Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis

An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

This 4-minute video posted this morning by the NY Times is the best frame by frame documentation of the shooting I have seen, combining the various witness videos that are out there for a complete picture of what happened.

It also shows the shooter, immediately before opening fire, walking (not running) from behind the victim's vehicle and walking all the way around the victim's vehicle filming it with his cell phone...not something someone fearing for their life would be doing. I had not seen that before in the videos posted to date.

Highly recommend everyone see this, although it has very graphic images, including the victim slumped in her car.

On Wednesday in Minneapolis, a federal agent fatally shot a motorist, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. Trump administration officials said these were “defensive shots” fired because the officer was being run over. But our analysis of bystander footage, filmed from different angles, appears to show the agent was not in the path of the victim’s SUV when he fired three shots at close range. Here’s how events unfolded. Moments before the shooting, the victim’s maroon SUV is stopped in the middle of the street. Multiple unmarked federal vehicles are idling nearby. Secretary Noem alleged the motorist “was blocking the officers in.” Bystanders are blowing whistles and yelling at federal agents. Then, federal vehicles start moving toward the maroon SUV with sirens and lights blaring. A federal agent films the scene on his phone. The driver rolls forward slightly, turning left, then stops and waves for others to go ahead. Two agents exit this silver pickup and walk toward the vehicle. Moments later, shots are fired. Let’s look at the scene again more closely. This is the agent who shoots the driver. He walks around the car filming and disappears from view. Other agents pull up and order the driver to exit her vehicle. One of them grabs at the door handle and reaches inside. The SUV reverses, then turns right, apparently attempting to leave. At the same time, the agent filming crosses toward the left of the vehicle and grabs his gun. He opens fire on the motorist and continues shooting as she drives past. The moment the agent fires, he is standing here to the left of the SUV and the wheels are pointing to the right away from the agent. This appears to conflict with allegations that the SUV was ramming or about to ram the officer. President Trump and others said the federal agent was hit by the SUV, often pointing to another video filmed from a different angle. And it’s true that at this moment, in this grainy, low-resolution footage, it does look like the agent is being struck by the SUV. But when we synchronize it with the first clip, we can see the agent is not being run over. In fact, his feet are positioned away from the SUV. The SUV crashes into a white car parked down the road. A bystander runs toward the collision. The federal agents on scene do not appear to rush to provide emergency medical care. Eventually, the agent who shot the motorist approaches the vehicle. Seconds later, he turns back around and tells his colleagues to call 911. Agents blocked several bystanders who attempt to provide medical care, including one who identifies himself as a physician. At the same time, several agents, including the agent who opened fire, get in their vehicles and drive off, apparently altering the active crime scene.

8. Ah, didn't notice that at the bottom of the article. Is Devon Lim the person (real journalist) narrating?

The other two names on the byline are female, so the male voice narrating the video is Lim's? Want to give him credit if it is.

2. Thanks for posting that series of videos.

[Katinfl]

4. Thanks for posting.

This by far the best account of the murder.

7. Who in this era would have ever thought that an organization like the NYT still has a journalist they have not fired

9. The thug reached around to fire

He did that deliberately that was them putting themselves into risk ny crowding her vehicle. And because the likely aren't coordinated with actual police she would have "escaped" in their feble minds. We are still only finishing year one of this misadministration.

[SunSeeker]

10. Yup, he shot her because she was trying to leave. Totally illegal per the Supreme Court and ICE policy. nt

[Fil1957]

11. Those are facts, they don't care about facts. They just make up their own and Maga goes along with it.

[MaineNative]

12. She was waving ICE through......

WTF!

[SunSeeker]

13. Exactly. She wasn't blocking anything. nt

[Bengus81]

14. They claimed over and over how that poor injured agent of DEATH was taken to the hospital

Yeah...well get the hell over there and get his name and information IF he was really there.

[FakeNoose]

15. The ICE agents failed to show IDs, wearing masks, and screaming at her to "exit the vehicle"

I swear I would have done the same thing ... I would have turned around and left in the fastest way possible. For certain I wouldn't have opened the door and gotten out of my car, especially with a child in the car.

Those ICE agents, especially the shooter but really all of them, are clearly at fault on this. The shooter is guilty of 1st degree murder.

Have we even been told the reason for the roadblock? There was no reason for ICE to even be on that street, they weren't arresting illegal immigrants anywhere that I've heard.

How do they justify this? They can't!

[SunSeeker]

20. Of course they can't justify it. That is why they are lying about it. nt

[The Grand Illuminist]

16. Arm the protesters.

No one has to like it or approve, myself included. We have no choice.

[FakeNoose]

23. Chump is hoping for exactly that ... somebody would be shot for sure ...

... then he declares martial law, which is what he is itching to do.

We can't risk martial law for 2 important reasons:
(1) for the safety of our citizens and
(2) it gives Chump the ability to "cancel" the midterm elections.

[The Grand Illuminist]

24. Though I am not one of them because of your good points.

There are growing silent numbers who firmly believe it is worth the sacrifice.

[Martin68]

17. Murder, pure and simple. But what are the chances that th officers involved will be indicted?

[Blackjackdavey]

18. At the moment

I'd put it close to 100%

[brer cat]

19. Good coverage. K&R

[questionseverything]

21. This set of videos confirm the "officer" was not hit by the car

And even shows the deceitful clip being shown that supposedly shows the hit… it never happened

Du members ( well meaning people ) were arguing yesterday about wether the murderer was hit or not

[SunSeeker]

22. Yes, even well meaning people can fall to propaganda. nt

25. Bookmarking - very helpful!

Thank you!

26. Lawrence O'Donnell has been using this NYT analysis on his show.

It really is the best that's out there right now. By the way, the person in the white beanie and plaid shirt following and filming the shooter around the victim's car is the victim's wife. You see her running towards the victim's car after Good is shot and crashes, while the shooter goes over to the crashed car with a slow saunter. He really didn't give a shit.
