As Sherrilyn Ifill notes, all of the lies we're now hearing from the Trump regime about how Renee Good earned her death by not obeying authority and threatening the ICE man who killed her (none of this happened) —"All of these arguments were deployed routinely in one form or another in the flurry of high-profile cases caught on video of police officers killing unarmed Black men from 2013-2020."

Whether It Is ICE or Local Police, the U.S. Has Normalised Anti-Democratic Law Enforcement Practices

"Whether in the case of George Floyd, who was murdered not far from where Ms. Good was killed, or Philando Castile, who was also killed in the Twin Cities while sitting in his car with his fiancée’ and her four-year-old daughter, or Samuel DuBose, who was killed in his car in Cincinnati after being approached by an officer and then shot at point blank range as he attempted to drive away."

"The officer said he was being 'dragged' when DuBose started to drive away. The video of the incident showed that the officer was not dragged, or Walter Scott who was pulled over in his car in North Charleston, South Carolina, and then shot five times in the back as he fled by Officer Michael Slager.

And there are others. Too many others."

"But the tactics used against Black communities can be transferred to other communities, often with slight modifications."
