Iirc:

The same officer who killed Renee Good stuck his hand in the window of a car driven by a convicted sex offender earlier this year, and refused to let go when the sex offender started driving away, attempting all sorts of nonlethal force like a taser, until the sex offender crashed.

There is some dispute over whether the officer was truly "stuck" or just held on in order to have greater charges against the convicted sex offender. What is indisputable, is that the officer never attempted to use his gun in that moment, while he did use it on Renee Good.

True, feel free to edit the meme before resharing!

Yessir 🫡

Although, eh, it's a meme. Any word used would be reductive. 🤷‍♂️

Oh noooooooo I'll make the switch in the future 🫡🫡

Fam the reasonable policy is to not stick you're hand inside of a vehicle or stand in front of a vehicle. The same idiot officer did both of those things, which is what this meme points out.

Right, yes, and compared to killing a soccer mom within seconds of two contradictory orders, that shows a lot of restraint lmfao

 

The hexalogy is complete.

 

The whole situation pisses me off.

 
 
 
 

I love that you're providing genuine answers to questions in this thread, it's always needed because the questions are often genuine, but coming from a place of very well-justified anguish or anger.

You’re following rules no one else does and only wanting to try if it’s guaranteed to succeed.

That's categorically an opposite of what "that said, it’s still worth going after the guy criminally. He deserves prison and the AG should give it a shot" means, right?

I said try even if it's not guaranteed. My contribution to our conversation was opining on the likelihood of success.

Throw his ass in jail for murder with no bail

I'd love this, and think it's unlikely.

He can beat the charges, but he’ll never get the months/years of his life back while awaiting trial

Make it so in the back of every ICE agent’s head there’s a constant reminder: “There could be consequences”.

Regardless of how we accomplish it, nothing gets fixed till that thought is always in their minds.

Yes to all of this!

I'm hopeful that a civil lawsuit would succeed, but I think the officer will escape criminal liability because federal courts get to determine scope of duty/egregiousness of conduct before state courts can touch federal officers.

That said, it's still worth going after the guy criminally. He deserves prison and the AG should give it a shot.
