"Administration officials’ indifference to facts, to due process, to the dignity of the deceased, and to basic human decency is remarkable. They could have pleaded for patience and said the incident would be investigated—the standard response in such circumstances. They could have even done so while defending the federal agents they have deployed to terrorize areas they perceive as Democratic Party enclaves. Instead, they proceeded to make ostentatiously dishonest statements that they knew would be contradicted by the video evidence available to anyone with eyes to see it.

The federal government now speaks with the voice of the right-wing smear machine: partisan, dishonest, and devoted to vilifying Trump’s perceived enemies rather than informing the public. Good’s mother, partner, and children have to cope not only with their unfathomable loss, but with a campaign designed to justify her killing. Their own lives will be subject to invasive scrutiny by the government and its allies, in a search for any derogatory information about Good that might somehow be used to justify her killing. For some, that won’t even be necessary. “I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved,” the Republican lawmaker Randy Fine told the right-wing network Newsmax.

JFC. I saw this fat GOP fcuker on C-SPAN earlier this week. Does he know she leaves behind three children?

They could have pleaded for patience and said the incident would be investigated—the standard response in such circumstances.

I posted a link, this morning, about "border czar" Tom Homan getting squeamish about the right's rush to whitewash the incident, and pleading for people to let the investigation proceed.

But, Trump advocated shooting demonstrators, in his first term.

If you look at a longer version of the video, you see her wave ICE vehicles to go around her car. Hardly a hostile act. But the second ICE vehicle did not drive around. The two men dismounted, approached her car, and one started yanking on the door handle. We have all seen enough videos of ICE dragging women out of their cars, and tossing them in jail for a few days. If the guys had stayed in their truck, instead of making threatening moves...

Here's the longer version.
