Her name was Renee Nicole Macklin Good. She is, or rather, was the 37-year-old woman, the 37-year-old American citizen who ICE killed yesterday in Minneapolis.

0:10.0

She described herself as a poet, a writer, a wife, a mom, and she's being remembered by members of her community as a kind, compassionate, and giving person.

0:18.0

But also, since her death, she's been called a professional agitator,

0:21.1

a deranged leftist, and a domestic terrorist. And now there's a talk of war between Minnesota and the federal government. So among other things, we've got to talk about what actually happened, the fallout and the patterns that we can find and the violence has been taking place and the claims being made to justify it. Where to start it with what actually went down, we've seen multiple videos from different angles, but the main one is this one. You see an agent approach Renee's

0:39.8

SUV. He tries to open the door. Where to start it with what actually went down, we've seen multiple videos from different angles, but the main one is this one.

0:38.5

You see an agent approach Renee's SUV. He tries to open the door. She backs away. Another officer moves in front of the vehicle. She pulls forward to the right. And then that officer fires three rounds that are, including at least twice when many say that it looks like he is clearly outside of the path of the vehicle. The SUV then continues a short way down the street, veering to the left and crashes into a par car.

0:57.5

And it was about

0:58.0

10 seconds from the moment that the agents exited the truck to shots being fired. The agent who

1:02.4

fired the shots appears to be seen in videos walking around afterwards with no apparent injuries.

1:06.8

And this is you had people starting to scream things like,

1:09.2

You are fucking criminals! You're fucking criminals!

1:13.6

And you had one woman with blood covering her face,

1:19.6

reportedly being heard shouting,

1:20.6

You guys just killed my wife.

1:22.6

Also, you saw things like when authorities eventually left the scene,

1:25.6

you had people yelling and throwing snowballs, agents hitting back with pepper spray and pepper balls. Also last night, thousands gathered at a vigil for the victim and to protest ice. Right in that is there have also been protests in other U.S. cities, including New York and Los Angeles. And actually in Minneapolis today, there have been more clashes between protesters and federal agents with school even being canceled in the city for the rest of the week.

1:44.7

And Governor Tim Walls announced that he was issuing a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard.

1:49.3

Warning protesters to stay peaceful and to not take debate, arguing that the Trump administration was just looking for an excuse to deploy the military.

1:56.1

And he also seemed to compare the current mood and the potentiality of what's going to happen to what happened after George Floyd was murdered. Because he was actually killed about a mile from where Renee was killed yesterday. We saw it after the murder of George Floyd. There's folks that want to cause chaos. There's the disruptors in him. And the vast majority of those protests were peaceful expressions, their First Amendment rights. There were those that destroyed property and put people at risk. The National Guard is there to make sure that peaceful protests are able to

2:21.3

be done and that those that want to do the destruction are stopped from doing that.

2:26.5

Right. And then, notably in his address, he spoke out against federal interference,

2:30.0

saying these National Guard troops are our National Guard troops and also repeating a point that he made the day before. Well, I said this yesterday. We've never been at war with our federal government. And of course, he had the White House jumping on that to claim that Walls declared Minnesota is at war against the federal government, calling him sick and a dangerous lunatic, possibly insinuating that he intended to pit those troops against federal immigration agents. I mean, you have at least one Republican lawmaker even calling on Trump to arrest Walls over the National Guard announcement. And well, for many, they see this as Walls just talking about using their National Guard to keep a handle on potential protests. I will say it is true that he and other officials are pushing back hard against the Trump administration's version of events. With Walls urging the public not to believe what he called a propaganda machine and saying that the shooting was both totally predictable and totally avoidable. You also had the Minneapolis Police Chief noting that there was nothing to indicate that this woman was the target of any law enforcement investigation. And you had Mayor Jacob Frey calling the government's account of Renee's death, bullshit, garbage, and saying to ICE. Get the fuck out of Minneapolis. But then with all that, we've got to unpack exactly what the Trump administration has said. Right, as far as Trump himself, you had him sharing a different clip online where very little can be seen and saying that Renee was obviously a professional agitator and that she violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE officer. Also saying in an interview with the New York Times, she didn't try to run him over, she ran him over. With him even reportedly having an aide pulled the video up on a laptop in an effort to prove his point. You then also had Vice President J.D. Vans presenting it as just a matter of fact that Renee at least tried to run the agent over, which is also not clear from the video. Writing, do you think this officer was wrong in defending his life against a deranged leftist who tried to run him over?
