BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good? BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

Justice Department 'not investigating' Renee Good Killing

This means Trump's DOJ won't dig up her corpse in a couple weeks to put it on trial for attempted murder of the ICE agent.

Sounds like a reasonable compromise where everyone wins!

An investigation would lead to looking into officer training and setting regulations for their engagement and actions.
We can't have any of that for the brown shirts.

#2 | Posted by MBlue at 2026-01-19 10:51 AM

No. But they ARE investigating every democratic leader in the state instead.

Like a good little wannabe dick tator do.

This is a play to make ICE Unaccountable Legally, and I expect the SCOTUS to Rule in Dotard's Favor if the proper vehicle comes before them.

Lots of video out there. Go ahead and play Rockford Files and investigate to your hearts content.

It was a Good shooting.

#5 | Posted by visitor_ at 2026-01-19 12:40 PM

Of course, they're not investigating.

It was probably a condoned if not ordered action.

It was a Good shooting.

#5 | Posted by visitor_

No, it wasn't, idiot.

#6 | Posted by jpw at 2026-01-19 02:49 PM

It literally was a Good shooting. But you think you could have done better?

#7 | Posted by visitor_ at 2026-01-19 03:27 PM

It was not a righteous kill.

#8 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2026-01-19 03:32 PM

You don't shoot in that situation. You step to the side and catch the license plate.

#9 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2026-01-19 03:33 PM

It was a Street Execution by someone who was in no danger when he pulled the trigger.

#10 | Posted by Corky at 2026-01-19 03:33 PM

#7 Rene Nicole Good would still be alive.

That's what could have been better.

You're welcome.

#11 | Posted by A_Friend at 2026-01-19 03:45 PM

#5 Yep. Lots of video out there, including this one

Video analysis clearly contradicts what Noem and Trump (and the ballwashers/visitor_ here) claim about the killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

#12 | Posted by A_Friend at 2026-01-19 03:47 PM

#5 Why, there are even actual pictures for your amusement:

Absolute proof Rene Nicole Good was murdered

#13 | Posted by A_Friend at 2026-01-19 03:50 PM

It was a Good shooting.
#5 | Posted by visitor_

Technically true. He hit his target.

#14 | Posted by censored at 2026-01-19 03:50 PM

#14 Then technically it was murder.

Thanks for confirming that for everyone, censored.

#15 | Posted by A_Friend at 2026-01-19 03:52 PM

Imagine you are standing in front of my SUV and I suddenly accelerate forward to toward you. If you had the capability to shoot, would you?

#16 | Posted by visitor_ at 2026-01-19 04:02 PM

Thanks for confirming that for everyone, censored.
#15 | Posted by A_Friend

I just calls them like I sees them.

#17 | Posted by censored at 2026-01-19 04:03 PM

#16 | Posted by visitor_

To avoid injury? And you're standing a few inches from the car? Shooting the driver won't make the car magically stop on a dime. Seems to me that stepping out of its way would be the best way to avoid getting hurt.

Policing is a different issue, though. Not just about protecting my well-being.

#18 | Posted by censored at 2026-01-19 04:06 PM

There are several drudge.com contributors who are/were law-enforcement personnel that attended either FLETC (like me 2x) or local/state police academies.

These folks have mentioned it in their writings, so we take it at face value they are being honest with us.

Have any of these law-enforcement-experienced folks commented on the poor tradecraft executed by the explosive, hot-tempered Jonathan Ross?

#17 For some reason you forgot this part of my post:

#14 Then technically it was murder.

Thanks for confirming that for everyone, censored.

#15 | Posted by A_Friend at 2026-01-19 03:52 PM

So, yeah, you calls them like you sees them.

Good call on confirming the murder part.

Oh, and don't forget your homework assignment for tonight.

You're welcome.

#20 | Posted by A_Friend at 2026-01-19 04:09 PM

#19 That would require integrity and courage on the part of some of the denizens here.

And integrity and courage seem to be in short supply among those on the Reich right side of the aisle, C0RI0LANUS.

#21 | Posted by A_Friend at 2026-01-19 04:11 PM

Good call on confirming the murder part.
#20 | Posted by A_Friend

You sure do get worked up about stuff. Wonder how you're going to handle the next 30 years Trump SCOTUS rulings. Like when they would bend over backwards to make sure no cop ever sees the inside of a prison cell.

Jill Stein 2028!

#22 | Posted by censored at 2026-01-19 04:19 PM

#22 You're the one confirming that Jonathan Ross murdered Rene Nicole Good.

And it is appreciated.

#23 | Posted by A_Friend at 2026-01-19 04:21 PM

#20 Worked up?

By thanking you for confirming that Rene Nicole Good was murdered by Jonathan Ross?

I was being very gracious.

Can't you accept a compliment, censored?

How's the mud coming along?

#24 | Posted by A_Friend at 2026-01-19 04:25 PM

Imagine you are standing in front of my SUV and I suddenly accelerate forward to toward you. If you had the capability to shoot, would you?
#16 | Posted by visitor_

I wouldn't have the capability to shoot unless I had already readied my weapon.

Why did the officer ready his weapon before the car accelerated forward?

#25 | Posted by snoofy at 2026-01-19 05:09 PM

#25 And the Greatest Hits just keep on coming.

Thanks, Snoofy!

