NY TIMES: "Our analysis of bystander footage, filmed from different angles, appears to show the agent was not in the path of the victim’s SUV when he fired three shots at close range."#ICE #Minniapolis #Minnesotapic.twitter.com/2D2yQX3f9l

That forensic analysis done by the NY Times sows that the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good was not hit. I know that has seemed obvious to many of us but CNN has been saying that he was. This proves otherwise. They need to correct their coverage.
The man was videoing the event just seconds before he pulled out his gun and started shooting. I you didn’t know better you’d think that he was livestreaming the murder. (He wasn’t — he didn’t have the phone up when he fired.) But what in the hell was this guy doing? Facial recognition? Making one of their music videos for Kristi?
Sadlyu, it doens’t seem that we’re going to find out any time soon since Kristi Noem, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi have refused to allow Minnesota to be involved in the investigation. Golly, I wonder why. Could it be because they’ve already decided what happened? That they want to provoke a violent reaction so they can invoke the insurrection act and start brutalizing and killing protesters? Yes, I’m afraid so.
The NY Times happened to be interviewing Trump when this came down. An excerpt:
The exchange was a glimpse into Mr. Trump’s reflexive defense of what has become a sometimes violent federal crackdown on immigration, which in this case claimed the life of an American citizen who was protesting ICE’s presence in Minneapolis.
On Thursday, after our interview with the president, a Times analysis of footage from three camera angles showed the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.
But on Wednesday night, Mr. Trump stuck to his position even as we pointed out the inconsistencies in his account and the lack of clarity in videos circulating on social media. We asked if, in his mind, firing into a vehicle like that was acceptable.
“She behaved horribly,” Mr. Trump said. “And then she ran him over. She didn’t try to run him over. She ran him over.”
We told the president that the early videos circulating online were unclear.
“I’ll play the tape for you
Mr. Trump’s aide Natalie Harp brought a laptop over to the Resolute Desk to show us what he said would be evidence of the woman’s wrongdoing.
Before the video began, Mr. Trump acknowledged the tragic nature of the shooting. “With all of it being said, no, I don’t like that happening,” he said, before pivoting to his common refrain of criticizing illegal immigration.
As a slow-motion surveillance video of the shooting played on the laptop, we told him that this angle did not appear to show that an ICE officer had been run over.
“Well,” Mr. Trump said. “I — the way I look at it … ”
“It’s a terrible scene,” Mr. Trump said at the end of the video. “I think it’s horrible to watch. No, I hate to see it.”
But did this fatal shooting mean his ICE operation had gone too far? Mr. Trump sidestepped the question, instead blaming his predecessor’s immigration policies.
They only showed him that one, grainy tape because they didn’t want him out there saying something that could be construed as criticism of the ICE agent. He was surprised to see that it wasn’t true. Of course he reflexively defended than but you can tell that he was surprised. (Ir’s reminiscent of that MS13 tattoo they photoshopped and told him it was real.)
I think it’s pretty clear that this has become one of the problems. Trump is stupid and he’s crazy. But he’s also undisciplined and unconventional and the people around him who have a bigger agenda can’t trust that he won’t go off script. They’re manipulating him. If they were decent people that might even be a good thing. But they’re not.
