"O'Hara said he has watched clips of the incident and come away asking why the officer was in front of Good's SUV right before the shooting. It's not clear to me why he appears to be in the path of the vehicle more than once, O'Hara said. When you approach someone in a vehicle in a law enforcement encounter, there are very basic steps you take to ensure the officer's safety and de-escalate the situation."
"Vega then said Vice President JD Vance put the blame for the shooting squarely on Good the day after the attack. She also said Homeland Security officials accused Good and her partner of stalking immigration officers; Vega did not mention DHS shared footage last week of Good blocking traffic for three minutes with her vehicle before agents approached her. CBS News reported this week the ICE agent Jonathan Ross suffered internal bleeding after being struck by Good's vehicle right before he opened fire."
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara questioned the actions of an ICE agent who shot and killed protester Renee Good, noting the agent appeared to be in the path of Good's SUV multiple times before the shooting. O'Hara raised concerns that the agent violated basic vehicle-approach steps meant to ensure officer safety and de-escalate encounters. Homeland Security shared footage showing Good blocking traffic for three minutes before agents approached her, and reports indicate ICE agent Jonathan Ross suffered internal bleeding after being struck by the vehicle. O'Hara supported targeted operations on violent offenders but warned of a disconnect between policy and street realities.
