"Two more officers pull up in a truck, exit their vehicle, and approach Good's. One of the officers from the truck attempts to open Good's driver-side door. Good reverses briefly, then accelerates forward toward the officer in front, but while attempting to turn down the road. That officer fires several shots. Good's car goes screaming ahead and slams into another one parked on the side of the road."
"One, Good's behavior does not appear defensible. If a law enforcement officer asks you to exit your vehicle, you should comply with immediate effect. Should you refuse and Good's hesitance is perhaps understandable, though not excusable, given the aggressive approach of the officer who pulled on her door you should under no circumstances attempt to flee the scene, especially if said flight requires you put your foot on the gas of a large SUV and accelerate in the direction of an officer."
Renee Good, 37, died after a confrontation with ICE officers in Minneapolis. Videos show her stationary in the middle of the road while an ICE officer walked around her car and additional officers arrived in a truck. An officer from the truck attempted to open Good's driver-side door. Good reversed briefly then accelerated forward toward an officer while attempting to turn; an officer fired several shots and Good's car struck a parked vehicle. Observers saw either murder or self-defense. Failure to comply and accelerating toward an officer escalates risk. A full, fair investigation is necessary to determine culpability.
