ICE Officer Declares Civilian SUV a 'Domestic Terrorist,' Experts Say He Just Sucks at His Job
The AP carefully dissects the January 2026 shooting of Renee Good by a federal officer, highlighting how witness videos contradict the official story that Ms. Good engaged in 'an act of domestic terrorism' by moving her SUV. Policing experts question the officer's 'dangerous decisions.' One might also question how a federal agency's standard operating procedure results in the masked, militarized
killing of a civilian for a trivial traffic maneuver, then immediately labels her a terrorist. This convenient descriptor usually justifies any subsequent state violence, whether in Minneapolis or Gaza. While law enforcement agencies across the U.S. continue to prioritize aggressive tactics over de-escalation, especially in encounters with marginalized communities, the narrative of 'self-defense'
remains a bulletproof vest for state actors. The 'threat' here, a woman in a Honda, seems less a terrorist and more a convenient excuse for unchecked aggression, a pattern distressingly familiar to anyone observing state power dynamics for the last few decades. When will the 'experts' question the system that fosters such 'decisions'?
