"Right after Border Patrol agents shot and injured two people in East Portland earlier this month, protests at Portland's ICE facility ramped up. The Portland shooting happened one day after ICE agents shot and killed Renée Good in Minnesota. During those protests, a Portland Police officer was filmed punching a protester in the head after they appeared to be restrained on the ground."
"The next day, another officer was recorded giving his unsavory take on Good's death, shrugging it off. "Sometimes criminals get shot," he told a protester who recorded him, acknowledging he too would've shot the 37-year-old mother if she drove a car at him (video from the shooting in Minnesota suggests Good was just trying to leave and wasn't trying to aim her car at the agent who placed himself in front of her headlight.)"
Border Patrol agents shot and injured two people in East Portland earlier this month, prompting intensified protests at Portland's ICE facility. The Portland shooting occurred one day after ICE agents shot and killed Renée Good in Minnesota. During protests a Portland Police officer was filmed punching a protester who appeared restrained, and another officer later shrugged off Good's death, saying "Sometimes criminals get shot" and admitting he would have shot her. Video from Minnesota suggests Good was trying to leave rather than aiming her car. Officers policing the protests lacked displayed names, were later identified, and appear to be related. Freezing temperatures extended warming center hours through Sunday with several shelters listed and expected lows in the mid-20s before warming on Monday.
