January 7, 2026 - The Murder of Renee Nicole Good
Category: News & Politics

This morning, a federal agent from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good as she was driving away from ICE agents on a residential street in Minneapolis, Minnesota. According to Minneapolis leaders, Good was a legal observer: a volunteer trained to observe police conduct in case of future legal action.
Three videos taken at the scene show a maroon SUV perpendicular on a snowy street. A silver SUV driving up the street stops. Two officers wearing badges that say "police" and body armor get out of the vehicle and walk toward the maroon car.
One of them says, "Get out of the f*cking car," and the other reaches through the open driver's side window while trying to open the door. The driver backs up the vehicle, and straightens the wheel as if making a three-point turn. Then she starts slowly to accelerate along the street.
A third officer who has been standing on the side of the road pulls out a gun as the car is turning away. He shoots three times. The maroon car does not hit anyone as it rolls up the street, hitting another vehicle and then a utility pole. The shooter walks briskly away, apparently uninjured.
Seen in slow motion, a video shows the wheels of the maroon vehicle were fully turned away from the shooting officer, who made no effort to jump away, clearly suggesting he did not feel as if he were in danger. His first shot went through the windshield; the next two went through the driver's side window as the car moved past him. An onlooker shouted "What the f*ck?!"
Video taken by another eyewitness shows ICE agents refusing to allow a self-identified physician to tend to the victim and telling him to back up. Although there is no one tending the clearly visible woman in the car, an agent says: "We have medics on scene. We have our own medics." When another bystander screams: "Where are they? WHERE ARE THEY?!" an agent tells her, "Relax." "How can I relax?" she shouts. "You just killed my f*cking neighbor."
Yesterday the Trump administration deployed federal agents and officers to Minneapolis for what they called the largest federal immigration operation ever carried out, eventually planning to deploy 2,000 agents. The administration has been attacking Minnesota's Somali community, and Homeland Security Kristi Noem was present at an ICE arrest yesterday, telling a man in handcuffs, who Homeland Security later said was from Ecuador, "You will be held accountable for your crimes."
Rebecca Santana and Michael Balsamo of the Associated Press reported that Minnesota governor Tim Walz called the deployment "a war that's being waged against Minnesota." "You're seeing that we have a ridiculous surge of apparently 2,000 people not coordinating with us, that are for a show of cameras," he said.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) insists that its actions are protecting American citizens from "the worst of the worst" criminal immigrants, so the shooting of a young white woman, the mother of a young child, and how that would look, made it appear eager to smear Good.
It immediately put out a statement that looked much like what it said after officers shot 30-year-old Chicago teaching assistant Marimar Martinez in October when it claimed she had "ambushed" agents, ramming their vehicle before an agent shot her five times. Footage showed that, in fact, the agents had rammed her car, and after the shooting one had sent a text message bragging: "I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys." The Department of Justice dropped the charges it had filed against her, asking a judge to "dismiss the indictment and exonerate" Martinez and her passenger.
Today, DHS posted on social media that "ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism. An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots. He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers. The alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased. The ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries. This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement who are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats."
Trump jumped in with his own fact-free post lying that the shooter had been run over: "I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot at her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe that he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE. We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP"
That both DHS and Trump posted false accounts of the shooting even as there are four videos circulating that reveal those accounts to be lies shows they no longer are making any attempt to justify their actions. Instead, they are demanding Americans abandon reality in favor of whatever the administration says. If this works, it would be a demonstration of totalitarian power, the ability to control how people think. Accepting that lie is a loyalty test.
But it is not working.
First of all, Sarah Jeong of The Verge noted that the reason there are so many videos is because "people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her."
Second, elected Democrats are pushing back. "I've seen the video," Governor Walz wrote. "Don't believe this propaganda machine. The state will ensure there is a full, fair, and expeditious investigation to ensure accountability and justice." To reporters, he said: "We've been warning for weeks that the Trump administration's dangerous, sensationalized operations are a threat to our public safety, that someone was going to get hurt. Just yesterday I said exactly that. What we're seeing is the consequences of governance designed to generate fear, headlines, and conflict. It's governing by reality TV and today that recklessness cost someone their life. I've reached out to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and I'm waiting to hear back."
He told Minnesotans that, like them, he was angry, but "they want a show. We can't give it to them. We cannot. If you protest and express your First Amendment rights, please do so peacefully as you always do. We can't give them what they want…. To Americans, I ask you this. Please stand with Minneapolis."
Walz prepared to call out the Minnesota National Guard if necessary, demonstrating that there would be no need for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act and send in troops. He reminded Minnesotans that the Minnesota National Guard does not wear masks and that it is theirs, not Trump's.
Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey told reporters that the DHS statement was "bullsh*t. This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed." "To the family, I'm so deeply sorry," Frey said. "There's nothing that I can say right now that's going to make you or your relatives, friends of the victim feel any better." To ICE and other federal agents deployed in Minnesota, he added: "Get the f*ck out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite. People are being hurt. Families are being ripped apart…and now somebody is dead."
But something else was also going on today. At the same time the administration was pouring gasoline on the domestic fire ICE had sparked and the international fire it had set with its attacks on Venezuela and threats against Greenland, it was quietly making a number of major financial moves.
The smallest of those moves was that today Trump asked Fulton County, Georgia, for a $6.2 million payout in attorneys' fees and costs after the criminal charges against him in Georgia were dismissed. Trump had been indicted for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia by pressuring Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensberger to "find" 11,780 votes to give him a victory in the state of Georgia. In November 2025 a new special prosecutor dropped the charges, citing the difficulty of prosecuting a case against a sitting president. Trump boasted on social media of his victory over an "illegal, unconstitutional, and unAmerican hoax," and continued to push the lie that Democrats stole the election.
Vicky Ge Huang of the Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump family's cryptocurrency venture World Liberty Financial today applied for a national banking license from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, part of the Treasury Department. A banking license would integrate the Trump family's cryptocurrency more fully into mainstream finance.
If the Treasury Department issues the license—a potential outcome that critics say reveals a major conflict of interest for the president—the president and chair of the new company would be Zach Witkoff, whose father is the son of Trump's envoy to Russia Steve Witkoff, who the Wall Street Journal recently reported had been handpicked for his role by Russian president Vladimir Putin. The younger Witkoff started World Liberty Financial in 2024 with Trump's sons Don Jr., Eric, and Barron.
Today, Energy Secretary Chris Wright told an audience at a Goldman Sachs energy industry event in Miami, Florida, that the United States will take control of all oil from Venezuela for the foreseeable future. Lisa Desjardins and Nick Schifrin of PBS NewsHour reported this afternoon that Trump administration officials have told lawmakers that they plan to put the money raised from their seizure of Venezuelan oil into bank accounts outside the U.S. Treasury. Desjardins clarified that "[s]ources said they understood these as similar [to] or decidedly 'off-shore' accounts."
Yesterday, Trump announced that, as president of the United States, he would control the money from the sale of Venezuelan oil.
And then, this afternoon, Trump's social media account first threatened the defense contractor Raytheon, saying that "[e]ither Raytheon steps up, and starts investing in more upfront Investment like Plants and Equipment, or they will no longer be doing business with Department of War."
Then, the same account posted: "After long and difficult negotiations with Senators, Congressmen, Secretaries, and other Political Representatives, I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion Dollars. This will allow us to build the 'Dream Military' that we have long been entitled to and, more importantly, that will keep us SAFE and SECURE, regardless of foe. If it weren't for the tremendous numbers being produced by Tariffs from other Countries, many of which, in the past, have 'ripped off' the United States at levels never seen before, I would stay at the $1 Trillion Dollar number but, because of Tariffs, and the tremendous income they bring, amounts being generated, that would have been unthinkable in the past (especially just one year ago during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, the Worst President in the History of our Country!), we are able to easily hit the $1.5 Trillion Dollar number while, at the same time, producing an unparalleled Military Force, and having the ability to, at the same time, pay down Debt, and likewise, pay a substantial Dividend to moderate income Patriots within our Country!"

If you want to know exactly how the Renee Good murder went down:
Renee Good Shooting: Three Shots, One Timeline: A Preliminary Forensic Video Breakdown
A Deeper Look Visual Investigation
by Michael D. Sellers
I have watched that video many times and that was a murder. No officer was injured and no officer was under threat. This woman was simply trying to drive around a car blocking the street. That "officer" needs to be jailed and charged with murder. No amount of spin can make this into anything but a cold blooded murder!
Here is a video that clearly shows the agent being hit by the woman. She got what she deserved...
[✘]
Do people have any obligation to obey law enforcement?
There are many leftists that have told the crazies on the left to resist law enforcement. These leftists send out their lemmings to do their dirty work, making them pay for the violence they commit.
These leftists, especially the politicians, need to go to prison for inciting violence.
Sure, but the orders must be lawful, and they also must be clear. If it’s obviously not lawful, it’s not reasonable to expect instant compliance. Additionally, a lot of times with these ICE agents, you’ve multiple agents giving conflicting orders. One guy is shouting “freeze,” while another shouts “get out of the car,” and a third is telling someone to leave. So, the citizen trying to comply, ends up ignoring the order of one or more agents and gets attacked or shot.
How exactly is someone going to determine if an order is "Lawful", have your attorney follow you 24/7, keep him on the phone when you are protesting police actions, facetime, how??????
