Killing Good

ICE fired,

killing  Good;

a chilling

killing,

as she was 

driving forward.

Claiming

self-defense,

denying

evidence,

the Feds

heads

nixed

investigation

with their

fixed

interpretation.

Those present

at the event

who saw 

the incident

witnessed

an agent

fire

not at a

tire,

but directly

at the face

of Good.

Minneapolis

is a city

well acquainted

with authority

killing citizenry

while assuming

immunity.

We thought

we got further

from George

Floyd’s murder

until mere 

blocks away,

where

the other day,

Good

became

the next

victim.

And then

in Oregon,

where Feds

were in

Portand,

agents

shot 

2 people

at a targeted

vehicle

stop.

Once again

a Fed 

lead

with a shot

and then

said

he did not:

he claimed

he’d

have been 

maimed

as he

maintained

they 

were a

serious threat.

They 

may

have survived

but we are

deprived

each time

ICE fires

and conspires

to legitimize

despite

witness eyes.

They are

trying

to terrorize

US.

Why does

an ICE

agent

seeking

an illegal

immigrant

need  to be

armed

like a militant?

It’s no accident

that this

government

sees 

customs

enforcement

as lethal.

It’s unethical, immoral

and 

criminal,

and unmistakable

that they

would

do anything;

even killing

GOOD.

  1. How does one make sense of this (and too many other) tragedies. My heart aches for this innocent woman. Your excellent piece says it all. They killed Good. It’s terrifying and horrible and unfathomable. I do not recognize my country.
