The Death of Renee Good Has Yet to Be Properly Investigated / Six months after she and Alex Pretti were shot on the streets of Minneapolis, little has come of the probes into their killings.

I have rather a lot of faith in the Minnesotan investigators. Despite federal roadblocks, those in Minnesota are very good people. They really are. They did their very best to do the right thing from the very start, including releasing public records, by order of Governor Tim Walz, that proved federal officers unquestionably committed murder, despite orders direct from ICE to withhold said video footage. All records prove this. One way or another, this is gonna get worked out. Eventually.
But those federal motherfuckers are gonna do everything they can to make it as hard and as long and as painful as possible. Especially as long as Trumpfuck is in office.
And that is yet another crime to be adjudicated. And one day, hopefully soon, these people will answer for their fucking crimes.
The videos are out there. We all saw the murder happen. One day, eventually, justice will come for those motherfuckers.

Lol, imagine still having faith in the American justice system. Are you 12?
tabarnaski@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 28d
I think the problem right now is not the justice system because the case is still at the investigation phase, and there seems to be a lot of obstruction going on.

Fair enough. Unfortunately, I don't think much will come of it.

What else are you going to do?
Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 28d
Organize? I dunno, I would have left by now, probably. The fascism alarms have been blaring for more than a decade.

Crazy I see 915 and they wrote the post about having 1000 in a month. Must delete a lot

It's called rounding, lol.
Plus .world mods have a hard time with objective reality, so they remove comments for misinformation, despite them being verifiable fact, like MTG calling Gaza a genocide before AOC.

So leave which is similar to not voting... Great advice

Better off learning not to support a country that doesnt protect its people. U.s.a. is a joke
Dnb@lemmy.dbzer0.com · -1 pts · 28d
Yes, leave the country with the largest army to the corrupt and fascist party. I'm sure that would go well long term.
Not to mention it's not easy at all to leave
Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 27d
Yeah, would you leave Nazi Germany?

Yep. Shameful!

Was that only 6 months ago?!? Feels like it happened years ago…. Which is entirely the point of the ceaseless waves of wrongdoing by the fascists. It’s why the corruption isn’t hidden anymore, they know people are too fatigued from all the crap to do anything about it. And if it isn’t stopped then there must not be anything wrong with it. God help this poor planet cause we sure as shit aren’t going to.

They know. They keep saying if they lose the midterms they'll be punished for their crimes.
These are on the list.
Make sure they lose the midterms. We're all counting on you.

Trump lost in 2020 and nothing happened to him.

Literally started an insurrection and nothing fucking happened to him.

Yeah, methinks they haven't rigged it as bad as they want everyone to believe. Elsewise why would they already be panicking?

I mean, everyone saw that they were straight up just executed. Sounds like a open and shut case

Why would the Nazi government do a proper investigation?
Mediocre_Bard_Redeux@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 28d
What's there to investigate? You can go watch them get murdered right now. It isn't exactly a who-dunnit. Getting charges, on the other hand, is another kettle of wax to keep in the hand.
NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml · 13 pts · 28d
if it's ever properly investigated it won't be until the next administration. -That's a big "If." Fortunately there's no statute of limitations on murder.
reddit_sux@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 27d
That's a dream, no administration ever investigates their own. The leaders might be suspended, the structure will remain, the lower ones might be removed or transferred to different departments.
Next administration be it Democrat or Republican won't do anything.

There is a push for state investigations and criminal charges for ICE agent Johnathan Ross, 43, but Federal Authorities are fighting it
SabinStargem@lemmy.today · 11 pts · 28d
The Trump Regime as a whole is guilty for the murders of Pretti-Good. Hopefully we will see the whole lot of them do a jig, on a rope.
billwashere@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 28d
Nobody in normal law enforcement is ever held accountable, so why would these brown shirts.
The whole lot of ICE should be blacklisted for every job ever… well except maybe as a day laborer on a farm somewhere where some Hispanic guy is his supervisor.

It's tough to come to a conclusion when your paycheck depends on you NOT coming to a conclusion.

Revolting

Yes, they are revolting...

I've seen what happened. They were shot. By ICE.

I posted this about the Supremacy Clause (federal vs state jurisdiction) when this happened https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Lk6tOvIu4qw. Investigation is different than prosecution though.

Honestly it seems like investigating it now would be wasteful.
it's just harder to reinvestigate when the government won't move heaven and earth to protect (and pardon) the perpetrators.
Better to wait for a less corrupt legal infrastructure in a few years (or even after midterms).