Yeah, it’s difficult. As a general rule of thumb, you can attempt to clarify with the officer that if you do not comply, he will arrest you. At which point, you comply out of prudence. Arguing the matter is something that is usually best done in court, but sometimes, standing up for your rights can work in the field. Unfortunately, we are now working with a group of government agents who seem to be looking for the slightest provocation to hurt someone, instead of de-escalating.
Critically, absent some obvious imminent threat, “failure to follow an order” is never justification for shooting someone.
Nothing Good did could possibly be construed as deserving lethal gunfire.
It's murder.
End of story.
She had just dropped off her 6 year old son at school. Then she was murdered by ICE.
Yeah, she was a domestic terrorist.
This fucking administration is beyond corrupt and beyond despicable.
... and NT's MAGAs are proud to defend Good's murder.
They're in their deity's image: utterly shameless.
It is sickening.
Tell us, what crime was committed that has a sentence of death? We'll wait.
She was murdered.
Legally this is most likely manslaughter.
She certainly was unnecessarily killed.
And it is sickening that some pretend otherwise no matter how obvious the evidence merely due to blind ideology.
As more and more information like this comes out, it is clear that there is no excuse for the second two shots. I dont think there is an excuse for the first shot but to be fair that is slightly debatable, based on his alleged fear for his life. As I said in a comment yesterday, a child could have gotten out the way of that car when it started to move, but evidently this highly trained ICE cop could not.
Had she obeyed the officer there would have been no shots.
Exactly
Obeyed which officer? It appears agents are simultaneously telling her to leave, freeze, and get out of the car.
Please provide a time stamp when an officer told her to "leave".
Is there a time stamp for orders that she was supposed to follow?
Do you think they were approaching her because they wanted her to stay where she was? Why would they want that? She’s a citizen. She wasn’t a person within their jurisdiction or mission. What is the justification for contacting her then?
I don't think you know all the circumstances. You make it sound like she was just driving down the street minding her own business.
Well, nobody does, do they? That’s why an independent investigation should be conducted.
She might very well have been. She does apparently live in the neighborhood. I don’t know what business she was minding, but our DHS Secretary tried to paint her as some organized domestic terrorist. From what little we do know, I would say that’s bullshit.
Reporting is that she had just dropped off her 6 year old at school and was on her way home when she encountered the ICE agents. Some terrorist!
Yes, because everyone on their way home blocks ICE agent vehicles from proceeding. s/
Must be a Minnesota thing.
Can you see there are cars on either side of her? And we don’t know who belongs to those cars or how they got there. You don’t even know if she’s trying to block the road. She could be trying to go around the situation or turning into her driveway, for all you know.
There was a woman interviewed that stated she was the leader of the cars that was blocking ICE from getting through.
Is that witness lying?
The "reporting" does say that she dropped off a child and her wife was with her, but when they came across the ICE vehicles her wife exited the vehicle to get video as Renee positions the vehicle across the road. So were they there to confront ICE for video? According to Rebecca, the wife, she is taking the blame for Renee's death for making Renee drive there.
You know it’s not a crime to record law enforcement, right?
Leader? Do you imagine she had advanced knowledge of where ICE would be?
Yes, that sounds like something a person should be shot for. /s How about go around? There appears to be room.
I have no idea, but you believe it without question because you want to make it ok to shoot someone for blocking the road.
You know for an allegedly scary terrorist woman intent on blocking the road, she seemed eager enough to drive away from the guys in masks. I guess that doesn’t factor into your consideration of events, huh?
They were there to bear witness to ICE behavior. A perfectly legal activity.
Do you support the murder of this woman for starting to drive her car away from the scene?
Do you actually blame this woman rather than the murderer who killed her at point-blank range?
If this was your daughter, wife, etc. would you be arguing that her death was her fault?
I read or heard that somewhere as well, but it most certainly does not change the Fact, that her death as a result of point blank execution could have been avoided. From what i've heard and read, the officer should not have been in front of her vehicle, they are supposed to be trained and know this. I think they knew her and were pissed cause she had possibly been interacting with the agents prior, and anger possibly got the best of them, as the guy trying to open her door acted pissed, the one drawing a gun, instead of stepping timely to the side out of her path, obviously was.
As i stated earlier, i see it as a bad shoot, but there is enough evidence to claim he was fearing for his own and the lives of his other agents on the scene.
Shooting someone is supposed to be a last resort, that obviously was not the case here.
If your interfering with Federal Agents trying to do their job you have put yourself in their jurisdiction.
Couple of things, she drove toward an officer after she was ordered out of the car, she struck the officer, six months earlier this same officer was hit and dragged by a vehicle disobeying an order. Did you have the same concern for Ashley Babbit who was not driving a car at an officer, never posed a threat to the officer whatsoever and was shot without warning.
