Crediting EW, Here: The Goon Greg Bovino Was Present, When ICE Shot And Killed Renee Good, An Unarmed Observer In Her Car -- In Minneapolis, Today. Dammit.


And very fairly, EmptyWheel asks whether Stephen Miller may be held responsible -- along with Kristi Noem and of course, Donald Trump. All of them are (at a minimum) not remotely-studiously enforcing the existing orders on de-escalation, and a sparing use of force, at protests -- if not outright ordering goons on the street, like Bovino. . . to affirmatively violate those orders and statutes.

Renee Good was, by all accounts, a very kind and gentle person. She did not own any guns. Here's EmptyWheel's concluding paragraph this evening -- as I know you all have seen the basic news reports from earlier in the day, in Minneapolis. Dammit.

. . .[I]n a TV appearance, Bovino said he took his instructions from the Executive Branch, whether Trump or Kristi Noem.

The implication is fairly clear: That Stephen Miller is the one instructing him on use of force.

Greg Bovino was present for today’s shooting.

In the wake of the shooting, Tricia McLaughlin, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, and Donald Trump all have told vicious lies about the shooting; their lies aren’t even consistent with each other, much less the video.

The shooting comes in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling that Trump can’t deploy the National Guard to cities unless he has first resorted to active duty troops.

It’s time to ask whether Stephen Miller ordered Greg Bovino to shoot those who document DHS’ invasions. . . .


Damn these monsters. Just. . . damn them. This may turn into a second George Floyd moment in the Twin Cities, now. Dammit. [And perhaps -- just perhaps -- as the commanding agent on the ground, Greg Bovino might see the Derek Chauvin outcome. That would be rough justice.]
