ICE agents in Minneapolis shot and killed a young mother with three children, Renee Nicole Good, six years after George Floyd's brutal murder by police. What happened to Good is a stark reminder of the country's systemic problems with law enforcement and immigration authorities.
Good had been stopped by ICE agents while driving her child to school. Despite having no criminal record, she was allegedly refusing to cooperate with them. The agent, who fired multiple shots at her, did not have any reason to believe his life was in danger. Good had simply reacted to the presence of armed men at her vehicle's door.
This incident is a microcosm of America's larger issues. Six years after George Floyd's murder sparked widespread protests demanding police reform and defunding the police, we're still grappling with systemic issues surrounding law enforcement violence. The video footage of Renee Good's murder has become a powerful tool for showing the American people what violence perpetrated by government agents looks like.
ICE's use-of-force policy is built on de-escalation techniques, respect for human life, and only using force when "no reasonably effective, safe and feasible alternative appears to exist." However, it seems these guidelines were ignored in Renee Good's case. In fact, ICE has been resorting to violence as a common tactic during immigration crackdowns.
The killing of Renee Good is the ninth ICE shooting since September, and it highlights the need for stricter accountability within government agencies. The lack of training, oversight, and commitment to de-escalation methods can lead to unnecessary violence.
It's crucial that we rally behind a better view – one that prioritizes justice over strength. As Justice Byron White once stated, "It is not better that... felony suspects die than that they escape." We should demand more from our law enforcement agencies and immigration authorities.

this is so heartbreaking what happened to Renee and her kids can't be forgiven or justified she was just trying to get her kid to school and have a normal day and yet she got shot by armed men in ICE agents' uniforms 
it's like they think violence is an option every time they're dealing with someone who might not cooperate or is just trying to protect their family. we need to take responsibility for the actions of our law enforcement and immigration authorities and demand that they follow de-escalation techniques and actually try to resolve situations peacefully 
! Another young life lost due to ICE's reckless actions 
. Renee Good's story highlights the country's deep-seated issues with law enforcement & immigration authorities 
. It's heartbreaking that her kids will grow up without a mom 
. We need to demand stricter accountability & better training for these agents 
. The fact that they fired multiple shots at her & didn't even think it was a threat is just devastating 
. 9 ICE shootings since September?! This is not what America is supposed to be about 
. We need change, like NOW 
!
! The fact that Renee Good's life was taken in such a brutal manner by ICE agents is a wake-up call for us as a society 
. I mean, she had no criminal record and was just trying to do her job as a mom 
, but the system failed her miserably 
. We need to demand better from our law enforcement agencies and immigration authorities #JusticeOverStrength 
. It's time for accountability and stricter training policies in place to prevent such tragedies from happening again

what's wrong with de-escalation techniques, right? 
Renee Nicole Good was just a young mom trying to drop off her kids at school and get some work done, not even thinking about getting involved with the authorities. Can you believe she had no criminal record 
yet they still decided to shoot her? It's like they were more interested in proving a point than keeping people safe.
it's clear that ICE's use-of-force policy is not being followed, and it's costing lives. We should be focusing on de-escalation techniques and finding peaceful solutions, not resorting to violence 
let's prioritize justice over strength and make sure that everyone, regardless of their background or immigration status, is treated with dignity and respect 
It's time for us to demand better from our law enforcement agencies and immigration authorities. We need to prioritize people over policies, and that starts with holding our government accountable. 
.
. It's time for us to reevaluate our priorities - is justice or strength what we're fighting for? 
Renee Nicole Good had her whole life cut short by people who were supposed to be protecting us. six years after George Floyd's murder we're still dealing with the same issues. it's like, how many more lives have to get lost? 
Renee was just trying to protect her kids and she ended up losing her life. this is a total miscarriage of justice 
. And six years after George Floyd's murder, we're still dealing with these kinds of systemic issues... it feels like we're not learning from our mistakes 
. The video footage is really eye-opening and I hope it makes people realize that this isn't just an ICE issue, it's a broader problem with law enforcement and government agencies in general 
it's like, we knew this was a problem and now 6 years later...ICE has another one under their belt. We need to hold these agencies accountable for their actions. We can't just sit back and let them say "oh no reasonably effective" when they're clearly not following their own policies. 
, no reason at all for these agents to escalate the situation 
. The fact that they shot multiple times without any life-threatening threat to themselves is absolutely unacceptable 
. This isn't just about Renee Good; it's about all those who have been victims of systemic violence 
We need to do better, we really do. Stricter accountability for these agencies is not enough, we need real change