They would never put themselves in this position, if an officer would give them a command, they would follow it. A majority, if not all of these shooting would be avoided is people would obey a command by an officer.
She drove towards the road. She was NOT trying to hit an officer with her car.
Which suggests that his over-the-top use of lethal force was irrational based on prior encounters.
Always with the deflection. Focus.
Of course, deflect.
That’s a little tough to argue about a woman sitting in her car in the public road.
She was perpendicular "IN" the road
How do you know this?
Funny when comparisons are brought up its, always a deflection.
Explain the "Deflect" when the question is answered directly?
Are you saying that anyone sitting on a public road, can't interfere with a Federal Agent, wow didn't know that, what statute says that.
You yet again offer nothing.
Just incredible watching people like you trying to defend this corrupt administration and flat out denying what happened as shown clearly on many video shots and images.
The killer was unharmed. He never should have shot at a moving vehicle. He chose to kill a woman point-blank who was just starting to move her vehicle onto the road.
And you try defend this senseless killing of a citizen!!
If this was your wife or daughter, you would not be parroting the Trump administration.
She was told to stop and get out of her car, she did not, she drove forward and hit an officer, tell me what part of that is not true.
I agree, she should have never put herself in that position to begin with.
This ICE officer killed a woman. Do you not even care? Where is the sense of human decency? Is partisan politics so important that people like you will deny the obvious to defend a corrupt administration?
Just do not understand this insanity.
The agent was clearly not in fear of imminent death, and that is the only exception to the rule of 'do not fire on a moving vehicle'. If he thought so, he could have simply stepped further away from the vehicle.
Instead, he used his time to pull his firearm, ready his position, fire into the corner of the windshield, reposition and then fire into the driver's window.
He chose to kill this woman rather than follow protocol and step aside. He was not in imminent danger of death as evidenced by the indisputable fact that he had time to kill this woman and that afterwards, he walked down to inspect his kill and then walk back. Obviously unharmed.
The corrupt Trump administration is spreading outrageous propaganda, and this is being parroted by 'useful' people.
You haven't told me which part was untrue.
You need to look at yourself in the mirror, you justified an officer killing someone for no reason, so don't try and shame me!
Lol. Officers have ESP and see the world in slow motion and can move faster than cars. They know exactly what laughing ladies accelerating towards them are thinking and know that the laughing lady would certainly never, ever turn into him if he moved. Because no one ever does that.
Is the driver who hit the agent with a moving vehicle deserve any blame at all in your world? Did she do anything wrong at all?
I cant figure out why you think that video exonerates the cop?
First of all, I didn’t say any of that. Second, where is the evidence she was interfering with a federal agent? Her one car is not blocking the entire road. There was plenty of room to drive around her. What mission would the agent be performing in the street anyway? Word from ICE is they were going “door to door.” There are no doors in the street.
Third, we now have video shot from the perspective of one of the agents. That agent walks around the vehicle, recording the scene, but at no point complains about her presence, tries to get her to leave, exit the vehicle, or do anything in particular.
WTF are you talking about? I never said that Babbitt deserved to die. Cease posting lies.
In Babbitt's case, the officer should have fired a warning shot. That has been my position.
In this case, the agent should have used his time to ensure he was comfortably clear of the car and followed normal protocol.
He did not. He unnecessarily killed a 37 year old mother.
From your avoidance of my question, I think it is obvious that if this were your wife or child that you would NOT consider the agent's actions justified.
The car had just started to move and the street was wide open with plenty of room for agents to move about. This is not a car barreling down an alleyway with no way for the agent to go to avoid being run over.
The agent was unharmed even though he used his available time to pull his weapon, ready his aim, fire, reposition, and fire again through the drivers window rather than use all of that time to simply make a step and ensure he was clear of her path. And even with all of that, he still was clear of her path and was unharmed.
Obviously, he was not in danger for his life.
Agents are not supposed to fire on cars anyway.
This agent unnecessarily killed a woman, a citizen, a mother, a wife, and a daughter. Does this not matter to Trump supporters?
If you believe a car that is just starting to move might clip you, do you take a step to ensure you are clear of the path or do you take more time and kill the driver?
did the driver do anything wrong?
Of course, she should have sat there waiting for clear instructions instead of trying to leave the scene. Especially now since we can see that these ICE agents can be deadly.
Did the agent do anything wrong?
You know, like, maybe, did he kill someone unnecessarily?
If you believe a car that is just starting to move might clip you, do you take a step to ensure you are clear of the path or do you take more time and kill the driver?
She was given veery clear instructions. Instead she drove her suC at the officer standing in front of her.
No I think he acted reasonably under the circumstances. I don't believe LEO's are superhuman beings with extra sensory perception. Cops get killed in these situations frequently. When someone drives a car at you (and it hits you), it's reasonable to assume you are in danger. That's common sense.
