The “Portland ice shooting” topic is trending due to a significant incident involving federal agents in Portland, where two people were reportedly shot. This event has garnered substantial media attention, sparking increased public interest and concern regarding the actions of federal agents and law enforcement in urban settings.
The high volume of searches, exceeding 100K, is likely driven by the connections between this shooting in Portland and recent protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that are taking place nationwide. As seen in the news updates, these incidents are part of a broader pattern, with the Portland shooting occurring alongside tensions in Minneapolis, where similar events have ignited protests and calls for accountability.
Additionally, ongoing live coverage and updates from major news outlets such as NBC News and CBS News have contributed to the surge in public interest. The combination of shocking visuals from the scene and the potential implications for federal law enforcement policies has prompted individuals to seek more information on the situation as it develops. This collective attention from various cities experiencing unrest further amplifies the search interest for the specific term “Portland ice shooting.”

[Best video I’ve found of the events leading up to the shooting.](https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/watch-new-footage-sheds-light-on-renee-good-shooting-and-reveals-passenger-leaving-vehicle/) CNN says there is a full 4 minutes of video, I’d like to see the whole thing. I think a lot of poor decisions were made that day by involved. And I think we need to recognize that before any substantive discussion can begin.

How many of you _actually_ care? I’ve seen so much perceived stupidity. “she was trying to run him over” just really badly apparently because she didn’t. “he was scared” but she couldn’t be. The excuses go on and on, and it just got me thinking. I believe most people on the right commenting don’t really care if it was justified or not. They just don’t want the “left” to win, whatever that means. So, do you even care?

>I believe most people on the right commenting don’t really care if it was justified or not As opposed to [the people on the left](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskConservatives/s/W4pdaJ8YbA)?
B
That’s not the revelation of most surprise, though. The left not caring about ICE is part for the course. My question is focused on if the right cares about the federal government killing citizens Edit: changed least to most surprise, for the silly phrase I made up
A
The right not caring about the people who are killing ICE officers is par for the course. My question was focused on if the left cares about the leftists killing ICE officers, or at least about if the shooting was justified (and the post I linked answers that no, they don’t care if it was justified or not).
I
Honestly I think this whole incident is shaping up to be the lefts “Charlie Kirk” moment. Especially with the hyperbolic language the Trump administration is using calling the deceased a “domestic terrorist” before the body was cold
Z
In the non-trivial version of your hypothetical when they’re really in danger, not only can they, they really do. And the courts frequently allow it. You can not like it. But your disapproval doesn’t change reality.
Y
But how could he have been “really in danger” if he successfully shot her, but her car’s path did not change and it still didn’t hit him? For this to have been true, the shot that he would argue defended him, actually changed the action of the car thus saving his life. Do you mean he incorrectly believed he was in danger?

Not seeing the question directly asked. Conservatives, do you think this shooting was self defense or not?
D
Why do untrained civilians need to be level headed and make the best decision in a stressful situation but federal agents and police get a pass for being cowards? Renee Good was getting conflicting orders shouted at her and the people around her vehicle were able to EASILY get out of the way, and soldiers in war are able to have more restraint with a suicide bomber than these ICE agents have with a single mother

