DAILY SIGNAL: Tale of the Twin Cities: George Floyd vs. ICE-Involved Shooting
It took less than 48 hours for protesters to begin burning the city of Minneapolis after the killing of George Floyd in May 2020. Law enforcement struggled to control protests as demonstrators set a local police station on fire, looted businesses, and left parts of the city covered in graffiti.
Five-and-a-half years later, Americans wonder if history will repeat itself after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good on Wednesday.
Good, a 37-year-old woman, was an “immigration activist,” according to Fox News, and allegedly was at the scene of ICE operations in Minneapolis on Wednesday in an effort to disrupt ICE activity. When Good was ordered out of her vehicle, a video appears to show Good driving her vehicle toward an ICE agent, who discharged his weapon into Good’s car, killing her.
Protests quickly broke out in Minneapolis following the news of Good’s death, but, at least so far, demonstrations are far from the level of violence and destruction seen in the aftermath of Floyd’s death.
The same Democrat mayor, Jacob Frey, is in power in Minneapolis, and law enforcement were involved in Floyd’s death as they were in Good’s. So, what is different now?
Arguably themost significant difference isthe presence ofsignificantnumbers of federal law enforcement on the ground at the time of the incident, andperhaps some“protester fatigue” on the part of the radical left.
On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,”Daily Caller reporter Ashley Brasfield joins the show aswe discuss the events that led to the ICE involved shooting in Minneapolis and why protestshave not escalated to the level of violence seen in 2020.