Always enjoy people second guessing how they should act when making a split second decision with their life on the line.
You are denying reality. Just sickening.
He shot her twice from the drivers side window. Yeah it all happened fast, but his job is to know when to stop.
I said to you yesterday a normal person would have been happy they didnt get hit, his reaction was to kill her. The woman was turning the wheels away from him from the gitgo. To say she went right at him is a total lie.
Except when its not.
Lol. This is just another in the long line of reality denying gaslighting from the left. It really became noticeable with the Covington video where progressives would straight up lie about what the video shows. Same with Biden's senility. Just deny the video. Just ideology over reality. I've given up on reasoning with people, it's just interesting to see how far they'll.
For the sane people out there. SHE HIT A LEO WITH HER CAR after disobeying orders from agents. To argue that doesn't create the risk of serious injury to the Officer makes insane too feeble a word to use. If this were a Trump supporter interfering with police who was shot by a cop no progressive would think twice about supporting the Cop. Not for a single second.
His job is to put an end to the threat. As the Supreme court has made clear, if the first shot was good, so were the rest fired in rapid succession. They don't have to pause and see what happens after each shot.
aid to you yesterday a normal person would have been happy they didnt get hit,
He got hit. It's not disputable. Just because he didn't get killed doesn't make it okay.
The woman was turning the wheels away from him from the gitgo
No they weren't. And why do you think he was looking at the tires anyway?
Except when its not.
Perfect. We've reached the absurd position where progressives arguing getting hit by a car is not dangerous. Perfect/
It seems the cop thought he should be filming her through the windshield - what was that all about? As I said yesterday, there is a video from the opposite side of the street that shows him stepping in front of the car after the car was moving. The idea that he was 'hit' by this car is ridiculous. The idea that she drove right toward him is ridiculous. The cop was completely irresponsible. There is not one instant of her going forward where she was not turning the wheels to the right.
Whatever case he had for saying he shot out of fear goes away with shot number two and three.
Just sickening watching people stoop to such blatant propaganda and intellectual dishonesty.
The videos show what happened. Your pathetic denials are not going to change reality.
Not as ridiculous as suggesting he stepped in front of a moving vehicle.
More likely he heard the tires spinning on ice and had no idea where she was driving
He shot her while the car was going AWAY from him. What threat was that? By the way the car was going away from him because she turned the wheels before getting shot.
Show us anything that shows he was "hit" by this car other than the blurry video ,shot from much further down the street, where he appears to have been grazed.
Do you seriously believe this man didnt know that he was outside the danger zone of being dragged under the car? He didnt get hurt. He didnt fall down , he didnt even lose his balance, we can know that because a half second later he was upright shooting at her through the drivers window.
You can gaslight all you want, I am past giving a shit.
If you believe a car that is just starting to move might clip you, do you take a step to ensure you are clear of the path or do you take more time and kill the driver?
This is nothing new, TiG.
The video that Dig posted last night shows , pretty clearly, that the car was in motion (in reverse) before he stepped in front of it. I find this very relevant. Unless he is a total moron he chose to step in front of a car that was about to pull out of its spot. I think the cell phone is key to this part of it. It seems he wanted to get a picture of her face, maybe to put on social media.
That's long overdue.
I find this very relevant. Unless he is a total moron he chose to step in front of a car that was about to pull out of its spot
so cool the left is now arguing that when they protest and block traffic you can just run them over, because if they don’t avoid the car it’s their fault. Only total morons get hit by cars. It’s so easy to avoid them. A split second is plenty of time to make all sorts of observations act in the most optimal way.
This will probably lead to a new defense for the charlotte train stabber. It’s the stabbing victim’s fault if they don’t avoid the knife aimed at them, That dumb girl on the train should have looked to see which which way the guy was stabbing her from and simply avoided it. Can’t blame the stabber for the Victim not taking proper progressive approved evasive actions.
why did he step in front of the car after it was moving ? Why was he videoing her with his camera from directly in front of the car. The driver was in the car, the motor was running, and she had backed up to create the room for the arc to clear the car that was directly to her right. She was going to pull out. As stupid as the cop was though, it all comes down to whether he reasonably thought she was going to run him over. That could explain the first shot but cannot explain the other two.
John - a bullet hole through the driver's side lower front windshield and one through the driver's side window - clean shots - on various videos.
If you believe a car that is just starting to move might clip you, do you take a step to ensure you are clear of the path or do you take more time and kill the driver?
Just so we’re clear, you believe it’s the responsibility of protesters who step in front of cars to avoid being hit and if they are hit, it’s solely the pedestrians fault. Going to make protest season pretty exciting.
why did he step in front of the car after it was moving
He was in front of the car before it started moving. Watch the video.
