Corporate Media’s 7 Most Brazenly Fake Claims About The Anti-ICE Car-Ramming
Elle Purnell


If you’ve only paid attention to the legacy media over the past few days, you probably know more about Renee Good’s poetry than you do about the actions that led to her tragic death last Wednesday. After refusing federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers’ commands to get out of her car, which she had used to impede agents’ access to a neighborhood road, Good was caught on video accelerating her SUV toward one agent with another hanging on her door. The agent in front of her vehicle fatally shot her as the car appeared to hit him.

The corporate press, with help from the Democrats to whom they run for comment, portrayed Good as a victim of spontaneous violence, a “woman [who] drops her kid off at school, not involved in protest activity or anything, [but] seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.” The more details emerged, the fewer of those claims turned out to be true.

1. Good Was Just Driving ‘Past’ Agents

A narrative quickly formed insisting that Good’s vehicle wasn’t pointed at the ICE agents at all but was directed away from them.

Someone at Axios Twin Cities approved a headline on Wednesday that said “ICE shoots, kills person in Minneapolis in vehicle that drove past agents.” The story’s lede was even worse: it claimed the ICE agent “shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was in a vehicle that drove close to federal agents” (emphasis added).

In similar fashion, The Washington Post ran a headline at the top of its online front page Thursday morning that claimed the agent “was not in the vehicle’s path” when he fired his handgun. After criticism, the Post changed the headline to say the agent “fired at driver as vehicle veered past him,” without a correction notice. (The same article frames Good’s acceleration toward the agent as navigating “in the correct direction of traffic on the one-way street.”)

But regardless of whether Good intended to hit the officer, it’s obvious from video footage that from the officer’s visual perspective, her car was aimed directly at him. Multiple videos appear to show her vehicle actually hitting him — which would make the Post’s claim that he was “not in the vehicle’s path” something of an impossibility.

Corporate media has long been public enemy #1 in my book. This isn't anything new.

Many of the people involved in law enforcement shootings failed to comply with the officers' instructions.

I have no sympathy for perps who do not comply with law enforcement.

Compliance de-escalates and is for the safety of all involved.

Non-compliance is an escalation.

You'll get your day in court to argue your case before a judge later.

The confrontation was the first escalation, non-compliance was the second escalation, and putting the car in drive was the third escalation.

If was me, I would have had two vehicles block in the SUV in front and behind, proceeded to slash all tires, smash all windows, pull the driver out by her hair, impound the vehicle as evidence, and make the driver pay for the tow.  But, hey, that's just me.  I grew up surrounded by old-school Irish city cops who didn't $h!t from anybody.
