The murder of Renee Nicole Good by ICE officer Jonathan Ross has certainly created quite the divide between the reality-based majority of the population who doesn’t want masked unaccountable federal law enforcement goons invading cities they have no business being in and shooting people for saying “dude, I’m not mad at you” and trying to drive away… and the fantasy-land MAGA folks who are bending over backwards to justify the murder.
Either way, he killed a person. I don’t know how it’s in the US, but shouldn’t he be suspended until the court decides he’s innocent and after undergoing psychological evaluation?
In the US we give them a pat on the back, reload their gun, and throw them back on the streets.
Good luck with that. Even in Russia, an officer is suspended after killing a person. I guess it compensates court corruption but what do I know
For the police, typically they would be suspended while the case is reviewed.
With these guys, apparently they declare them not guilty on the spot and let tgem carry on shooting civilians.
ICE don’t seem to have any oversight. If Ross were suspended the public has no way of knowing.
Unfortunately, the head of the FBI is a political appointment, making the FBI and Department of Justice under the current administration more tools for selective, partisan legal enforcement than actual justice. Given that the FBI is currently trying to claim Good was an activist, rather than determining whether her civil rights were violated, it currently seems unlikely that Jonathan Ross will be convicted. It’s an investigation looking to paint Ross as the victim from the start.
Unless Minnesota can obtain access to the evidence and try him on their own, the only hope would be for a conviction under a non-Republican administration, assuming Ross isn’t pardoned of federal charges by that point, and that the FBI hasn’t tampered with the evidence in the meantime.
Thanks for the detailed response! So Ross doesn’t even have the status of a suspect, which is common in the US
Well he was acting under the authority of a regime that is actively looking for an excuse to deploy the military against it’s own citizens and fetishizes murdering their political opponents. In a sane world he would at a minimum be suspended pending an investigation, but instead the fuhrer will try to get out of any possible charges and probably give the fucker a medal.
Good psych evaluation is exactly what got him this job in the first place. They want the crazies with no regard for life.
We’ve been saying this broadly for a few years. What should be is not happening broadly. This country is going down in flames.
