FYI, Steve. Now I am going to talk about something I have not been discussing instead of "internal bleeding" and media literacy.
But its not the fun making. But the reference to later encounters ie the plates are the same every moring. Why does it matter to ICE that their plates are the same every morning if they will never see them to check.

The plates will be the same when you see us later on. Later on where. If they drove off then when would that later time be. If not another encounter. At that stage Rebecca thought they were going to drive away and not be around to be seen later within the same incident.
Virtually everything Becca Good says to the ICE man is sarcasm and snark. It is exceedingly common in the region especially when dealing with self-important humorless persons like him.

When she refers to "we don't change our plates every morning" she is referring to the ICE practice of [illegally] changing their plates to not match the registration of the car. When she says "see us later on" she is referring both to his photographing of *their plates* and that they expect to do more ICE monitoring later in the day where they expected to have their plates recorded again. Here she is indicating that she is aware that ICE tracks monitors and they are not intimidated.

Her use of "big boy" is to infantilize him. It is a common usage against self-important men that want to show how important they are. She is treating him toddler who has just learned how to use the toilet.

They are not quotes. Its to seperate what I have summarised rather than the persons direct quote.
You used quotes. You don't have to put your own interpretations in quotes.
You talk about me changing what was said.
Yes, and at the same time using quotes.
You literally just added words to what was said. No one said anything about Rebecca saying that the officers were going to come back and talk to them later.
But I didn't use quotes.
She merely said the plates will be the same plates when they see them later. Theres no indication of what is meant by later. Your assuming it means the same incident. If the women managed to drive away. What was the later tome they would come in contact with ICE agents. If not another seperate time.
It could mean that they expected ICE to come and visit them later.
Now you are reading stuff into this. I agree its a big "perhaps". But I don't think so. If the women abided and drove off they would not have been in trouble. There would be no reason to come and see them later.

Why, they had done nothing wrong at that stage. It seems the ICE officers were continually checking and noting protesters number plates. To monitor who was protesting.

So your saying this was their first time they had protested against ICE.
Where did I say that?
Its early days so we will not know for sure. But it doesn't matter anyway.

Whether this was her first time or not they were certainly not innocent bystanders. They were agitating ICE officers, They actions don't speak of a fresh and green protestor. They were the only ones illegally blocking and threatening ICE. One time was enough to go too far.

For the same reason you wrote yours.
So you write your own posts because you are presenting tendentious interpretations and because you use bad quotes?
Thats right. Its early days.

But its not the fun making. But the reference to later encounters ie the plates are the same every moring. Why does it matter to ICE that their plates are the same every morning if they will never see them to check.
Perhaps they say it so that ICE knows that the plates match the owner records? Perhaps they are prepared that their actions can lead to follow-up visits?
The plates will be the same when you see us later on. Later on where. If they drove off then when would that later time be. If not another encounter. At that stage Rebecca thought they were going to drive away and not be around to be seen later within the same incident.

But they had not been arrested.
Where did I say they were arrested?
You are not injecting unfounded assumptions into whats happening.

You literally just claimed that Rebecca said that the 'later; she used was about the officers coming aroiund to her house later.
I said that it can mean that.
I am doing exactly the same as you. Summarising what I think they meant. Its not a lie but an honest interpretation of what they meant.
But you put it in quotes.
Ah everyone has made statements on the evidence at hand. Why would that mean no one can make further statements on new evidence at hand.
Of course you can, that is not the problem but a plain reading of what was actually said doesn't support what you said. And quotes should actually quote what was said, you can't change the quotes themselves to fit your narrative.
See, you are literally doing what you accused me of doing.
Did I change any quotes?
I am not using the wifes statement but logic and a reasonable assumption. That people who joing activists groups are usually activists and don't just do it once. They get involved as an ongoing concern. Otherwise they are negating their own activism.
Still not evidenced by the wife's statements.

I disagree that it is a reasonable assumption. If the statements as easily can support another hypothesis then they are not evidence for any hypothesis.

When she said something aong the lines to the officer "you know the routine, its been the same every time you have seen us. It will be the same later on today when you see us again.
Here is an example. Your quote of her is nowhere close to what she actually said, and your interpretation is a better fit with your changes than what she actually said. It reads disingenuously.

Why use quotes at all if you are changing what was said to suit your narrative?

