"Asked by CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union," why she didn't wait for an investigation, Noem claimed "everything that I've said has been proven to be factual, and the truth." Tapper disputed Noem's account, relaying her Jan. 7 claim that Good "attacked them and those surrounding them and attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle" as they were "attempting to push out their vehicle" from the snow. Noem shot back, "It absolutely is what happened.""
"Even a video DHS reposted from conservative outlet Alpha News that shows the shooting from Ross' perspective appears to undermine the administration's narrative. "That's fine dude. I'm not mad at you," Good says from behind the wheel of her car, which was parked perpendicular to the road, partially blocking traffic. Ross, trailed by Good's wife who was also filming, makes his way around the car toward the driver's side."
State investigators say they were blocked from case materials and scene evidence, and the administration now controls the probe into the shooting. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and other officials defended the agent and claimed videos support that the agent acted in self-defense. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called that characterization a "garbage narrative." Media outlets identified the shooter as Jonathan Ross. Video analysis from multiple angles shows Good waving vehicles past her, agents leaving a stopped vehicle, and no apparent effort to push a stuck car, contradicting the officials' account.
