I’m Pro-Law Enforcement — And This Shooting Never Should’ve Happened

I’m conservative. I’ve voted for Donald Trump three times. I support law enforcement, ICE, and strong immigration enforcement. But what happened to Renée Nicole Macklin Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three who was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis, raises a much bigger issue that both sides are missing. This video isn’t an attack on police, and it isn’t an emotional reaction. It’s a principled argument about individual rights, government power, and why the use of deadly force against a U.S. citizen should always be an absolute last resort when alternatives exist. I explain why I oppose the death penalty, police militarization, and policy choices that allow preventable situations to escalate into lethal outcomes. Supporting law enforcement does not mean defending every action, especially when procedural decisions create unnecessary risk to human life. If we want better outcomes, the focus should be on laws, rules of engagement, and operational standards that prevent these situations from happening in the first place, not on blindly choosing sides after the fact.
