ICE agents are living in fear as the public turns against them in record numbers after one of their colleagues shot a mom dead in the street.
The killing of unarmed Renee Nicole Good, 37, has sparked international outrage. She was blasted three times in her car by federal agent Jonathan Ross during an immigration protest in a residential part of Minneapolis on Jan. 7.
Goods killing has heightened tensions nationwidebut particularly in Minnesota. An ICE agent told the Daily Beast drivers were increasingly making a gun sign with their hands as they pass by ICE patrols in the street.
Agents fear the public revulsion towards the heavy-handed approach of ICE under President Donald Trump, and the administrations efforts to cover its own tracks as it did in the wake of Goods shooting, is already causing problems securing criminal convictions. One former agent told the Daily Beast that he and his colleagues fear it has already become more common for juries not to believe evidence they are presenting to the court.

(129,215 posts)I don't condone attacking them, but WTF did they expect? To have their paths strewn with rose petals? I hope a lot of them start quitting - even if they think it's OK to behave like lawless goons, maybe fear for their own sorry asses might motivate them to find another line of work, like prison guard, where they can abuse people in relative safety. Live by the sword, die by the sword, I guess.

There was a caller to John Fugelsang, a few months ago now, but it was a woman who had been married to a guy who became an ICE agent. She talked about how he changed, for the worse, becoming more violent and misogynistic until she had to leave him, because he wasn't the guy she married and she feared for her safety.

(11,114 posts)they will fight back. In fact the Country was founded because of the bullying and the armed invasion of Massachusetts by the soldiers of the British Crown.
Also people see their local police around the streets of their hometowns. They know that they are not masked and wear badges to identify and body cameras. The anonymous ICE Agents and their masks are fundamentally at odds with American freedom.

(40,694 posts)WTF? This crap just makes their jobs harder, especially if the public knows the local police support this shit. Why would they make a statement about it?
Reading social media comments, it feels like we're in a civil war, already.

(12,398 posts)That's why they're running around asking victims:
Haven't you people learned a lesson? That's why we killed that fucking lesbian bitch.
These agents are disgusting. Instead of backing off, they're following Agent Orange's example: doubling down. deliberately provoking the public with words and actions.
I watched a half dozen video clips yesterday from agents breaking down doors with no warrant, to dragging people from their cars then beating them into unconsciousness, to Bovino pulling a PR stunt at a Target restroom, to listening to a female Marine vet who was pulled from her car by the neck, abused, harassed, hands handcuffed so tightly it took six agents to remove the restraints. Before the incident ended, she said one of the agents twisted her foot nearly backwards. She said "He was trying to break my ankle." After she screamed he said, "Bet you enjoy that bitch, yeah?"
These agents are sadists. They enjoy inflicting pain, physically and emotionally.
Never forget, never forgive!
