Extremely good discussion of the Renee Good shooting from the POV of a conservative former DOJ prosecutor.
This is a crucible moment. If this killing is allowed to pass, not because it has been fully investigated & found justified, but because it has been waved away, it will be a grave injustice to Good but also the nation.

Filming ICE committing crimes is apparently impeding their ability to commit crimes with impunity, so now they can arrest you for that. Using your 1st amendment rights and the video camera in your phone is now a crime.
And the whistles really seem to piss them off.
