The woman shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday was Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a 37-year-old mother of three who had recently moved to Minnesota.

She was a U.S. citizen born in Colorado and appears to never have been charged with anything involving law enforcement beyond a traffic ticket.

In social media accounts, Macklin Good described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom.” She said she was currently “experiencing Minneapolis,” displaying a pride flag emoji on her Instagram account. A profile picture posted to Pinterest shows her smiling and holding a young child against her cheek, along with posts about tattoos, hairstyles and home decorating.

    No the issue is, NO ONE CARES UNTIL THE VICTIM IS WHITE. If ppl actually gave a damn that minority ppl have been unjustly killed (EXACTLY LIKE THIS) since the dawn of this country then Trump would’ve never been elected.

    You’re not on our side if you only show up when it affects you. You literally did skip all the rest. If you didnt skip it there wouldnt be a Wikipedia article completely devoted to law enforcement shooting unarmed black ppl. If you didnt, qualified immunity wouldn’t exist. If you didnt most cops would be charged let alone convicted. What exactly has changed since George Floyd?

    I guarantee you the vast majority of black and brown households are all thinking/saying the exact same thing. Well she’s white so maybe something will actually happen.
