Hey guys. A lot of people are forgetting this part of the situation regarding ICE domestic terrorists murdering Renee Good. Here is KIMI K2's new thinking model on what may end up being a major factor. However, given the fact that the FBI has gone against precedent and cut off local law enforcement from running their own investigation, clearly the administration has zero interest in transparency or the law.

"Law enforcement officers cannot deliberately create dangerous situations and then claim justification for using deadly force to resolve them. This principle, known as "officer-created jeopardy" or "officer-induced jeopardy," holds that when officers recklessly or unnecessarily escalate confrontations, their use of force may be deemed unreasonable and unconstitutional [1][2].

Legal FrameworkLegal Framework

The Department of Justice policy explicitly states that officers "may use force only when no reasonably effective, safe, and feasible alternative appears to exist" and that deadly force "may not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect" [3]. The policy further prohibits discharging firearms at moving vehicles unless the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens death or serious injury and "no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle" [3].

Supreme Court precedent establishes that claims of excessive force are evaluated under the Fourth Amendment's "objective reasonableness" standard, as articulated in Graham v. Connor [4]. However, this assessment must consider whether the officer's own actions created the need for force in the first place [1][5].

Officer-Created Jeopardy DoctrineOfficer-Created Jeopardy Doctrine

The officer-created jeopardy doctrine addresses situations where law enforcement actions increase the risk of violence and serve no legitimate law enforcement purpose [2]. Examples include:

• Standing or moving in front of a suspect's vehicle while the engine is running
• Reaching into a vehicle attempting to flee in a last-ditch attempt to pull the suspect out
• Escalating tense situations through verbal confrontation instead of de-escalation [2]

Legal scholars have identified this as a "liability loophole" where officers can escape accountability when they deliberately or recklessly escalate situations, creating the need for force [1][6]. Courts have recognized that officers who unnecessarily create dangerous situations may be held liable for resulting harm [5].

Application to the ICE Minneapolis ShootingApplication to the ICE Minneapolis Shooting

In the January 7, 2026, fatal shooting of Renee Good, this principle is central to the controversy. Legal experts have noted that while some of the agent's actions might be legally defensible, "lethal force should be an absolute last resort when no other options are available," and that the agent had alternatives such as not positioning himself in front of the vehicle [7]. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, after reviewing footage, explicitly rejected the self-defense narrative, stating: "Having seen the video, I have to tell you that is bull****. This is an agent recklessly using force that resulted in somebody dying" [8].

The agent's own cell phone footage has raised questions about whether he unnecessarily placed himself in danger, potentially undermining the government's justification [9]. Critics argue this reflects an "enforcement culture that has grown increasingly aggressive, unaccountable, violent and chaotic" where officers create dangerous scenarios that predictably result in violence [10].

Legal ConsequencesLegal Consequences

When officers create jeopardy, their use of force may be deemed unconstitutional under Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act, exposing them to civil liability [1][5]. Some legal scholars advocate for a "rebuttable presumption of unreasonableness" when officers create danger, shifting the burden to the officer to justify why their actions were necessary despite escalating the situation [6]. Criminal prosecution may also be possible when officer conduct is grossly negligent or reckless, though courts have noted this could potentially chill legitimate law enforcement [5]."
