Georgia Floyd?

The one thing nobody's mentioned about the officer-involved shooting in Minneapolis Wednesday is that yet again, we have a well-publicized case of political violence connected with sexual deviance.

A blood-covered woman who identified herself as the wife of Renee Nicole Good hysterically blamed herself for her partner’s killing at the hands of ICE agents, gut-wrenching footage shows.

The woman was filmed distraught and sobbing just steps from Good’s wrecked car in Minneapolis Wednesday morning, as a neighbor who heard the commotion asked her what happened.

“I made her come down here, it’s my fault,” the woman said through sobs. “They just shot my wife.”

“They shot her in the head. I have a 6-year-old in school,” she appeared to say.

. . . Just before the gunshots were heard, she was seen closely following federal agents and filming them.

She was also standing near the car when the shots rang out, and didn’t seem to notice that anything had happened until the vehicle sped away and crashed. She sprinted after the car soon after, while other photos from the scene showed her trying to help Good as she lay bleeding out in the driver’s seat.

Good had described herself as a “wife and mom” on social media.

On Monday, a 26-year-old man with a history of mental health problems insisted on being booked with a female name after trying to break into Vice President Vance's home:

William DeFoor, 26, was arrested by the U.S. Secret Service and Cincinnati police and charged with damaging government property, engaging in physical violence against any person or property in a restricted building or grounds, and assaulting, resisting or impeding federal officers.

FBI sources confirmed to Fox News that DeFoor demanded to be called "Julia," after he allegedly used a hammer to try to break into Vance’s Ohio home.

It is unclear if DeFoor identifies as transgender or nonbinary, but recent social media pages show up under the name Julia DeFoor.

Agents observed DeFoor running along the fence line of Vance's home around midnight, according to an affidavit. Officials said DeFoor ran up the driveway and attempted to break the driver's side window of an unmarked federal law enforcement vehicle blocking the entrance.

This follows the September 2025 assassination of Charlie Kirk, in which the alleged shooter had a trans male as a romantic partner, the August Minnesota Catholic school shooting by a trans male, and the freqeuent involvement of "furries", people who engage in sexual activity while wearing animal costumes, at anti-ICE protests. For now, we'll just note this and move back to the Minneapolis incident:

The woman who was killed was identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. After her death, Good’s mother insisted that her daughter was “not part of anything like that at all” when it came to the anti-ICE protests.

The witness account tells a very different story, one that places Good at the center of an organized effort to obstruct federal agents.

. . . According to the witness, ICE agents exited their vehicles and ordered Good to leave the area. The witness described Good actively maneuvering her vehicle during the confrontation.

“The ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in, like, he was, his midriff was on her bumper, and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” the witness said.

Of course, anyone who has watched the videos of the incident could see that Good attempted to run over the ICE agent. As for whether Good was even a part of the effort to impede ICE, the witness did not hesitate.

“Definitely, yeah,” the witness said. “That was her goal.”

The witness went further, explaining that Good was not a peripheral figure but the lead vehicle in the protest.

“They clearly wanted her out of there, um, because she was the main car leading the, um, the protest is my understanding,” the witness said. “I talked to another guy who was driving behind her.”

The witness continued, “She was very — she was very successful in blocking traffic. She was doing what she was, what she was set out to do, and so they wanted to get her the hell out of there.”

Since he ended his campaign for reelection as Minnesota governor days before the shooting, Gov Walz's public profile has been erratic. From ABC News,

The governor said he has issued a "warning order" to prepare the Minnesota National Guard, saying there are soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed "if necessary," while urging "peaceful resistance."

"I want Minnesotans to hear this from me: The desire to get out in the protest and to speak up to this administration of how wrong this is, that is a patriotic duty at this point in time, but it needs to be done safely," he said.

The Minneapolis mayor has been less restrained:

The Minneapolis mayor, however, at an impassioned news conference, said that he saw video of the incident and claimed the agent's actions were not self-defense.

"This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying -- getting killed," Mayor Jacob Frey said.

Frey said it does not appear the victim was driving her car toward the agent and using her car as a weapon. She was a U.S. citizen who was "an observer" and was "watching out for our immigrant neighbors," according to Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez.

Frey said his message to ICE is to "get the f--- out" of Minneapolis.

However, the ability of local policiticians to use county and state resources to investigate the shooting or prosecute the ICE agents is strictly limited:

The U.S. Attorney’s Office took the unusual step soon after the shooting of ousting the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension from the investigation into the killing.

The BCA typically investigates police shootings in the state, and was on the scene in south Minneapolis on Wednesday collecting evidence as part of a joint investigation with the FBI.

Then the U.S. Attorney’s Office “reversed course” and decided the investigation would be led solely by the FBI, said Drew Evans, BCA superintendent, in a statement.

. . . Gov. Tim Walz during a Thursday press conference expressed doubt about the results of any investigation conducted by the federal government because Minnesota officials have been purposefully excluded.

“Now that Minnesota has been taken out of the investigation, it feels very, very difficult that we will get a fair outcome,” Walz said. “People in positions of power have already passed judgment … and told you things that are verifiably false.”

. . . If the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office is able to complete a criminal investigation and file charges, they face another difficult task: convincing a federal judge that the ICE officer was not acting reasonably in carrying out his lawful federal duties.

If state charges are filed, the officer will likely ask to move his case to federal court to assert immunity under what’s known as the Supremacy Clause, which protects federal officials from state criminal prosecution if they are reasonably carrying out their duties. Attorneys with the Department of Justice may then assist with his defense.

Nevertheless, both Walz and Frey are pressing for state involvement in the investigation, presumably to have an exculpatory narrative included.

"People in positions of power have already passed judgment, from the president to the vice president to Kristi Noem — have stood and told you things that are verifiably false, verifiably inaccurate," the governor said.

Frey, the mayor, told The Associated Press: "We want to make sure that there is a check on this administration to ensure that this investigation is done for justice, not for the sake of a cover-up."

Elsewhere,

Progressive Democrats are threatening to leverage the end-of-January government funding deadline to push restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), escalating tensions within their party following the fatal shooting of a woman who struck an ICE agent with her car in Minneapolis.

. . . [A] growing faction within the party is linking the DHS appropriations process to immigration enforcement changes. “Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency,” remarked Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) in a post on X. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) also stated: “We can’t just keep authorizing money for these illegal killers. That’s what they are, this rogue force.”

But for the time being,

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), however, is showing little appetite for another shutdown fight even as liberal colleagues in the Senate and House and grassroots activists spoil for a new battle with the president.

I think there are several obstacles to mounting large-scale protests and riots over the Minnesota ICE shooting. For starters, there will be a major snowstorm in the upper Midwest this weekend, making demonstrations unlikely in Minneapolis, Chicago, or Milwaukee. In the Northeast and New England, there'll be wind and rain. Second, it's hard to make a lesbian a martyr. Good was driving a Honda Pilot, which markets in the $45-55,000 range, although she's been characterized as a "stay-at-home mom", which is to say she was affluent with luxury beliefs, not a member of the usual victim class.

I think this will be yet another issue that puts the Democrats on the wrong side of an 80-20 divide.
