And as reported by The Washington Post, the agent was able to move out of the way and fire at least two of the three shots from the side of the vehicle as it veered past him."
"The administration is telling you that you didn't see that. They're saying you saw him respond to an act of domestic terrorism. They're telling you to believe them and not your eyes. Colbert framed the episode as a warning sign for the country under President Donald Trump, arguing that the federal response revealed something dangerous. The message from this administration is clear: only they determine the truth, and when their forces come to your city, obey or die,"
Video footage showed Renee Nicole Good appearing to turn away from a federal officer as a vehicle veered past, and a federal agent fired at least two of three shots. Officials described the agent's actions as self-defense, claiming Good attempted to roll over him. The administration characterized the incident as a response to domestic terrorism, urging belief of official accounts over eyewitness impressions. The federal response raised concerns about unaccountable armed agents acting with impunity. Viewers were urged to peacefully and nonviolently notify leaders of opposition to what was characterized as an 'obey or die' approach to power.
