Haley Strack: Renee Good Belonged to "ICE Watch" Group That Trained Activists to Interfere with Agents, Block Vehicles

   If you've watched much footage of the "activists"/rioters that swarm ICE and CBP, you know that their strategy is to do everything they can to impede agents--up to and sometimes beyond what is legal. They track them online, follow them, demonstrate loudly all night outside their hotels, block roads, blow whistles and honk horns, scream the vilest insults, throw chunks of ice and whatever else they think they can get away with, stick cameras in their faces, grab and shove and jostle them, etc. One point of this is to minimize the effectiveness of the raids--thus, with luck, saving the murderers, ped0s, rapists, and other miscreants and illegals targeted for arrest. A sub-goal is to put so much psychological pressure on the agents, and create such chaos, that they will make a mistake or lash out and do something stupid/illegal/violent...which will inevitably be caught by at least some of the dozens of rioters/"activists" recording the action--or one of their "green hat" "legal observers."

   The shooting of Ms. Good is exactly the kind of thing they were hoping for. I usually wouldn't make that sort of accusation...and this movement would be insane and repulsive even if this weren't true. But it's true.

   These people outright lie about everything--and they're lying about the shooting of Ms. Good, too. But, unfortunately, this is one of the few cases in which their overall conclusion might be right: the shooting may well have been unjustified. In fact, I'm now inclined to think it probably was...

   ...however: given the intentional creation of chaos by the rioters/"activists," their strategy of testing and repeatedly transgressing the boundaries of the law just shy of what they're likely to be arrested for...and the large number of vehicular assaults against agents...I think one can reasonably argue that the leftists have created an environment in which errors by agents are inevitably more common...and therefore are more excusable than they would ordinarily be.

   But, as I keep saying: this is really something we need to hear from use-of-force experts on.

   Laypeople like me are just bullshitting about something we barely understand at all.
