Trying hard to stay calm here, but I couldn't be more FURIOUS!!

F.B.I. Inquiry Into ICE Shooting Is Examining Victim’s 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.


Federal investigators assigned to the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old Minneapolis woman are looking into her possible connections to activist groups protesting the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement, in addition to the actions of the federal agent who killed her, people familiar with the situation said.

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 who’s 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. Good’s activities and her potential connections to local activists is in line with the White House’s 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.

It's what authority does. Looks to attack the victim to blame the victim for what happens to them at the hands of authority/agents of authority.

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.

They are criminalizing protesting and civil disobedience in general.

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.

There’s nothing Trump and his Nazi followers won’t stoop to.

If you think eventual death camps is ridiculous hyperbole, think again.

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.

She had a right to belong to whatever organization she pleased. At least she wasn’t a member of some Nazi cult.

Did the first bullet even strike Good, and if so, where? Were there powder burns on her face? What was the angle of each bullet?

Lots more questions, too.
