One officer told her to leave. She tried to leave and then was murdered for it. ---

are you referring to Good’s wife who repeated yelled at her to drive. ---

No, one agent told her to leave. ---

Is Good’s wife an officer? If not, then how could he possibly be referring to her? ---

And then there was an ICE agent in front of her vehicle. So it was difficult for her to leave, as she’d been ordered to do,” Callenson said. ---

This is always what irks me. In times of active war, military service members could not get away with acting like these buffoons. It was their duty to deescalate every situation, especially with unarmed civilians. ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > Otherwise you collectively are just wasting everyone else’s time. And to that point, how can we be certain that it was ICE ordering Good to get out of here and not the residents demanding ICE get out of their neighborhood? (Which even if it was ICE the usual suspects will assert it was not.) ---

She couldn’t have been going more than 2 mph at any point. Unless the ICE creep was using a walker, he could easily have gotten away. In any event, the gunshots coming from the side were clearly unnecessary and makes this a murder. It’s been disgusting how the right wing has played this up and made her into an evil caricature. ---

> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > The nonsense about having to make “split-second life or death” decisions is just their excuse for killing people “just in case”. I would agree that the split-second life or death line is overused and needs to be carefully examined. In the case of George Floyd, for example, it’s hard to see how 9 1/2 minutes can be called a split second. We need the police but, they need competent and independent oversight.