The video proves otherwise. SORRY!
She had already gone a few feet in reverse before he stepped in front of the car. Why does someone back up first in that sort of situation? To create room for a wider arc around the car next to her. Her backing up a little was the signal she was about to go forward.
You still havent explained why he positioned himself in front of the car at all. LEO after LEO has said since that you dont stand in front of a car that has someone in the drivers seat.
As for the video released yesterday, it does NOT prove the cop was hit by her car. It proves that he fumbled his phone. At best, there is one video taken from a good distance away that appears to show him being grazed by the car. Other videos from other angles seem to show him not being hit at all. In any case he didnt fall, or even lose his balance. He wasnt hurt, he was trigger happy.
And you're still getting your story wrong.
If you believe a car that is just starting to move might clip you, do you take a step to ensure you are clear of the path or do you take more time and kill the driver?
Why do you refuse to answer this probative question? This goes to the heart of the matter in terms of the justification for using lethal force.
Duh.
Bad judgement, like shit, runs downhill with this administration.
Ashleigh Babbit !!!!
The same people who decried Babbitt's death at the hands of Capitol Police as cold blooded murder, for refusing to obey orders while climbing through the broken windows of locked and
barricaded doors, after trespassing pretty deep in the Capitol building itself, now bend over backwards to justify this murder as "deserved"?
Talk about double standards and confirmation bias. ...
The hypocrisy is despicable.
Watch the bodycam footage. Many progressives, if they were honest, would apologize for the lies they’ve been pushing. They of course, won’t.
instead they’ll stop discussing the story over the next day but then bring it up in drive byes for years and run away when pressed for evidence.
Cameras and independent media destroy the lies pushed by the left wing yet again.
here is the body cam footage-
(7) Carl Higbie on X: "And just like that… officer is proven innocent. https://t.co/pOr8xyfDM4" / X
The only thing that proves as far as I can see is that he dropped his camera.
The man did not fall to the ground, did not lose balance, and suffered no injuries.
How do YOU explain the two shots through the driver side window?
The right will jump on the video because the driver and her friend were shown to be a little smart mouthed with the cop. Completely irrelevant.
Did you notice this part of the video? It clearly shows the woman turning the steering wheel to the right, away from the cop. YOUR president and DHS head both said she deliberately "ran him over".
The second and third shot would doom this guy in a fair trial, which will never see the light of day.
By the way, after he shot her in the head three times you can hear him say "fucking bitch" as the car goes down the street.
Just incredible. What do you think this body cam shows? We know where the guy was positioned, we know he jerked around and fired his weapon. We know he was still firmly standing on his feet when he fired through the windshield and again through the driver's window. We know he walked around with no apparent injury.
We know that he should not have fired on a moving car, no matter what.
We have seen this on many videos and images from various angles.
WTF drives people like you to try to support the blatantly false propaganda of this corrupt administration?
If you take this bodycam video in totality it seems to show a cop who was angry, one of the women was mocking him pretty enthusiastically, and even the driver talks to him with a sarcastic tone. I think this may explain why he stood in front of the car. He was pissed. The body cam does not show him being hit, because he wasnt, but it does get herky jerky in the split second before the shooting. I dont think this video proves anything other than that they had had a verbal confrontation, if you want to call it that, about ten seconds before the shooting. And that he says "fucking bitch" as her dead body is rolling down the street.
Religious zealots don't apologize, they escalate.
They also don't entertain any idea that isn't orthodoxy.
Once a person has allowed themselves to be whipped into a fever of irrational hysteria, they cease to be able to even consider the idea that the thing driving their hysteria may be inaccurate.
The sad reality is that both the driver and the officer should have behaved differently, and that a long series of judgment errors escalated to a tragic fatality.
Reasonable people will understand that we have a small window into the situation with very few details, in the prudent act would be to refrain from making a rash judgment. The incident will surely be investigated, further details will undoubtedly emerge, and we will all have a much clearer picture of what actually happened.
But zealots are not reasonable. They will rush to declararations that align with their predetermined views, and no amount of facts will dissuade them from either the certainty of their belief or the confidence of their own self-righteousness.
Do you see anything in this bodycam video that shows progressives should be apologizing? If anything it shows she was turning away from him not trying to run him down. It also shows he was probably angry because they were teasing him. Then he (or possibly one of the other ICE) says "fucking bitch" after she was shot multiple times in the head.
Of course Trump and Vance and Noem will hold this nonsense up as proof of the cops innocence.
Under no circumstances in this scenario should that agent shoot this woman for starting to leave the scene. The normal procedure is to pursue and stop the vehicle. ICE (and police in general) do not shoot at moving vehicles.
The exception is imminent threat of death. Given this agent willingly pulled his firearm and aimed and shot this woman, and then shot her again through the driver’s window, all while holding his cell phone, and still was unharmed shows that he was under no threat of imminent death.
