Renee Good is shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. By now, you’ve likely seen at least one angle of the film.
Back in 1963, Abraham Zapruder filmed the Kennedy assassination. The Zapruder Film is still endlessly analyzed.
In this episode of Gracearchy with Jim Babka, we provide you with four simultaneous angles of Renee Good’s vehicle.
We not only consider the question of whether or not the shooting is justified, but also…
We go beyond the camera to the realm of causes and effects, the role of empathy, and sweeping solutions – a package you’ll get nowhere else.
OR…
But this is still “Gracearchy,” and lots of people have takes on the film – the things their biases tell them they saw. What’s special here?
First, you’ll get a new (and reusable) test that cuts to the core of everyone’s analysis.
Second, we’ll show you how incomplete all the armchair analysis is. The key is sufficient context. Why does hardly anyone have it.
Third, I’ll explain how our nation can avoid repeats of this incident, including the conditions that made the Renee Good shooting inevitable.
You’re probably going to prefer watching this one, but the video analysis is the early portion of this episode. The rest of the show is still highly valuable as an audio podcast.
Indeed, there’s a profound lesson in this episode, that you can only hear. Precise language is a key to understanding. I set a rule, right at the opening of the episode. And then, Bill and I stumble. I do so repeatedly, thereby demonstrating that embedded statist assumptions still reside in the mind of a dedicated post-statist. Are you making the same mistake?
