> [@Sylvanz](#): > > Why is he carrying a cell phone and recording? The United States government, among others (looking at you NYPD), has a history of documenting the identity of antigovernment protesters. You can watch his video and see him specifically take video of Good and Good’s license plate. At 00:15 in [this video](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz7yv4524gqo). ---

Something That, too, is unlikely. The murder was a momentary reaction. It wasn’t planned. He didn’t record the event knowing he was about to shoot someone. ---

New video posted by DHS (meaning you know it’s in an effort to make Renee Good look bad) which shows the three minutes before the shooting. In short, she’s seen blocking traffic and being a general thorn in ICE side, although I still don’t believe it warranted a death sentence. ---

Is that the video going around that was supposedly shot from a drone that just happened to be at that very spot? ---

Don’t see that that new vid shows much of anything new. Other than that there obviously was no ICE vehicle stuck in the snow. Wasn’t that an original story? ---

Has it been established what ICE was doing in the neighborhood in the first place? I have not seen this. ---

based on the recent video mentioned above it looks like a house in the neighborhood was being raided. It also appears that Renee Good was honking during the raid to alert neighbors which is probably why the street was being recorded in that video. ---

Thanks for the post and link (for real), and this is good, but the headline is misleading. Replace “Congress” with “Some in Congress.” It’s unlikely any of the proposals will happen.