He should have stepped aside (if necessary) and allowed her to leave the scene. If there was a need to stop her, they should have followed protocol.
Real simple: rather than take the time to pull your handgun, secure your stance, fire, move aside, fire through the driver's window, just do this: take that time to simply step aside.
I think the personality of the cop may be the key to what happened.
Possibly, but I know there will be rogue agents just as their are rogue cops. There will always be bad apples.
What bothers me (and should bother everyone) is that this corrupt administration is engaging in blatant / absurd levels of propaganda. And, worse, even in this tragic and senseless killing of a citizen, Trump supporters are blindly repeating this sick bullshit.
of course
I agree with everything you said. One thing that may not emerge is the impact politicians had on this tragedy. Promoting more than peaceful protest by their words and actions( not arresting and charging those that go beyond peaceful protest) can embolden people to do things they ordinarily would not.
There is enough information out there for people to believe whatever they want to believe, including what she and he were thinking at the time of the incident. But lets face it I believe I have not seen a politician actually say we should wait for the facts, every one of them has already made up their mind and instead of trying to slow the simmer they have all turned up the heat more. And their minions just follow along.
The reason Renee Good and people like her are getting involved is because ICE is on residential streets harassing people and disrupting the peace of the community. People dont like that. I dont understand what part of that the right doesnt get.
What's the reason that ICE are on residential streets again?
Do you think people are going to stop being agitated by the presence of camouflaged uniform masked agents on their neighborhood streets? The only direction all this can go is WORSE.
They need a new plan and system for finding the deportables. And forget about deporting all of them, it will never happen.
This is on video. What facts are you waiting for?
The agent was clearly not in fear of imminent death and that is the only exception to the rule of 'do not fire on a moving vehicle'. If he thought so, he could have simply stepped further away from the vehicle.
Instead, he used his time to pull his firearm, ready his position, fire into the corner of the windshield, reposition and then fire into the driver's window.
He chose to kill this woman rather than follow protocol and step aside. I do not care if this is a result of past trauma or because the guy is just a loose cannon, he was not in imminent danger of death as evidenced by the indisputable fact that he had time to kill this woman and that afterwards, he walked down to inspect his kill and then walk back. Obviously unharmed.
The corrupt Trump administration is spreading outrageous propaganda, and this is being parroted by 'useful' people.
You're evading the question, let me phrase it more specifically. What is the reason for the surge in ICE actions across the US?
I didnt know whether it was bodycam or the cell phone he was holding but now it has been confirmed it was his personal cell phone.
It doesnt matter what the reason is.. ICE wants to take thousands or millions of people out of neighborhoods where they are established members of the community. The government needs a new plan.
Yep. If he had been hit by the car he would have been thrown off balance and he wouldnt have had time to shoot her before she got away.
Trump wants people to die. There's no down-side, from his POV.
Exactly.
As long as they are peacefully demonstrating that is fine. Once the get to trying and interfere with the lawful action of law enforcement they should be arrested and held accountable.
While I don't agree with the actions of ICE to my knowledge they are not breaking the law looking for any illegals.
Being agitated does not give anyone the right to break the law. I don't know why the left, especially the political reps don't get that. By not trying to get the simmer down they are only going to increase the probability of something bad happening. It almost seems like that is what some of them want.
Yeah John - their "new" plan is to follow Federal Regulations/Policies/Procedures established by authorization of the U.S.Constitution for immigration.
Simply put - ILLEGAL ALIENS go home - period. You won't do it on your own? Fine - we'll help you follow the laws established by our government.
Your issue with that is what???
It's very obvious that you've never had any law enforcement training because you are, indeed, trained in how to use your weapons in all types of situations - including being off balance when the need to use your weapon comes up.
That is exactly what they want. These protestors are being paid to protest and disrupt the legal activities of ICE.
It looked like his cell phone to me. Also, note that his cell phone was in his left hand and thus does not properly indicate his body position. (Not that it matters anyway since he had plenty of time to step aside if he felt the need to do so.)
I do not believe he could have been hit by a car and be shooting a half second later. Call me picky.
Do you think this cell phone video proves he was hit?
It does however prove she was trying to not hit him.
If you were this agent, would you have taken your time to step aside (assuming you needed to do so) or would you have taken your time to pull your gun, ready your aim, fire, step aside, fire again into the driver's window?
Especially since a trained agent knows that they are NOT to fire at a moving vehicle except for fear of imminent death.
Since this officer had plenty of time to just step aside and even without doing so he still was unharmed, how can any rational person think this guy was in a situation of imminent death?
Would you?
Would you kill (against protocol) or simply step aside (protocol)?
So why does that matter?
But it's the reason for the season...
