🚨 HOLY SMOKES: New video shows ICE agents smashing the window of a protester’s vehicle and forcibly pulling him out in Minneapolis and he was immediately detained.
Protesters in the area are furious, and tensions are exploding.

A few more things. There is no reason to think that Good acted with bad intentions (unlike Babbit), and AFAIK the cop in the Babbit case didn’t say “fucking bitch” immediately after he shot her.
Totally dissimilar situations. Babbit was unquestionably engaged in illegal conduct, and in fact had been engaged in illegal conduct for an extended period of time (otherwise she wdn’t have been there.

So if you think that Babbit’s shooting was unjustified but not Good’s, you need to explain why that’s the one aspect of the Babbit situation you don’t think is comparable to Good’s.
@RAVerBruggen They should be considered separately b/c by the time of the last one (or the last two?) Ross was not even arguably in danger, and if nothing else, that’s relevant to his state of mind.

Woody Guthrie is turning over in his grave.

@TolerUpdike@TheGNapp As I assume you’re aware from my email from a few weeks back, I think there are significant questions about the corpus aspects of your analysis—questions that are unrelated to the dating issue you’ve referred to as holding you up.