#26 | Posted by A_Friend at 2026-01-19 05:15 PM

If you had the capability to shoot, would you?
#16 | Posted by visitor_

Or would you jump outa the way and THEN shoot her in the face and THEN call her a farging ------.

Like the masked murdering ICEhole did.

#27 | Posted by donnerboy at 2026-01-19 05:40 PM

It literally was a Good shooting. But you think you could have done better?

#7 | POSTED BY VISITOR_

It was literally murder.

And I could have easily done better.

By NOT drawing my weapon unnecessarily and then murdering her when I wasn't in any danger.

#28 | Posted by donnerboy at 2026-01-19 05:48 PM

"Imagine you are standing in front of my SUV"

Imagine why an officer who had previously been dragged by a car would choose to position himself in harm's way by deliberately standung in front of a car.

I'll tell you why.

Premeditation.

#29 | Posted by snoofy at 2026-01-19 05:52 PM

If you were the defense attorney,how would you argue self defense?

Instead of playing prosecutor, how would you mount a defense.

Nate the lawyer laid out for either.

#30 | Posted by Petrous at 2026-01-19 06:14 PM

He didn't draw until she moved forward. She would have to be extremely dumb to accelerate toward an agent with his gun already drawn. Are all your heroes that stupid?

#31 | Posted by visitor_ at 2026-01-19 06:34 PM

#31 Your lies are just way too easy to debunk, liar:

Video analysis clearly contradicts what Noem and Trump (and the ballwashers here) claim about the killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.
Good luck denying what's clearly shown there, liar.

#32 | Posted by A_Friend at 2026-01-19 06:56 PM

#31 Yep. 'Tis just so easy to debunk your lies, liar:

Absolute proof Rene Nicole Good was murdered
Yep.

So easy debunking your lies that it is just like a walk through the park.

Good luck defending your lies, liar.

If you had the capability to shoot, would you?

#16 | POSTED BY VISITOR_

If I had to lean over the hood to shoot at an obtuse angle through the windshield as they passed ...

I'd be in jail with pending charges for murder.

Try again, sport. That s^*%heap is only getting away with it because he's part of the American Gestapo.

#35 | Posted by jpw at 2026-01-19 09:04 PM

You're correct the rules for using deadly force are different for law enforcement.

#36 | Posted by visitor_ at 2026-01-19 11:04 PM

#36

You could not be more wrong. Use of force rules are use of force rules. Don't matter who utilizes.

#34 I love your online logic. Censored plonked me long ago and Never engages at all.

You are amazing,you were with me and you're ripping ol' Sensitive Censored A NEW One.

#37 Don't put that legal theory into practice.

#39 | Posted by visitor_ at 2026-01-20 12:32 AM

Two things I know for sure. The first is that Trump is, at his core, a true fascist and should not be applauded for strutting about.
The second is that MAGA/ICE are his brownshirts...and there will be more bodies. Chaotic blood filled violence will bring out the far right...it was what got Nixon reelected and got Trump back.

#40 | Posted by Hughmass at 2026-01-20 08:09 AM

you mean Renee Good's attempted murder?

#41 | Posted by Maverick at 2026-01-20 09:37 AM

------------, Renee Good was executed.

#36 | Posted by visitor_

The only thing that's different is the willingness to prosecute.

And this administration has shown they'll let their cosplay agents get away with murder so long as the person who is killed is an "agitator."

#45 | Posted by jpw at 2026-01-20 09:58 AM

The Lawlessness is the point. IMPUNITY Is the Goal.

Wear everything down until only the edifice of Repression and Fear Remains.

The Killer? ABSOLVED BY FIAT.

Anyone Complaining about this Outrage?

Investigations and Intimidation.

The Only real Authority or Legal Precedent?

Trump's Will.

Nazism.

Open and shut case of self defense

#47 | Posted by THEBULL

Sure, if you're an idiot.

#48 | Posted by jpw at 2026-01-20 10:54 PM

@#47 ... Open and shut case of self defense ...

Determined or, probably more appropriately, dictated by whom?


Such an instance of a Federal agent killing a person has always triggered an investigation into the shooting.

Why have the Trump officials pronounced their conclusions of this shooting even before there was any formal investigation into the shooting?

Apparently stating their conclusions with no evidence.

Bolshoi - A Way (1986)
www.youtube.com

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
[Verse 1]
We're in love, let's be together
Happy times or heavy weather
Mother says, "Today's a special day"
So let's not fight, okay, yeah

[Verse 2]
When you were at school, you were a honey
The boys all loved you, you loved their money
The boys would stare, you'd cross your legs
And then you'd toss your hair

[Chorus]
Away
Yes, you get by
A way

[Verse 3]
Money's scarce but family honor
Brings it home, brings it home
And down the shop, the tongues, they snicker
TV dinners, beer and liquor, oh, yeah

[Verse 4]
Skeletons fall out of cupboards
Curtains drawn fall open to allow
The light shows up the dust
That plays around your face

[Chorus]
Away
Yes, you get by
A way

Away
Yes, you get by
A way

[Bridge]
Innocence and lies don't make a perfect match
Leave your door unlatched
I know a word can be untrue
And yet still move you

All the time they bring their friends 'round
Dress you up, show you up
And all the time they told you it was true
Well, I'll believe you now

But then, I just don't know
I think I have to reconsider, yeah
I know when she got married
She looked fine in white and lacy frills

Oh yeah, she had a baby
It was painful, it was worth it
And all the time they stuck the knife in
Pulled it up and twisted it around
...
