US Immigration Officer Who Killed Woman Had Previously Dragged Suspect for 100 Yards, Claiming Fear for His Life
A federal immigration officer who was involved in a violent arrest and is now accused of killing a woman in Minneapolis had previously testified that he was dragged by a fleeing suspect and feared for his life. Jonathan Ross, an ICE officer, was on patrol in Bloomington, Minnesota last June when he stopped Roberto Carlos Muñoz, a Guatemalan citizen with prior sex crimes convictions.
The traffic stop turned violent when Muñoz attempted to flee, prompting Ross to break the rear driver's side window and drag him for approximately 100 yards. According to court documents, Ross claimed that Muñoz was resisting arrest and he feared for his life as he testified that he fired his Taser into Muñoz's face "ten times."
The incident resulted in Ross receiving 33 stitches to his legs and hands after being knocked loose by the fleeing driver. Muñoz was later found guilty of assault and causing bodily harm to a federal officer.
This shocking revelation has raised questions about Ross's credibility, particularly given that he claimed to have feared for his life during the same incident that led to Renee Nicole Good's fatal shooting in Minneapolis earlier this week. An official with the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that the case involved the same officer who killed the 35-year-old woman.

, can you believe what an ICE officer did?! He was so scared during the traffic stop that he broke a window and dragged the guy for like 100 yards 
! And then he had the nerve to say he was afraid for his life? Like, how does that even work? You're a grown man, not a kid anymore 
. And to make matters worse, he ended up getting hurt himself because of some crazy suspect's moves 
. I'm all for keeping people safe, but this officer needs to take a long hard look at his own behavior and figure out why he was so shook 
. The fact that he killed someone else after doing this stuff just shows us that he's not trustworthy 
.
I'm really disappointed but not surprised by what's happening here. This guy is supposed to be a law enforcement officer, yet he dragged some dude for 100 yards and still managed to shoot him ten times! The fact that he lied about it too, claiming he was afraid for his life, just makes me wanna scream. 
, what a difference between being in fear of your life vs actually using that as an excuse to hurt others... and like how did no one see that he was just trying to cause harm on those 100 yard drag? 
I'm really shook by this news, you know? Like how can one person claim fear for their life and then go on to kill someone else? It's just not right. And to think he had a similar incident where he was dragged for 100 yards and claimed it too... it's like he's playing a twisted game of "I'm the victim". The fact that he testified about this in court and later killed another person is just mind-blowing. I mean, what kind of training do these ICE officers need? It's just not okay and I feel so bad for Renee Nicole Good's family. 
... I mean, what's going on with these people? Are they really incapable of basic human empathy? 
Meanwhile, Renee Nicole Good's family is still trying to process her senseless death, and we're over here wondering if our "heroes" are qualified to handle anything more complicated than a speeding ticket
