Before we get to the video I posted below, a disclaimer: the video shows someone getting shot and killed by police and if you are sensitive to observing videotaped real world violence, do not proceed.

I have watched the video about 5 times and I am still trying to process what occurred. I am not particularly interested in the politics at play here, but more in why this situation escalated as it did, and can we learn something about de-escalation of these kinds of situations. I think both sides in this video may have overreacted and escalated rather than de-escalated the situation.

I have had plenty of interactions with the police in the United States, in many different states and many different roadways. In some the cops behaved very aggressively. In none of them, however, did the cop try to force his or her way into my car without first having a conversation. It's not clear to me from the video if the non-shooting ICE agent identified themselves as such, or if they did, why it was necessary to try to pull open the door of the SUV. I believe this action spooked the driver. If I didn't know it was law enforcement, or wasn't sure, I would also have tried to drive off. Even the ICE agent shouted an identification, it's not clear why it was necessary to try to pull open the car door, as opposed to having a conversation.

I was once in a potentially explosive situation where a client, who was on probation for a crime I had represented him on, was about to get into a physical altercation with another person, in a parking lot of a sporting facility. The client was drunk. He had been told I was at the facility and sought me out for advice. As I took the client to my car to drive him home, a careless man backing out of a space at high speed almost hit my client. This led to the altercation. The motorist got out of his car and was breathing fire and so was my client. As the two men advanced towards each other in a fighting posture, I made a fateful decision to get between the two hotheads, facing the hothead motorist and with my back to my hothead client. I did this because my instinct at the moment was that if I let the client get into a physical fight in my presence, it was going to be a violation of his probation and he was going to jail. I couldn't let it happen on my watch.

I defused the situation and no fight happened. I used a calm and even tone of voice with the motorist and told him the other man was my client and I was apologizing for his words and actions. I then told my client to shut up. He did. Everyone took a deep breath. The motorist got in his car and drove off. I drove my client to his home, as he was in no condition to drive. We talked about what happened and how he could have violated his probation. Anyway, my point is more can be accomplished by de-escalation of a bad situation than by escalation of a bad situation.

Eager, you make it sound like the woman who was killed was just an innocent bystander whose car happened to get caught in a traffic jam. In fact, she and her "wife" were part of a a far left, anti-IC activist group whose mission is to harass, dox, annoy and stop federal law enforcement authorities from completing their duties.

The woman and her "wife" had spent the morning trying block the cars of ICE agents. They disobeyed orders to stop. The driver disobeyed orders to get out of the car so that an officer could move it. Then she attempted to drive away even though an officer was standing right in front of the car. So she had repeatedly and intentionally disobeyed orders from officers of the law and she suffered a tragic consequence. I am absolutely certain of one thing: when you intentionally harass a police officer and try to stop him from doing his job, the consequences can be truly awful. If an officer tells you to move your car or get out of your car, DO IT!

As this article from the NYP describes, the woman and her "wife" were leftist agitators who apparently did not have jobs and who neglected their children to carry on their misguided mission. Clearly they both suffered from extreme cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome. I won't say that the woman deserved to get shot but I will say that her own deliberate actions led to her tragically losing her life.

Exclusive | Renee Nicole Good was Minneapolis ‘ICE Watch’ ‘warrior’ who trained to resist feds before shooting

MINNEAPOLIS — Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.

Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.

“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a growing vigil where Good was killed Wednesday.

“I know she was doing the right thing. I watched the video plenty of times but I also know in my heart the woman she was, she was doing everything right.”

Good and her wife, Rebecca, 40, were raising the boy together in the mostly working-class, activist-heavy neighborhood of south Minneapolis, which features tree-lined streets and a large number of homes with windows decked out in LGBTQ+ flags or signs depicting George Floyd.

Just as many others did in the lefty enclave, Good sent her son to Southside Family Charter School, a K-5 academy opened in 1972 that from its inception has been “unabashedly dedicated to social justice education,” according to co-founder Susie Oppenheim.

It was through her involvement in the school community that Good became involved in “ICE Watch” — a loose coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids in the sanctuary city.

“From my understanding, she was involved in social justice … we are a tight-knit community and a lot of parents are [activists],” former Southside gym teacher Rashad Rich, who resigned from the school last month, told The Post.

He said current event topics like the killing of George Floyd were regular parts of the curriculum, and that last month students took a field trip where they learned about “aboriginal issues” — a reference to the indigenous people of far-away Australia.

Coalitions similar to ICE Watch have cropped up all over the country — with activists using phone apps, whistles and car horns to warn neighborhoods when ICE shows up.

ICE Watch and adjacent groups can also turn confrontational — with numerous instances of activists ramming agents with their cars in the past.

“[Renee Good] was trained against these ICE agents — what to do, what not to do, it’s a very thorough training,” Leesa said.

“To listen to commands, to know your rights, to whistle when you see an ICE agent,” she added.

The group started out as a very loose confederation of anti-ICE activists, but has recently aligned itself with more radical organizations including Twin Cities Ungovernables.

