This is Earnest Mann, and I’m furious. On January 7th, just one week into a shiny new year, ICE officer Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Nicole Mlin Good, a 37-year-old mother of three. This wasn’t an accident. It was state-sanctioned murder. And you can trace the blood trail all the way up to the throne of America’s very own aspiring dictator.
Let’s be clear: ICE was never meant to keep Americans safe. It’s a tool of authoritarian control, created and enabled by the delusions of a narcissistic autocrat who mistakes cruelty for strength. Without ICE officers on the scene, Renee would still be alive. But ICE isn't about protection. It’s about enforcement — plain and brutal.
Here’s the truth: ICE agents and some cops have become enforcers — like mob thugs in uniform, doing the bidding of a wannabe king under the guise of “law and order.” And what’s the real order? Obey or suffer. Protest and die. The message is loud and grotesquely clear.
The system has been tuned for maximum terror, offering immunity to violent officers while striking fear into everyday citizens. When Jonathan Ross pulled the trigger, he didn’t just kill one woman — he helped send a message. A message that says they can kill you too, and walk away clean.
But here’s a twist authoritarian rulers never see coming: Most ICE and police officers aren’t monsters. They’re human. They have consciences. And if they choose to stop playing the enforcer role and stand with citizens instead of oppressors, this whole rotten structure collapses. That’s not fantasy — that’s history.
Martin Niemöller warned us 80 years ago: Eventually, they will come for you. So don’t just march for the sake of marching. March with purpose. Protest with clarity. And direct your message where it matters — to the police who still have souls. Ask them to stop helping a system built on fear, intimidation, and death. Because if they do, the dictator’s power crumbles fast.
Renee Nicole Mlin Good should still be here. Her kids should still have their mother. And if there’s any justice left, her murder will be the last straw.

On January 7th, just one week into a new
0:06
year, 37year-old mother of three, ages
0:10
15, 12, and six, Renee Nicole Mlin Good
0:15
was murdered by ICE officer Jonathan
0:18
Ross.
0:20
And make no mistake, this wasn't a
0:23
tragic accident. She was murdered, pure
0:26
and simple.
0:28
So, what I'm going to try to do here is
0:32
try to take something horrible and turn
0:35
it into something good because that's
0:39
the only thing a human being can do when
0:42
you're confronted with complete
0:45
insanity.
0:47
The insanity I speak of is that this
0:51
would have never happened if ICE agents
0:54
would not have been there in the first
0:56
place.
0:58
And that wouldn't have happened had they
1:01
not been ordered to be there if a
1:04
certain narcissistic prick with visions
1:07
of ruling America as king would not have
1:12
given that order. But like every other
1:15
dictator, past or present, they
1:18
absolutely love to see people suffer.
1:22
And the more that suffer and preferably
1:25
die if possible, the better. So, as I
1:29
said before, if ICE agents would have
1:32
never been there, Renee Nicole Mlin Good
1:37
would be alive today.
1:39
But her murder does not have to be
1:42
without consequence,
1:44
that she did not die in vain.
1:48
As you can see, I have a picture and a
1:52
very famous quote from Martin Nemo, a
1:56
German priest who lived during the
1:59
horror of Nazi Germany.
2:02
I hope you read it a thousand times if
2:05
necessary
2:07
because the words he speaks are just as
2:10
relevant today as they were over 80
2:14
years ago. Eventually, they will come
2:18
for you. If there is anything positive
2:22
to come out of Good's murder, this could
2:26
be the straw that breaks the camel's
2:28
back. I truly believe there are several
2:32
ways this kind of terror on America's
2:35
citizens can be stopped in its tracks,
2:39
and it would come from a very unlikely
2:42
source, the police.
2:46
Let me ask you this. Do you know what an
2:49
enforcer is? Allow me to briefly
2:52
explain.
2:54
In this case, I'm using the term
2:56
enforcer as it relates to certain people
3:00
who work for the mob.
