ICE kills a US citizen in Minneapolis

AI is Satan IMHO.
Ergo, Horace is in league with Satan.

So the guy that wasn’t in danger suffered internal bleeding. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-officer-who-shot-renee-good-internal-injuries-sources-say/

Let’s not bother.
There are far better and more defensible reasons to despise/loathe/hate Trump than this trifle. Unprincipled behaviour and lack of statesmanship, unwarranted tariffs on imports, threats against neighbours and allies, hubris, swagger, demagoguery and self aggrandizement ad nauseum are quite sufficient to disparage, despise and even hate the old orange bastard.

I mean he jumped out of the way so maybe he pulled a muscle? He literally ran after the car and then walked back asking folks to call 911 (I'm guessing his phone ran out of battery). He sure did a lot for someone who was "violently, willfully, and viciously ran over by a car", according to what our President saw in the video.
-
The intention then would be to stop a rampaging driver intent on using her car as a weapon.
But I know, even if the ICE officer was hit hard enough to cause internal bleeding, he should have been expected to evaluate the situation as no present risk and no future risk, within a fraction of a second.

What constitutes the internal bleeding? A bruise? Rupture of an existing hernia caused during 4 second fracas? As for him still off work, probably to be expected since he did shoot and kill someone while on duty. That alone could qualify for time off and post trauma counselling.
Like Mik and others, I’m not buying the Homeland Security spin as described in the CBS report.

I asked Gemini. Treated and released the same day. It ain't a ruptured spleen or kidney.
According to reports following the shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026, the ICE agent involved, Jonathan Ross, was treated for internal bleeding to the torso.
Specific details regarding the exact medical procedures or medications administered have not been publicly disclosed by federal authorities, but the following facts about his treatment and condition have been confirmed:
- Hospitalization and Release: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed that Ross was taken to a hospital immediately after the incident where he was "treated by a doctor." He was released the same day to recover with his family.
- Cause of Injury: DHS officials stated the internal bleeding was caused by being "hit by the vehicle" (Good's SUV) during the confrontation.
- Medical Status: While the extent of the bleeding was described by some officials as unclear, he was stable enough for a same-day discharge. DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin later confirmed the internal injury update to several news outlets on January 14, 2026.
- Context of Previous Injuries: Reports also noted that Ross was recovering from a separate, serious incident in June 2025, where he was dragged by a car during an arrest, requiring 33 stitches to his arms and hands.
The shooting remains under investigation by the FBI, which took over the case from local Minnesota authorities shortly after the incident.
Would you like more information on the official DHS statements regarding the incident or the status of the FBI investigation?

Maybe the situation is that he jumped hard enough to pull a muscle, and the car missed him entirely. If he needed to jump out of the way, or get run over, then it's reasonable for him to clock the driver as someone with reckless disregard for life, operating a deadly weapon.
It's always ambiguous whether we're talking about strict legalities or justifiability in some moral sense. I think it's difficult to bring the full weight of one's moral compass to bear within a split second.
-
That's what LEOs are trained to do. We expect them to make that judgement.
As I said, the shooting may be understandable but that doesn't make it legally correct. Do I think he should get 20 years? Hell no, but he violated procedure in a couple ways.
My fervent hope is that ICE will revisit the way their officers approach people like Good. The military shock and awe is not a good approach.

If you told me in the abstract that a person was driving amongst law enforcement officers in a deliberate effort to impede them, and eventually was told to stop the car and get out, and one officer was in front of the car at that moment, and the driver shifted into gear and accelerated such that the cop either jumps out of the way immediately or gets run over and maybe killed - then - I'd say that the driver's likely to get shot, if a cop is there at that exact moment to do so.
-
It seems obvious that people's judgments of this situation are colored by their attitude towards ICE immigration enforcement in general. This exact situation, except with street cops gathering for some purpose other than to enforce immigration law, would result in a fraction of the assuredness about how many moral and legal lines were crossed.
-
Cop have no right of self defense that you and I and the common man on the street don't have. Tell the story in the abstract but put the guy in a hoodie rather than tactical gear and take away his badge. DOn't leave out the part about two shots fired after the car had turned the corner.
Probably Trump and Bondi wouldn't have called the driver a domestic terrorist without an investigation. .

Ok, let's imagine a black guy with a legal firearm in a group of black guys, doing something in a professional capacity. Imagine a person who does not like what they do for a living, driving amongst them trying to bother them as they go about doing their job that day. What do you think, would your reaction be the same?
For extra credit, imagine if the person bothering them, was racist?
Probably Trump and Bondi wouldn't have called the driver a domestic terrorist without an investigation.
I'm sure we can all stipulate that the goalposts of the discussion can be shifted.
Education is extremely important.
