CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Officer Byrd would have had to put himself in grave danger if he had tried to stop her any other way. Again, she was not alone. There were several others trying to breach the doors at the same time she was. Getting up close and personal with her or any of the other people trying to get through those doors in a effort to try and stop them wasn't an option.

He actually was quite close to her, as in right on the other side of the door. He could have used pepper spray to repel the entire crowd. Instead, he used a firearm against an unarmed woman.
Now before you say that the lesbian woman in the video in Minneapolis was unarmed, remember that she had a vehicle that weighed thousands of pounds and could run someone over very easily and kill them. That's not to say that shooting her was the correct thing to do, but it is a fact that a vehicle can easily be used as a weapon.

He was 15 feet away and didn't have any pepper spray, so that wasn't an option.
Yes, a vehicle can be used as a weapon and often is, but in this case the evidence shows she was trying to leave the scene and avoid hitting any of the officers in the process. There's no indication that her intent was to kill anyone.

I also saw (on the TikTok machine) a video of the street where this t-rex is…a couple of doors down there’s a large shark, as well.I don't think AI is a factor in this one
Video taken by ICE agent shows new angle of fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis
The White House shared video showing a different angle of Renee Nicole Good's shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis and the moments that led up to it, as the investigation continues.www.cbsnews.com
The video has been verified by CBS News' Confirmed team. The agent seen in the reflection of the car matches the agent seen in other verified footage.
As to the video from Officer(?) Ross, he had had the phone in his right hand and after talking with the wife, switched it to his left hand. Was this to have easy access to his service weapon, had he planned on drawing it out then?

No, it really isn't.
He busted out a window, tased the guy, and his arm got stuck. More poor judgment on his part. Sounds like he really just shouldn't be allowed around cars, TBH.
So, what, because they complain about the use of non-lethal force they can't complain about lethal force?
CBP and ICE both have extensive, documented issues with their use of force, both lethal and non-lethal, over the past year. There are undoubtedly situations in which it's appropriate to apply both, but the frequent use of excessive force in situations where it was not warranted have, understandably, made a lot of people skeptical about any use of force
Nope. If, for whatever reason, she had decided to run over the officer, I'd be blaming her for escalating to lethal force. But she didn't.
I've never said that she shouldn't have been charged with a crime if she did bump the officer. The "move out of the way" qualifier is part of the guidelines around use of lethal force, so unless you're arguing that protestors should be allowed to shoot drivers if they think they're in danger of being hit, I don't see the relevance.
That is, quite literally, what she was doing when she was shot. Her last words - to the officer who would go on to shoot her less than 30 seconds later - were "It's fine, I'm not mad at you."

No need to read minds. His own words right after killing her give him away.

This is pretty much what I thought. You want him to be run over before he uses force. I mean in a previous post you admitted he was struck by the vehicle. So now tge standard is he needed to be run over. Good grief.
Unfortunately her actions said something different when she accelerated at him.

I don’t think she did that. I saw video from different angles and it looks to me like she was trying to run off.
I have to say that Trump calling her a ”domestic terrorist” was disgraceful. A good leader would shut up and let the investigations begin.

Those on the left are really twisting themselves into a pretzel to try and defend this woman’s actions.
The body cam debunks the claim that she was receiving conflicting orders from the ice officers. An officer is clearly heard shouting orders for her to get out of the vehicle several times. She doesn’t comply. It is in fact her partner that shouts “Drive, Baby, drive!” As the officer is in front of the car, which could suggest her partner wanted her to run the officer over.
It’s sad this woman lost her life, but to quote another member on the Ashli Babbitt thread “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”

Gotcha. It's either "my bad, I'll move my car and get out of here" or get shot in the face.
While I'm here, can you comment on Trump saying that the officer and others were hurt. In fact, Trump said he'd actually been run over: "violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer...based on the attached clip'.
We've all seen the clips. Trump was lying. We all know that. Why do you think he lied yet again? Why is telling the truth so very difficult for him?

An interesting thing about comparing the deaths of Ashley Babbitt and Renee Good is that both sides of the political spectrum considers one an innocent victim and the other a domestic terrorist. However,
Both were killed by Federal Law Enforcement and both were killed during the Trump Administration.
