In reply to the discussion: New angle shows Good blocking the street and honking before the shooting. [View all]John1956PA
(4,840 posts)36. You have described the situation very well.
As an aside, I will suggest that it may not even have been a situation of civil disobedience. I do not know what events led up to her car being parked sideways blocking one lane of travel or how long it had been there. Maybe she turned to travel up the street, saw some action, started making a "K" turn, and then paused to record the action. I do not know if the eventual shooter ordered her to leave. All we know so far about their conversation was that she stated she was not "mad" at him. Maybe he told her to stay where she was so that he could walk around her car to video record it. We will have to wait until further facts are known.

OP
If Good was not named in a juducual warrant, then ICE has no power of arrest

He was clearly furious with her. Because he couldn't terrorize her or arrest her.

Sadly, when you got the president coming out saying you're a hero for stone cold murder...

"She was actually interfering with law enforcement and could have been arrested. Sorry, that's the reality."

I've no idea... the charge I would have slapped on her would have been impeding law enforcement...

It's legal to protest, what she did might warrant a traffic citation

This post is bullshit Republican talking points. It has been sent to the jury as objectionable.

No law enforcement was happening, she was trying to follow orders, and any of the things you describe in your OP

"This proves she was murdered by ICE." What does? Ross being frustrated? Plenty of jurors would find that justifiable.

It's hard to tell at least on a phone (mine) vs a ? tablet or especially a computer, but the horn sound was not....

You are correct... all I have is video angles... Are you saying they didn't murder her? They clearly did!

I agree... but I think this video proves the ICE agent acted out of anger... not duty.

I think they're pissed off because you said that she was interfering with law enforcement

There were posts stating the police could just go to her house and arrest her since they had her plate number

Correct... she lived on the street. Any real police would have just tacked on another charge...

Has ICE in the current crackdown ever "followed up" with an impeding arrest?

ICE had no legal authority to tell a US citizen to get out of the vehicle and they are also not traffic cops

Find myself wondering: how many people who say she was blocking traffic have ever driven on icy roads

Even in this, your most charitable interpretation, her crime was to blow her horn and whistle.
