Woman shot and killed by ICE officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota
(985 Posts)Yesterday there was a very tragic shooting of a woman leaving the scene of an Immigration raid/incident . The video clips are very disturbing as she is shot and killed by an officer after she was given conflicting information by two officers . One who told her to leave and another who told her to get out of the car.
She was killed by a third officer who was to the side of the car . I can only advise you not to watch the clip if you feel it might be disturbing . I was able to read a good account of it in the NYT and it definitely looks and reads like she was murdered.
She was a white, US citizen not a target of the raid.
I truly feel like the USA is imploding from the inside out and that Trump is creating fires of danger everywhere.

After Starfire admitted yesterday she formed her incorrect opinion based on a “misquoted article” she’d read without bothering to read the actual federal court document link posted- I came to the same conclusion as you.
You get to know some of the Posters. There are folk on here whose posts I seek out.
This Thread will close soon as we are on page 39. Hope there will be justice for Renee Good.
One of the points of value of this thread has been an opportunity to look at matters happening internally, as opposed to Trumps dramatic foreign policies.
How are his diktats affecting life for those on medicaid, obtaining justice when courts are in turmoil and tied up with political not civil matters...what is actually happening in communities that relied on cheap incomers work? Who is standing up to Trump and how?
Perhaps one of us can find a starting point for these issues? Foggy brain here atm.
Why would anyone other than US GN members be interested in internal affairs there? Are we interested in France’s internal affairs or anywhere else? I think the preoccupation with DT is going a bit far now.
His foreign policies are the only ones that need concern us, and there’s plenty of them.
With the soon ending of this thread I do hope to see justice for Renee Good and her family. I know it will take time but I do think the truth of her tragic last day will come to light.
This particular event was of interest as are any unsettling or criminal acts such as school shootings, but medicaid?

It’s bound to as there’s plenty of video images with sound. Ultimately tho it will be a matter of what’s lawful and what isn’t.
Which will be decided on points of law.

Do we/you really live in a world where internal developments in major countries don’t concern anyone beyond their borders? History suggests that domestic political shifts often shape foreign policy, alliances, economic stability, and even global norms.
Paying attention to internal affairs isn’t necessarily obsession—it can be a way of understanding what may affect our shared future.
Nobody was interested when Biden was in office or Obama.
This was posted on bluesky this morning.
Apparently ICE are pulling in non white off duty cops...

I share your sentiments Syracute and really hope so.
Wonder why some Posters keep trying to close down discussion?
Never works. Just helps to keep the Thread thriving so, not complaining. Just wondering.

I don’t agree Oreo, but that’s fine. From where I’m sitting, US domestic politics has always been followed abroad; just more closely when it looks likely to affect others.

I would guess it's not surprising that those who support performative politicians tend towards performative discussion?

Who’s trying to shut down any discussion? This thread will no doubt reach the full 1,000 as many threads do in news and politics.
If anyone is interested in Medicaid or any other internal US policies then start a thread on it right now.
I was listening to commentators today talking about Trump’s performative actions on the world stage.
The trouble is that logic dictates that he has to continually ramp it up until the unthinkable.
I wish I hadn’t heard that as it made sense.
Renee Good’s family’s lawyer has released the results of an independent autopsy. It found tgree ‘bullet paths’.
One gunshot struck her left forearm, causing soft tissue damage and hemorrhage
One gunshot wound traversed the right breast without penetrating major internal organs
One gunshot entered the left side of her head near the templeand exited the right side of her head
Clearly the first shot (from the front of the vehicle) was not the fatal one.
This intensifies the horror for me..

Sorry about the massive URL
Of course, Oreo, some posters have family and friends in the USA, so have an interest in internal politics there.
I was interested in such matters under the previous presidents, too, actually.

Of course we can be interested in what happens in other countries, just as those who may live in other countries might take an interest or even criticise what happens in the UK, especially if they were born here or have family here.
It’s a narrow view of the world if you aren’t interested in the domestic affairs of other countries, because good ideas for societal change come from all over the world. I think when domestic situations are volatile the interest ramps up - for example French politics have often been discussed on Gransnet. The more closely aligned to a country we are, the more we want to know and discuss.

Things happening in the USA , for as long as Trump is 'in charge', matter worldwide, especially when you see the list of charities/aid agencies that Trump is defunding.
