Renee Good’s family is suing the Trump administration and several federal officials over her fatal shooting by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer during an operation in Minneapolis in January, her family announced on Thursday.
In two civil lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, Good’s family asserts a wrongful death claim against the United States and accuses federal officials and immigration enforcement agents of violating her civil rights, respectively.
White House aide Stephen Miller, former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her former aide Corey Lewandowski, former Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino, and ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who killed Good, are named as defendants in the second lawsuit.
Fatal shooting = murder
Yeah is there any way we can get more fact based reporting back? I’m tired of these headlines that intentionally soften the blow…
End qualified immunity. Tax payers shouldn’t foot this bill…
Godspeed to the effort

yep, fuck her parents, they got what they voted for.
hopefully her partner and children are set for life, though. there’s nothing that can replace losing your parent, and the government should make sure that they shouldn’t ever need to struggle in life.

Are you saying Renee’s family all voted for Trump?

Indeed you would. I just didn’t know their political leanings had been publicized.
Anyway, it’s not about them. It’s about making sure Ross, Miller, Trump, et al, face justice. A lawsuit won’t do that, but it will keep this in the public’s consciousness so that if we ever get a government willing to hold these fucks accountable, there will still be enough public pressure to make sure it happens. It will also hopefully help to surface more evidence.

Indeed you would have to be brain dead to not have seen the writing on the wall
I think they’re agreeing that someone would, indeed, have to be stupid not to see the writing on the wall about ICE

Yes, and I’d appreciate if you stopped condescending to me.
Like I said, the real value in this is that it will a) keep ICE’s murders in the public consciousness longer and b) hopefully surface more evidence that can be used in an eventual criminal trial for all these fascists.
And you have to be braindead to think that shaming people for choosing to do the right thing is the way to change anyone’s mind.

Settle down, this is a warning for a short break.

I see you already did. You guys are both very passionate about your side, I get how it could easily cross the line. I appreciate you both letting it go. I have time to give you a warning today and you both were very sincere. Usually I don’t have time and I would just ban you both for a day.
The fuck is wrong with you that you can’t even spell the word ‘fuck’ correctly?
Sympathy isn’t the same as not shaming people for choosing the right thing.

Settle down too Velma. This is a warning for a short break.
Fair enough.

This is part of the first warning, settle down and discuss it.
Forgiving is also not the same as not shaming people for choosing the right thing.

They’re suing the administration over their daughter’s murder. They have spoken out and regretted their votes.
Yelling at and shaming people for choosing to the right things, even after they were wrong and maybe especially after they were wrong, is not effective at anything beyond soothing your own fucked up ego.
Yeah ok, woah. Its definitely good that the family is doing the right thing. But we also have absolutely no evidence that they wouldn’t vote fascist again under a different banner. I’m not yelling, are you?
I didn’t accuse you of yelling, did I?
Do you think openly shaming people for changing in the right direction will encourage people to keep making the right decisions?

This is FALSE! Her parents voted EXACTLY for This to Happen!
Their daughter was murdered and they’re doing the right thing now.
“Sure we voted to forcibly remove non whites from the country but now that it affected us personally we’re sooooo regretful of our vote.”
Why should we reward them now for only regretting something once they were personally affected? They sure don’t have an issue with it happening to the “others” or they wouldn’t have voted Trump in the first place.
I mentioned in another thread that yes, what happened to Good and Pretti shouldn’t be happening to anyone, but I will not feign sympathy because the people that voted for a policy they didn’t think would affect them, affected them.

Ok.
Again, what do you think shaming people doing the right thing on Lemmy does beyond soothing yourself?
