Randy Clark: Democrats Cry ‘Murder’ in Minneapolis ICE Shooting to Distract From Massive Minnesota Fraud Scandal

Despite video evidence of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent standing in the path of a vehicle driven by Renee Nicole Good as she attempted to speed away before being shot and killed in Minneapolis, a host of Democrat politicians are now calling the law enforcement officer involved in the shooting “a murderer.” The incident provides Democrats the perfect opportunity to deflect from the state’s ongoing massive fraud scandal.
The strategy seems eerily similar to the 2021 false allegations of “They’re whipping migrants” the Democrats made to deflect attention from the more than 30,000 mostly Haitian illegal aliens that were allowed to pour into the United States despite video evidence clearly showing no Haitian migrants were whipped by Border Patrol agents in Texas.
The left is not blind; they realize what the video evidence clearly shows, but they will not miss the opportunity to leverage the incident to distract from the ongoing fraud and the Congressional hearing that predominantly involves the Minnesota Somalian community. News of Wednesday’s shooting involving the 37-year-old woman who believed she was free to use her vehicle as a tool to express her displeasure with federal immigration enforcement activities has almost completely overshadowed the fraud coverage.

The loss of any life is tragic; the loss of Renee Nicole Good’s life is even more tragic in that it was easily preventable had she peacefully protested ICE immigration enforcement on public property outside of her vehicle and away from the roadway. Using her vehicle as a tool to block the roadway and attempt to keep federal law enforcement agents from completing their mission, coupled with perhaps not following verbal instructions that appear to have been given prior to the shooting, was not the smartest course of action.
Any layperson should realize a vehicle can quickly become a deadly weapon; law enforcement officers are keenly aware of this as well. No greater example of this is the number of people killed and injured in Waukesha, Wisconsin, when Darrell Edward Brooks Jr. drove his sport utility vehicle through a Christmas parade in 2021, killing six people and injuring more than 60 others.

The current Use of Force Policy adopted by ICE in 2023 requires agents to use force only when “no reasonably effective, safe, and feasible alternative appears to exist.” The policy emphasizes de-escalation but makes it clear that the requirement to de-escalate “does not create a duty to retreat, a requirement to wait for an attack before using force, an obligation to meet force with equal or lesser force, or a continuum or checklist of alternative steps that must be tried before resorting to force.”
ICE’ current Use of Force policy requires a use of force incident to be “Objectively Reasonable” from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, rather than with “20/20 vision of hindsight.” The policy lists factors to reach a determination of reasonableness, including, among others: whether the subject poses an imminent threat to the safety of the authorized officer or others; whether the subject is actively resisting or attempting to evade arrest by flight; and whether circumstances are uncertain and rapidly evolving.

Despite the evidence that clearly supports the use of deadly force on the part of the agent involved in Wednesday’s shooting, Democrats like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar have all made public comments vilifying the agent involved in the shooting.
In a social media post on X on Wednesday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey quickly laid the blame on the federal immigration enforcement agents before most of the details of the shooting were widely known, saying:
"I am aware of a shooting involving an ICE agent at 34th Street & Portland. The presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city. We’re demanding ICE to leave the city immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities."
~Snip~Minnesota Governor Tim Walz used his platform on X to urge his followers to ignore their lying eyes saying, “I’ve seen the video. Don’t believe this propaganda machine. The state will ensure there is a full, fair, and expeditious investigation to ensure accountability and justice,” on a post countering the details of the shooting provided by the Department of Homeland Security.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, death threats on ICE agents have increased by more than 8,000 percent. The anti-ICE rhetoric spewed by leftist politicians that went into high gear after Wednesday’s shooting incident in Minneapolis does nothing to ease tension in the city or increase safety for the agents and the public. Rather than provide sound advice urging constituents not to impede federal agents engaged in the enforcement of immigration laws, and warning protestors about the dangers of weaponizing vehicles to do the same, puts lives at risk, they seek to amplify the chaos within their own communities.
The politically charged rhetoric coming from the left to vilify federal law enforcement agents tasked with enforcing immigration laws that have been in existence for decades does nothing to reduce the likelihood others won’t suffer the same fate as Renee Nicole Good.
Commentary:
The video shows Good was not peacefully protesting. Her vehicle was perpendicular to the path of the road and intentionally blocking federal vehicles from passing.
Second, if she was just 'peacefully protesting' why did her wife feel the need to get out and record the encounter?
Third, When the cop gives you a legal order to stop and get out of the car, you do it (unless of course, you are a sovereign citizen...LOL).
Fourth, Attempted murder with a dangerous weapon doesn't say the weapon has to be a gun, knife or exploding pen, just something that can cause death. Well, automobiles cause many more deaths than guns every year.
Fifth, Why is it that on a different video her wife cries "It's my fault!"
This is a DSA Marxist farce. Americans are not buying it. The noise on the screen represents a very small minority amplified by the media who want riots nationwide because the increase viewership and profits.
