The Fatal Choice Wasn't the Officer's — It Was Renee Good's Decision to Ram ICE

People like Aaron Rupar (the man who has a whole Urban Dictionary definition of his last name that means 'lying') and Tim Miller (of Bulwark who purports to be a conservative publication but hires dudes who wear pearls) can't shut up about all the ways the ICE officer who shot the woman driving a car at him should have behaved differently. Of course, it's easy to armchair quarterback that whole scenario when you are sitting behind a keyboard without a car coming towards you. 

They are just full of suggestions for the ICE officer. Maybe he can keep those in his back pocket for the next time a car tries to mow him down. 

First Tim suggests a Honda Pilot coming towards you slowly isn't a problem. Awfully brave of him. A stunt man, an actual brave guy who has been in the circumstances quickly explained away this theory. 

Clearly, the ICE agent should have just handed the woman a warning card or something.

Then, there is Rupar claiming he has removed his whole family from the state because of the danger ICE poses.

First of all, ICE agents are hired by the United States of America to faithfully execute American laws. They are tasked with removing people who are in the United States illegally. They are doing their jobs. People don't get to come to America illegally and hang out just because they like it here better than their own country. That's against the law. No matter how much the Left shrieks about 'civil offense', it's still breaking the law and ICE has every right to arrest them. That's the whole point of them. 

Renee Good or anyone else doesn't have the right to unilaterally decide American law doesn't apply because she thinks illegals are groovy people. If I am driving down the road and see my friend getting arrested for driving with a suspended driver's license, for example, I can't jump in and try to ram a cop with my car so he can get away. I can't scream about how hard his life has been and how hard he works and how he is poor and didn't have the money to pay those speeding tickets and that's why his license was suspended. I can't decide my friend is actually a REALLY great driver, better than all the other drivers in Florida, so he should be allowed to break the law and drive anyway because he's a stand up fellow. As good as my friend may be, he broke a law, an agency with the authority to arrest him did so, and I don't get to go rogue and bust him out. 

So, out of all the things people could have done differently the day Renee Good died, it was on her to do something much different. She should have dropped her son at school and then not interfered with the ICE agents doing their jobs. She was welcome to hate ICE agents and even volunteer for an agency that helps people get their citizenship if she really cared, but she had no right to keep law enforcement from doing their jobs. That was her fatal error. It's sad for her children. Terribly sad, but that doesn't make it the fault of law enforcement.
