I am too.

My point was that had the White House responded immediately with respect and condolences for Ms. Good, and a neutral tone about the investigation, and a promise to punish the ICE officer if he were found guilty of any wrongdoing... How many people here would still be arguing that the ICE...

I think the situation this egregious required a statement from the White House. I don't think saying nothing at all was an option.

Hi Tricia, Since you're here, might you be willing to talk about why, paraphrasing Fraize's words, freezing reactions might tone down the conversation? As I said in my above post, I use them simply as shorthand for "I agree" with this post. If there's an "I disagree" reaction, I'm not even...

A thought experiment. How would things have gone had the Administration come out immediately and said 1. They are sending thoughts and prayers to Ms. Good's family and they are sorry for her loss. 2. They agree that the video looks bad for Mr. Ross, but 3. They will await the official...

Thank you from me too.

And if the gun went off because he was jolted, yet was able to shoot through the windshield, that means he had the gun drawn and pointed in that direction.

JMO. It's like some grim variant of the Rorschach test. Either you watch the video and believe your own eyes, or you watch the video and believe Trump and Noem saying that she ran over the ICE officer and he's recovering in the hospital.

Another thought. How was Ms. Good supposed to know the people surrounding her vehicle were "LE"? None of them identified themselves as such or displayed a badge as far as I can see. If I saw some masked guy running toward me and yelling for me to get the eff out of my car, I too would attempt...

Snipped for focus I don't even see any protesters.

Thoughts. 1. Ms. Good was not blocking the street. As many others have pointed out, several cars went around her vehicle. And the video clearly shows that the silver pickup that the ICE officers emerged from had plenty of room to do the same. 2. Even if she had been blocking traffic on the...
