done on purpose, to trigger a "free-for-all" once the rest of the agents saw that this Ross fuckhead is being hailed as a hero by the Trump regime, and at this point seemingly unlikely to face consequences for his EXECUTION of a US citizen in her own neighborhood.

Esp. now that I just learned from another DU'er that the murderer Ross was seemingly video'ing around Ms. Good's vehicle just prior to blasting her in the face.

Announcing that the bastard has absolute immunity.
No coincidence that two more people were shot today in Portland.

This is now normalized.

and had already game-planned for when it did. In fact there's so many fucking lies involved from the regime it's like they were all just reading from their pre-planned script, facts be damned.

the couple shot by CBP were the ones to call PPB instead of CBP?
Why didn't CBP call them?
What? Did they just leave them where they lay and carry on with their Nazi leader, puppy killer, Kristi Noem?
Inquiring minds want to know.

The couple was shot in the parking lot of a medical center. I guess the Feds were tracking them somehow. The couple then fled in their car, but they must have been badly injured because the man called 911 from an apartment complex parking lot a few blocks away. We don't know if they are alive. They are in their early 30's.
