Or any other LE situation. I'm not seeing it, one might oppose any decision or action by a gov't agency, scream and holler all you want from the sidewalk. Challenge it in a court of law, that is what the courts there for, to limit whatever you believe the gov't is doing. BUT - doing anything that interferes with what ICE or any other agency is doing is a federal crime and you can get arrested for doing that, and rightly so. Your freedom of speech doesn't allow you to impede an ICE operation like Ms Good was doing.
We can talk about whether or not she should have been shot, but that isn't the point of this debate. It is not okay to do what she did, and it is not okay for Mayor Frey and Governor Walt to use inflammatory rhetoric to encourage unlawful behavior and they should be held accountable IMHO for their part in all of this. ***** about ICE and their policies all you want, but do not tell people to break the law. Any law. I would posit that if Mayor Frey has allowed and even required local police to keep the ICE operation safe for everybody that Renee Good would be alive today. So, a number of bad decisions were likely made on that day and the days leading up to the shooting. In my view, Frey and Walz were a part of the problem.