You conveniently chose a picture which shows her backed up, but at the beginning of the video you can clearly see the front of her car is over the centre line. Even in the picture you show she is still parked on a lane perpendicular to the road, which is a traffic offence. So you’re arguing a moot point.
Wrong. If you watch the video taken from the rear Renee Good (she has a name) backs up her car after this point. I was correcting your false statement. A traffic offence does not justify cold blooded murder. The position of Good's car when approached by ICE agents is what is relevant.
She is still blocking a lane by parking perpendicular to the road, which is an offence regardless.
No cars were blocked from driving down the road.
So that makes the offence less bad?
I was correcting your false statement about multiple horns sounding
What are you implying?
That that is where the horn is sounding about something else.
Ross is an ICE officer not a police officer. Two different departments.
So it's ok for ICE to go around shooting people then since police good practice doesn't apply to them.
Doesn’t matter what her intentions were. She was ordered to get out of the car by the officer and that’s what she should have done.
Good had also been told to drive away. She hadn't committed any immigration offences.
I saw no aggression in their approach. I saw just the opposite. I saw them calmly walk up to the car.
They tried to violently open Good's car door. Her side window was open so they could speak to her. It looked like they intended to drag her out of her car.
There’s this thing called adrenaline, that came make you appear fine for a while but then after it wears off you feel the affects of any injuries.
This is invention by you based on nothing.

If the road was blocked the car wouldn't be able to go round. Waving a car round is not the same as a car or cars going round.
You wouldn't have to wave a car around if you weren't blocking the road. She was blocking a lane of travel. That is blocking the roadway.

No it does not. So it is a good thing that did not happen.
The position of her car is only relevant as a piece of the evidence as to why the agents were contacting her and commanding her to get out of the car.

The shooting occurred when she drove the car forward and struck the agent with it.
No cars were blocked from driving down the road.
The cars were blocked from driving in that lane of traffic.
So it's ok for ICE to go around shooting people then since police good practice doesn't apply to them.
I don't think anyone has said that. What has to be determined is if the officer reasonably believed at the time he was in danger of serious injury or death when she drove her car into him.
Good had also been told to drive away. She hadn't committed any immigration offences.
We don't know if she was told to drive away or not. We do know the officer at her window was ordering her out. It is alleged she had committed Federal Offenses for which she was being detained.
They tried to violently open Good's car door. Her side window was open so they could speak to her. It looked like they intended to drag her out of her car.
All that is irrelevant. She was ordered out and wasn't getting out. They probably would have dragged her out for refusing to get out. That's kind of how it works.
This is invention by you based on nothing.
Its based on science. Its a natural physiological response.

Yes we do. She had just dropped her kids off at school.

Do you even know any police officers? I know a bunch. They say that it doesn't.
I can tell you from experience we sometimes yell at people to get out of the car

I guess she was just being friendly then and waving at everyone

You still haven't answered my question. Did any cars pass in front of Good's car when she was parked in the position at which time ICE officers approached her and her car in the period of time before she was shot dead? Yes or no?

Ok so the video shows cars passing in front of Good's car. I don't know why you couldn't just state that in words though. So the road wasn't blocked since vehicles were able to pass by Good's car.

But since you seem to like non verbal answers:

If only she had followed those instructions she might still be alive. Thanks for pointing that out

Was she parked sideways in the road blocking a lane or traffic? Yes

Actually, in that video you linked that shows the 3 minute lead up...it's the first I'd seen that video (from the across the street person recording it)... shows here honking her horn and laughing and dancing having a jolly old time.

She's be refusing instructions for several minutes, and based on the other interviews in the video, it would appear that Renee (at least based on what the bystanders observed) was the de facto leader of that protest caravan.

People keep mentioning "I saw another car get around"...

Yes, some managed to squeak by while at the very end of when she was pulling it forward, but...basic common sense should be letting people know that moving it forward by another few feet immediately afterwards is the difference between a Chevy Suburban or big pick up being to get through vs. not get through.


Here's the place where her car was after she was done pulling it forward
1769100933805.png


It's way over the line into the other lane, and there's another car (the white one) that's parked on the street.

This one was able to sneak around while she was pulling forward
1769101170218.png


But after that one got around, she moved another 3-4 feet

Good wasn't parked parallel to the curb but not exactly perpendicular, say c70 degrees to the kerb when approached by the two agents. The video (not as unbiased as claimed) doesn't show Good's car straddling the centre dashed line of the road. Where I live people aren't shot in the head for parking offences. Are people shot in the head for illegal parking where you live? Note I've given a verbal answer in this post. How about you do the same.

To avoid uncertainty which instructions?
Pretty much all of the instructions for a period of 4-5 minutes were ignored

Move the vehicle
- No
Move the vehicle
- horns and whistles
Move the vehicle
- honks the horn even more and dances in the car
Move the vehicle
- pulls it forward even further
Move the vehicle
- wife gets out to trash talk
Move the vehicle
- "hehe go around, I'm not mad, are you mad???" (like a sibling saying "why are you hitting yourself")
Okay, that's enough, get out of the vehicle
- hits the gas to attempt to flee