[Is this appropriate behavior from ICE](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qiuMxlTXpps)
J
It appears to be ice officers detaining two people, who then decide they don’t have to comply with a lawful order from a federal law enforcement officer. It’s a clip so we don’t know why they are detained, but the two individuals are violating the law so yes this is appropriate behavior from ICE When you’re given a lawful order from a law enforcement officer you should comply. This doesn’t matter if you’re a conspiracy theory wielding conservative, or a far left activist. Follow the god damn law
Y
What lawful order did they not comply with?
D
Like ashley babbitt?
J
Yes. She was a lunatic who didn’t comply with lawful orders. You realize that most conservatives have no problem calling this out. Conservatives and liberals should comply with law enforcement officers. Sorry your gotcha moment fell flat
D
Glad you agree. I don’t see your take often enough
D
>You realize that most conservatives have no problem calling this out. Tbh that’s news to me. Almost every time I have heard a conservstive (ESPECIALLY online) they have defended her or said that she was unjustly shot
M
>most cons I see a large amount of them in these ICE discussions defending her. And in the babbitt thread from a few weeks ago. And in the J6 thread from a few days ago.
M
>lawful order People are allowed to record police stops. Courts consistently rule on that.
J
They’re wrong about telling them they can’t record (albeit their might be some nuances for ice, but I don’t know these so I’ll ignore that point) But they also specifically told the individuals that they are detained, as to which the individuals then proceed to argue that “no they are not detained” The officers can be idiots, and the person in the car can both be committing crimes
M
>not detained That seems irrelevant to the recording aspect given that again, people can record stops per several court cases
J
I’m not arguing the recording aspect You linked a video The video shows ICE officers being wrong about the law, and two individuals commiting a crime Both can be true
S
So the ice officers should just be able to ignore rights and laws? Do you think you’d be defending masked federal agents in the streets? How does this fit into conservative ideology?
J
So turns out she was actually in some anti ice activist group, and her and her wife specifically went there it harass ICE and were looking for trouble. Sad that a woman died, but the radical behavior brought on the sequence of events
S
Do you think this his hypocritical considering Kyle Rittenhouse crossed state line with a firearm to harass protesters? Why do you consider free speech and right to assembly as radical behavior?
J
Is blocking a road with your car free speech and right to assembly? What about accelerating a car towards a human?
S
Good news conservatives. Have pushed to make it legal. https://www.vox.com/2021/4/25/22367019/gop-laws-oklahoma-iowa-florida-floyd-blm-protests-police Thoughts on Republicans trying to legalize hitting people with cars?
J
I know you’re on reddit and all but at least read the article before linking it Under the new law, an Oklahoma driver will no longer be liable for striking — or even killing — a person if the driver is “fleeing from a riot … under a reasonable belief that fleeing was necessary to protect the motor vehicle operator from serious injury or death.”
S
Just so I get this straight you are okay with people hitting someone with their car if they feel their life is at risk?
J
100% Just like I’m okay with the this ICE officer shooting this woman because he felt his health or life was at risk
S
So women should be able to terminate a fetus at any point if they feel like they are at risk?
J
I’m pro choice Thanks
S
Do you think unidentified masked agents with guns is sufficient threatening to life?
D
Do you have a source for this? I’ve seen both her ex-husband and witness accounts that she may have been dropping a child off prior to the incident, (the same child that was later turned over to her out of state father). A new angle has emerged that supports the idea that her vehicle became stuck in the snow and from other video evidence we have seen, she is attempting to wave through the ICE vehicles before the agents approach her vehicle.
J
There’s two sources I posted in here The new video from CNN also shows her pulling up, her wife getting out and filming it. And obviously there’s video showing that her car very very obviously isn’t stuck in the snow
D
So knowing her vehicle isn’t stuck, why would the agent needlessly come across the front of the vehicle after already having two agents attempting to open her drivers door? https://x.com/sanderregter/status/2009626162302202108?s=46 And could the argument be made that seeing as she was already engaged with the 2 agents attempting to open her door that she couldn’t have been aware of a third agent crossing in front of her vehicle?
J
What’s more radical? Showing up to monitor a situation where people in your neighborhood are at risk being wrongly detained or shooing a woman in the face because she didn’t listen to you. This dude was not run over, as per clear video graphic footage where he is walking away. Facts don’t lie, but people do to fit their narrative.
T
Who cares? She didn’t deserve to be shot in the fucking face.
P
that’s not how this works. its not about what she disserved.
Y
So what was the specific action she took to warrant the shooting?
D
Who gives a shit if she was an activist? An ICE agent just murdered her for the crime of making a wrong turn and having multiple conflicting orders shouted at her and every agent around the car was able to easily and safely get out of the way and be perfectly safe, which we know because we saw it from a dozen angles
N
Lool “radical” behavior. Dude she was parked on the street…. and assuming what you say is true… intentionally. Got approached by some ICE officers. Probably realized shit was getting real and panicked… tried to leave. Dipshit ICE ERO was standing in front of the car (probably a policy violation creating his own exigence) and pulled his gun/got the slightest bump and blasted some suburban mom. Dude was apparently drug around before… why you hanging around the front of cars? At worst this was fleeing arrest and obstruction on her part…. maybe not a good shoot on his. I dont think its beyond reason to say the agent panicked too… now someone is dead. Bad situation all around. Yall do nothing for your cause of convincing anyone to your side by mischaracterizing an act of civil disobedience that went wrong.. as “radical” behavior… or worse… actual elected leaders calling her a domestic terrorist. I am sorry…. I didnt realize they gunned down Timothy McVeigh lmao. Just stop. No one’s buying it… besides the people who would accept anything Trump or the administration does anyway.
M
>to harass ice and looking for trouble She did not say that that’s inaccurate.
J
I wasn’t quoting anyone?
M
My mistake I misread. But that’s still inaccurate into why she was there. There is zero evidence she was there to harass ICE or look for trouble before they assassinated her.
P
like scroll down and read the sources. she was their to obstruct ICE operations. obstructing law enforcement is text-book looking for trouble and she wasn’t assassinated, words mean things, she was killed. possibly murdered.
L
Would you be able to provide one of those sources?
