This is the blame the victim narrative. You reach into your pocket for a handkerchief, you're shot dead, you don't reach for a handkerchief, make a sudden loud noise (i.e. sneeze) you're shot dead, you're told to drive away, you drive away not harming anyone you're shot dead. ICE agents are not paid by the government, they're paid by citizens through taxation. They are public servants not public slave masters like in OT Egypt where someone called Moses took violent action against the government! Except Renee Good didn't kill anyone or hurt anyone.
Wearing a uniform doesn't put someone automatically in the right. There are so many cases when men in uniform massacred unarmed civilians e.g a certain Sunday in St Petersburg in 1905 and another Sunday in Londonderry in 1972 or a Monday in Manchester in 1819. If you take the "government is always right and the people are always wrong" view then these massacres and the many others like them should be celebrated as times when the lawful government asserted their right to murder the country's citizens with impunity. Is that what you think?
It may not be true for you but it seems to me that some people in this forum have adopted a particular line for partisan political reasons, not based on what actually happened.