3:03
Enforcers are the guys who work for the
3:06
mob bosses to collect debts or in other
3:10
ways to get their employer, the mob
3:14
boss, what he wants. big, strong, scary
3:18
guys who usually also carry guns and are
3:22
sent to mob boss's clients with the
3:26
threat of violence or actual violence
3:30
such as breaking body parts and if need
3:33
be killing people. So when America's
3:38
wannabe king starts talking about law
3:40
and order, what he really means is his
3:45
laws and his order.
3:48
And he wants ICE, the police, the
3:51
National Guard, and even the military to
3:54
be enforcers.
3:56
But for right now, he's just really
3:58
focusing on ICE and the police as his
4:03
primary enforcers. And like any good
4:06
dictator, his goal is terror.
4:10
The blueprint and message for terror in
4:13
the American citizen is simple and
4:16
twofold.
4:18
First, come to any kind of protest and
4:22
you can be killed. And second, to the
4:26
few psychopathic ICE or police officers
4:30
is just go ahead and kill someone. and
4:34
there'll be little if any consequences.
4:39
So to a psychopathic ICE or police
4:42
officer, that is sweet music to their
4:45
ears.
4:47
But what's been demonstrated throughout
4:49
the history of the many narcissistic and
4:53
psychopathic dictators is that normal
4:56
people do not like making other people,
5:01
especially vulnerable people, suffer.
5:05
And they especially don't like killing
5:08
people. One of the best ways, but
5:12
certainly not the only way, is to appeal
5:16
to ICE and police officers conscience.
5:20
And as I already mentioned, there are
5:23
certainly psychopathic ICE and police
5:26
officers out there. Jonathan Ross is
5:30
certainly one of them. But the vast
5:32
majority of ICE agents and police
5:35
officers are not psychopathic.
5:39
They are fully human. And if there's one
5:42
thing you can count on, Jonathan Ross's
5:46
fellow ICE officers who were there when
5:50
Ross fatally shot Good know he murdered
5:55
her. And let's just say those fellow
5:59
officers who are normal and have a
6:02
conscience won't exactly be having warm
6:06
and fuzzy feelings towards him.
6:10
The fact is, our wannabe dictator is
6:14
doing everything in his power to
6:16
intimidate and frighten citizens
6:19
because he knows that large crowds of
6:22
very unhappy citizens is a potential
6:26
powder keg waiting to explode.
6:30
So, just to help that potential
6:32
explosion along, throw in a whole bunch
6:36
of ICE agents and/or police and
6:40
something violent is bound to happen,
6:44
which is what he wants because then it
6:47
gives him the opportunity and excuse to
6:51
clamp down
6:53
with even more authoritarian fear and
6:56
terror on the citizens.
6:59
It's a vicious cycle that's been part of
7:02
the dictator's playbook for a very long
7:06
time. That is, it works until the
7:10
citizens figure this game out. If you're
7:14
going to protest, the signs you need to
7:17
be carrying are messages to the police,
7:21
begging them if necessary, to stop
7:24
threatening you, arresting you, and
7:27
certainly not to kill you.
7:32
In very short, if we get the police back
7:35
on the side of citizens by, for example,
7:40
officers refusing to use scare tactics,
7:45
arrest or physical harm, unconcerned and
7:49
detached leaders always lose their
7:52
power. It's a domino effect, but in a
7:56
good way.
7:58
Because if, for example, the police
8:01
would do what I just suggested and
8:05
actually go into solidarity with the
8:07
terrorized citizens,
8:10
what's a wannabe dictator going to do?
8:13
Send in the military to arrest or even
8:16
shoot the police?
8:19
I don't think so.
8:21
I'm going to wrap this up now. And I
8:24
just wanted to say that although I don't
8:27
claim that I know for certain, my
8:30
suggestions on what can be done would
8:33
actually work.
8:36
But what I do know for certain is if we
8:39
do nothing, the situation is only going
8:42
to get worse. And this is my way of
8:46
trying to do something, however small,
8:50
to let the world know, that the murder
8:53
of a woman I never knew is not forgotten
8:57
and there will be consequences.
