If the workers of the world want to win, all they have to do is recognize their own solidarity. They have nothing to do but fold their arms and the world will stop. The workers are more powerful with their hands in their pockets than all the property of the capitalists. --Joe Ettor (IWW labor organizer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IASdERt3-m0

This is the best analysis of this murder, the manufactured crisis, the implications of this crime and the way the Regime is trying to use it to provoke and escalate violence, control and removal of MORE of our rights and freedoms.. As new information becomes available, or if better analysis is published, we will update in the comments.

Here is another article by W.A.Lawrence:
There has apparently been ANOTHER shooting by ICE... No info available yet but protesters on the scene peacefully protesting the police brutality. When the Federal government is the perpetrator of violence and crime, who is there to protect the innocent?

In an Orwellian twist, the Organized Network of Masked Domestic Terrorists funded by taxpayers are making lists of peaceful protesters who film their crimes so they can persecute the victims as "domestic terrorists"
and
Far Right propaganda defaming private citizen victims of their smear campaigns...
None of this is "normal" and just because we are fatigued from all the assaults, we can't normalize these abuses of power.

~~ recommended by newestbeginning ~~
This is a thoughtful discussion by Reverend Tisby about whether Church services should be disrupted to protest injustice. He asks if you see an injustice being committed or about to be committed, what lengths would you go to protect the victim? Would you break a law? Would you put yourself at risk?
He likens the protests in Minneapolis to the Civil Rights protests... I am listening to his podcast now and think that it might break you free from Plato's cave, NB

Where did the money Trump stole from the sale of Venezuelan oil go? Qatar. Same place that illegally bribed Trump with a $400 Million flying palace.

There is a mounting volume of good analysis and writing on this subject as the dust settles after the Renee Good murder. I will post more as I come across them in the comments. The problem with putting an article in the comments is the images don't show up. I include links because it is much more powerful to view the articles as they were written. Be well, NB

~~ recommended by newestbeginning ~~
The main takeaway for me from the NYT articles written following their long Trump interview was his stated sentiment that the only thing that can stop him is his own morality... Think about that... an amoral, brutally cruel, vindictive, sadistic and ignorant man holding all the power in the world is unchecked by... (nothing)... We have a runaway train - and this analysis sheds more insight into the guy who we are paying to lead the country. NB (italics are mine)

The Regime's war against America (and the world) - its pattern of violence, victim blaming and cover up of its violent crimes.
They denied medical care to Renee Good after they shot her. What was the point of that? To inflict more suffering?

~~ recommended by newestbeginning ~~
Much is being written about the tragedy of the murder of Mrs. Good and the obscene mischaracterizations of it, and victim blaming by the leaders of the regime, carried through and amplified by right wing pundits. The crimes being committed by the regime pile up daily and each crime that is not punished immediately normalizes the crimes and emboldens the next unthinkable act of violence, cruelty and theft of the world's richest in favor of the Kakistocracy.
I will post more as I see it in the comments.