ICE Watch recently shared an Instagram post of the group’s that encouraged agitators to bring items that would help them barricade the streets around where the shooting took place, even urging people to bring things to burn, such as dried-up Christmas trees.

This call for aggressive and even violent resistance comes as ICE agents have faced an unprecedented spike in car attacks, surging by some 3,200% over the last year, shocking data released by the Department of Homeland Security revealed to The Post.

Federal officials said violent “radical rhetoric from sanctuary politicians” is to blame for vehicular attacks against ICE agents skyrocketing between Jan. 21, 2025, and Jan. 7, 2026 — 66 attacks were recorded during that period compared to just two the year before.

In October, US Border Patrol agents shot an armed woman in Chicago who attempted to run over agents with her car after a group of activists “boxed in” agents with 10 cars.

Last month, a federal judge dropped the charges against the woman, Marimar Martinez, who survived the shooting.

Good, a 37-year-old stay-at-home mother of three who dabbled in poetry, was shot in the head and killed as she sped her SUV in the direction of two immigration officers who were conducting an enforcement operation just south of the city’s central business district.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said the shooting, which remains under investigation, was an act of self-defense and that the Goods had been “stalking and harassing” ICE agents in Minneapolis throughout the day.

County worker Kristin Peter, 30, who was also at the vigil, said Good was on the same ICE Watch team as one of her co-workers, and that she herself was attending a meeting of the group Thursday night.

“They were on the same team, they would eat meals together,” she said as she waved a lit bundle of sage at the memorial site.

School friend Leesa said a lot of families associated with the school live in the area where Good was killed.

On Thursday, the streets of the neighborhood were lined with heart-shaped signs featuring quotes by Assata Shakur, a radical black liberation activist who fled to Cuba in the 1970s after being convicted of murdering a New Jersey state trooper.

Floyd was killed in 2020 less than a mile from Wednesday’s ICE shooting.

According to the Southside Family Charter School’s website, it provides “an academically challenging, socially conscious education to diverse learners,” and declares it’s “proud” to offer what it calls a “social justice curriculum.”

A photo from its Facebook page shows a dry-erase board of students’ “hopes and dreams” for the future, which include “Donald Trump’s heart grows 3x as big.”

The Goods had no love lost for President Trump themselves, leaving their Kansas City, Missouri, neighborhood for Canada after the 2024 election with plans to leave the country for good.

They lived in the Great White North for a few months before settling in Minneapolis, a former neighbor told KMBC.

Rebecca, who was confronting ICE agents outside the SUV at the time of the shooting, was filmed sobbing “it’s my fault” after the shots rang out and she realized Renee had been struck.

“I made her come down here, it’s my fault,” she said, her face covered in blood after rushing to her partner’s aid.

“They shot her in the head. I have a 6-year-old in school,” she said.

Anyone who thinks this woman was a threat that deserved to be killed - after watching this video, needs some sort of psychological help.

In the above new vid from the Federal agent it shows Both Renee and the wife women talking sassy with the Federal officer and Renee hits the gas as her wife was trying to get in the car before she hit the Federal officer. She basically Ditched the wife bwahahah really she was getting out of the area but forgot her wife? Why was the wife out of the car if they were just leaving? Crazy women stuff. Not justification of being shot but why push it so far into madness. Renee was not scared yea the look on her face was sassy and confident they knew exactly what they were doing. Now there will protests all weekend get the popcorn out. Interesting from the new video we can identify the stickers and associated organizations. JDVance is on it for sure. Funny but it looks like that video was taken down a few times hehe the narrative is getting lost.

TDS should be used to describe Trump supporters. They're the ones with minds deranged by Trump. If you're not criticising Trump and his gestapo goons, there's something wrong with you.

If I were approached by masked men claiming to be law enforcement and trying to abduct me, I'd probably do the same as Renee. Murica's fucked.

Apparently you didn't see the same videos that millions of men and women saw !
The acts that the woman did earlier that day made her deserve to be shot 3 times and killed like a mad dog ?

The woman and her "wife" had spent the morning trying block the cars of ICE agents. They disobeyed orders to stop. The driver disobeyed orders to get out of the car so that an officer could move it.

I limited my comments to what I saw in the video. I don't know what came before it although I think it's clear that the woman who was shot was an agitator of some kind.

I did not hear what was ordered but the order you mention makes no sense. You order someone to move their vehicle, you don't order someone to get out of their car so they can move your vehicle. They have no more right to operate her vehicle than you do to operate mine. They can, however, order her to move her vehicle. It would make sense to me that after the agent tried to open her car door and assuming that she knew it was an ICE agent, that belatedly she tried to comply with the order. It did appear that she was turning right and not trying to hit the ICE agent who fired the fatal shots.

Shooting her accomplished absolutely nothing. It doesn't stop the vehicle from moving forward. That much is clear because the vehicle continued forward at high speed and rammed another car. What might have stopped the vehicle was shooting the tires flat. But this was not the action taken.

I am not as much interested in the politics of the situation as what was done to de-escalate the situation. My opinion is the ICE agents overreacted and this death was unnecessary. At most the tires should have been shot and the woman arrested for hindering a law enforcement investigation. She didn't deserve to be shot to death.