Why did he have a cell phone in one hand and a gun in the other? Maybe Sean Hannity will ask Trump that.
Sure seems that way. What is a few lives if it helps you gain a few political points?
How exactly do you know this?
You do know that it is very natural for citizens of this nation to voluntarily protest what they believe is a wrong doing. Why do you presume they are paid? Simply because Trump says so?
Do you understand the difference between being agitated and going after law enforcement carrying out their legal orders?
Maybe the politicians should tell people to stand down with the shenanigans and stick to peaceful protests
I also wish they would be pickier about who they go after but it is what it is and it is legal.
OMG TiG - since when have you become the arbitrar as to what a person is/was thinking when they acted?
"Used his time"?????? Yeah, he used his time to save himself from a body injury similar to what he encountered 6 months ago when ANOTHER protestor dragged him for over 300 feet with their vehicle resulting in sever body injury with over 33 stitches of damage. There is ample video footage showing the total opposite of your surmise.
Unless you're "the Great Carnac" or you are visiting the individual's brain, there is absolutely no way you can make the statements of him PLANNING to shoot that woman who threatened his life in a Honda SUV.
BTW, this is not a Biden thing - "corruption" is/was their key activity. These protestors are being paid to disrupt the ICE operations, and the rumors have it that she was the paid leader for using their vehicles to block the ICE operations. It ain't the Repubs who are doing this.
Report claims far-left groups are behind the funding of anti-ICE protests in Minnesota

Masked agitator tells Laura Ingraham she’s 'getting paid right now' at anti-ICE protest
These are paid protestors in Minnesota.
Man - I'd like to see that body cam video - got a link???
You're serious??? This is the body cam you are touting as showing the officer's malfeasance?
John - this video was taken by an officer 1/2 to one block from where the incident occurred. If you'll look at the massive amounts of other video shots, you'll see that this is her first incident of driving "into" an ICE agent - that's why his camera positioning shifted so radically and he was probably on his phone making other agents aware of a
non-complier".
Please don't attempt to use this video as "evidence" - for the incident of her being shot, go to more accurate sources.
Thanks for the link though.
you need to calm down and think through what you are saying. The video was taken by the shooters cellphone at the scene. This is not in dispute.
I never said this video proves he is guilty. I said it doesnt prove he is innocent.
This is not about me, focus on the content.
It does not matter what happened to him in the past. He had plenty of time to ensure he was out of the way of her path. The point, which you continue to ignore, is that he chose instead to pull his weapon, ready his aim, fire, reposition to the side and fire again at point-blank through the driver's window.
And note that even with all that activity, while continuing to hold his cell phone, he was indeed free of her path. He was unharmed and thus clearly was not in imminent danger to his life.
And he is not supposed to fire on a vehicle in the first place.
This does not require reading anyone's mind, just a basic review of the videos.
Cut the bullshit, the deflection, and the tactics and stop trying to defend this corrupt administration by parroting their lies.
This guy unnecessarily killed a human being who was demonstrably no threat to his life.
Step one, stop following Fox News. They have long since given up on trying to be fair and balanced.
Step two, if there are some paid protesters that does not in any way mean that most (and certainly not all) are.
It is normal in our country for people to voluntarily engage in peaceful protest.
Why would we imagine that to be the complete set of information?
A full investigation will determine if that's actually what happened.
I think that's the clearest element of the entire situation.
There has been plenty of destructive and inflammatory rhetoric on both sides of the immigration issue.
A full investigation and a completed trial will determine the legal, binding truth. In the meantime, we discuss and debate based on the available evidence (which is now substantial).
We have substantial evidence to draw the clear conclusion that the agent had no reasonable fear of imminent death or serious physical injury and thus violated protocol firing on a moving vehicle.
Easy to read summary:
More official:
Immigration agents/officers (as with police officers) operate within a framework of rules.
I included the vehicular pursuit part because it is the proper protocol in this situation. It is not protocol to fire on a moving vehicle; the protocol is to pursue it.
They scrubbed that scene as fast as they could, and Minnesota is being blocked from examining evidence. There will be no investigation.
Seems to be the case. The DoJ will likely make this go away with a sham 'investigation' (the PotUS and Secretary of Homeland security have already established their positions and they are both outrageous lies and that is going to be the corrupt government's position) without a trial and use the Supremacy Clause to prevent Minnesota from pursuing justice.
The lies progressive leaders speak voiumes. They have to lie keep up the narrative.
Dan Goldman: "It was very clear that [Good] was following the orders of the ICE agent to leave."
The orders of the ICE agent: "Get out of the car. Get out of the f*cking car. Get out of the car."
if the facts were on their side, why are the lying? everyone who resorts to lying about the clear instructions she was given is doing so becuase they know they can’t argue the facts honestly.
