The ICE officer who killed a Minnesota woman is a war veteran who spent over a decade working for DHS

I think it is important to not immediately demonize or convict someone before knowing anything about him.

No, he is not an untrained “proud boy” who was hired a few months ago. He is former military, a veteran, and chose law enforcement as his career. That is a respectable career path. He is a husband, and a father, and lives locally.

I’m sure we will learn more, but I hoping people leave his wife and kids alone.

Jonathan Ross's address is about 30 minutes from where the killing took place. News says neighbors saw trucks in front of his house and boxes being hurried out.

@ElwoodBlues Makes you proud, does it not?

@ElwoodBlues feds trying to shield him and his family, and neighbors, from harassment

@ElwoodBlues And the Trump sign, and "Don't Tread on Me" on his lawn, were no longer there.

@trollslayer From the latest video, apparently shot with Jonathan Ross's own cell phone, it's clear that he had his gun in one hand and was shooting video with his phone in his other hand. Clearly not 100% attentive to the job at hand.

Of course his family doesn't deserve to suffer for his crime. Presumably they left the house before the box collectors came. Another irony; this killing happened about a mile from the location of the George Floyd killing.

@ElwoodBlues You mean the broad was dumb enuf to stir up trouble near where St. Floyd stired up trouble! No wonder they are both pushing up daisys

@sunsporter1649 Interesting how you're always on the side of the fascists. Why is that, sunstroke??

@ElwoodBlues i created this post in hopes of a constructive dialogue that deals with facts and not lies. Something about the woman having a son the same age as my son gave me great pause that we need to find what we agree on so this doesn’t happen again. I have tried to steer filks from both sides to stick to the facts. I have deleted several of Sunsporter’s duplicate posts for repeating the same lies over and over.

@ElwoodBlues Everyone knows whose side you are on
