Episode notes
Video Contradicts Official Narrative
- New video shows Renee Good never blocked traffic and the ICE agent was not struck by her vehicle.
- That footage undermines the government's early narrative and self-defense claims.
Agent's Position Raises Legal Questions
- The ICE agent positioned himself in front of the vehicle and fired multiple shots through the side window.
- Those second and third shots are difficult to justify even under a self-defense claim.
Post-Shooting Conduct Suggests Indifference
- After the shooting the agents left the scene and impeded aid, delaying ambulance access.
- The lack of attempted first aid and celebratory gestures suggests indifference rather than an urgent law-enforcement response.
