragic shooting by a federal agent into a general fishing expedition diverts attention from the central demands for transparent accountability and justice. Typical trump-- steal from a baby then and complain about the crying.

Lots more questions, too.
