No police officer or public safety officer in the country would shoot an allegedly fleeing suspect.
They violated the Constitution and protocols by murdering a woman when there was no serious danger, and refusing to attend to their victim's health. Not only that, they refused a doctor's offer to help at the scene.

Oh, baloney. The pastor talked willingly to Lemon who was reporting on the situation as journalists are wont to do. Lol, "interrogating" ^_^


That's why thousands of DOJ Civil Rights Division lawyers have quit! The division refuses to investigate the ICE victim but instead goes after the reporter? This is more Orwellian stuff from the most Orwellian administration!
Thousands?

According to Justice Connections:

  • Before recent staffing changes in 2025, the Civil Rights Division was reported to employ on the order of about 365 attorneys across its sections (civil enforcement, criminal, voting rights, etc.).
Exagerations do not bode well for debate

The officer she attempted to run down suffered internal bleeding.

Being attacked with a vehicle is returned with live fire. It is not uncommon nor is it against policy.

All she had to do is stop

She was not murdered. Also, there is no real proof that there was a doctor at the scene. He said he was a doctor, but he didn't provide proof. Also, Renee Goode was not fleeing the scene. She drove her car into a law enforcement officer.

Without a proper investigation into what happened neither of us can really say this for sure.
Also, there is no real proof that there was a doctor at the scene.
Maybe. There was an ambulance that was not immediately allowed to get to the scene by ICE and we know the officer who shot Goode did not render first aid. That’s as bad as just letting her die.
He said he was a doctor, but he didn't provide proof.
Seeing how ICE doesn’t even accept proof of citizenship, I doubt this would have mattered.

A few years back, I listened to a sermon where the pastor noted that Christians usually trust God with their eternal future, but are reluctant to rely on Him for things like money, relationships, or situations they can influence. The pastor explained that it's EASY to trust God with eternity because we have no control over it—once we are saved, our actions can't alter it. In contrast, when it comes to areas we can manage, we often prefer to be practical and take matters into our own hands rather than depend on Him.

The pastor's point is that when Christians say, "I trust God with eternity”, but emphasize on being practical on other things, what they truly mean is that they don't actually trust God with anything.
Again, relying on God for earthly things doesn't mean being stupid and not using the tools he gives us to protect ourselves and those in our care. It means the opposite.

DOJ civil rights chief blasts Don Lemon as she vows charges against anti-ICE protesters who interrupted church service

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department "will pursue charges" related to a protest inside a St. Paul church, Harmeet Dhillon, the department's assistant attorney general for civil rights, said in an interview Monday while specifically calling out ex-CNN journalist Don Lemon for his coverage of the event.
When Don Lemon tried to interview one of the pastors, did he leave when he was asked to?

ICE does indeed accept proof of citizenship.

Irrelevant, in the sense that no one asked him for any proof - they just told him that he could not render aid while also doing nothing themselves.

Doesn’t matter. They stopped an actual ambulance from immediately getting to the scene and did not render aid after shooting Goode.

Don Lemon joins anti-ICE protesters storming Minnesota church service in chaotic scenes as stunned pastor blasts 'unacceptable' stunt


A left-wing mob stormed a Minnesota church to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), stopping services and leaving worshippers furious.

Protesters interrupted Sunday service at Cities Church in St Paul, angrily demanding 'ICE out' and accusing a senior leader of the church of working with the agency.
This is actually illegal.

Your post doesn't jive with the actual facts.
