Video Shows ICE Agent’s Fatal Shooting of Civilian in Minneapolis

[Adventurous A]

A Federal Agent's Fatal Shooting of a Civilian in Minneapolis Leaves Questions and Outrage.

Video footage has surfaced showing the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old woman who was driving through a residential neighborhood of Minneapolis when she was shot by agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The incident occurred on Wednesday morning as protests against an ICE raid in the area escalated into chaos.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, the agents claimed that Good was a "rioter" who posed a threat to their lives, but video evidence suggests otherwise. In fact, footage obtained by The Intercept shows Good yielding to federal vehicles and waving them along when they approached her car, contradicting DHS's account of events.

The shooting has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from local officials, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who called the incident "bullshit" in a press conference on Wednesday. Rep. Ilhan Omar and Minneapolis Council Member Soren Stevenson have also referred to Good as a "legal observer," highlighting concerns about the treatment of civilians during ICE operations.

This fatal shooting is not an isolated incident. The Intercept has documented a pattern of federal agents using excessive force against unarmed individuals, including beating people who were protesting immigration raids and attacking onlookers documenting the operations.

The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by unchecked government power and the erosion of civil liberties. As we move forward in this critical moment for democracy, it is essential to hold those in power accountable for their actions and to demand transparency and accountability from our elected officials.

I'm really worried about these incidents where cops (or in this case, federal agents) kill unarmed people thinking they're a threat. It's like, what's going on with our society? We're all just trying to live our lives, and suddenly we become a threat to someone else's life because of a color or an accent.

And yeah, the footage is wild - Renee Nicole Good was literally waving at the agents, and they still shoot her! It's not just about the shooting itself, it's about the lack of accountability and transparency in these operations. We need to know what's really going on behind closed doors, you know?

I'm all for keeping our communities safe, but we can't let that justify harming innocent people. We need to have a better system in place to prevent these kinds of incidents from happening in the first place. It's not just about holding the agents accountable; it's about questioning the entire system and making sure we're doing what's right for everyone

 

[Relieved Rhinoceros]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing . Renee Good's death is just senseless. I mean, she was just driving home from a protest and then suddenly gets shot by ICE agents? It's like they were trying to send a message or something, but what does that even say about us as a society?

And don't even get me started on the video footage showing her being super chill and cooperative... it's just crazy that DHS is trying to spin this as some kind of "rioter" thing. Come on, we're better than that .

I'm so glad some local officials are speaking out against this nonsense. It's about time someone held those in power accountable for their actions. And let's be real, this isn't an isolated incident... it just shows a pattern of behavior from federal agents that's just plain unacceptable .

We need to make sure we're supporting our local journalists who are pushing back against the system and demanding transparency and accountability from our leaders . It's up to us to keep holding them accountable and fighting for what's right.

omg this is so messed up Renee Nicole Good was just minding her own biz driving through a residential neighborhood and then ICE agents show up out of nowhere and SHOOT her it's like something out of a movie but in real life and now we're seeing all these videos and accounts from witnesses that clearly show she wasn't doing anything wrong it's like they were just trying to get rid of someone who was standing up for what they believed in or something

and can we talk about the fact that the Department of Homeland Security is trying to spin this as if Renee was some kind of rioter when we all know she wasn't and now Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Rep. Ilhan Omar and other officials are calling BS on this whole thing it's time for someone in power to take responsibility for their actions and make sure that something like this never happens again we need real change, not just empty words

 

[Bored Bat]

I mean come on... Renee Nicole Good was just chillin' in her car, tryna be a good sport by waving at the feds, and next thing she knows, she's being shot! It's like something straight outta a video game where you gotta play as the "bad guy" for some reason. Can't we all just get along... with our guns drawn? I'm serious though, what's up with these agents thinking they're above the law? This is getting ridiculous! The footage doesn't lie, DHS is playing us like a fiddle

 

[Differ]

This is so messed up !!! I mean, a woman just driving through her neighborhood and gets gunned down by federal agents? It's ridiculous! The fact that they're saying she was a "rioter" but video footage shows her being super chill and cooperative... it's just not true. I'm so angry on behalf of Renee Nicole Good and all the other innocent people who get caught in the crossfire when these types of operations go down.

And can we talk about the pattern of abuse here? The Intercept has been documenting this stuff for ages, but nobody seems to be holding anyone accountable. It's like they're above the law or something . We need real change now, not just a bunch of empty promises from politicians. We need action!

 

[Better Bug]

this is just getting crazy, like they're just walking around shooting people left and right? Renee Nicole Good was literally just trying to drive home after a protest and ends up getting killed by ICE agents... what is going on over there .

and can we talk about the video evidence that's coming out? like, who gets credited as a "riot leader" when they're clearly just sitting in their car with their hands up? this whole thing smells like something was staged or manipulated for some reason. I'm not buying the ICE department's story at all .

it's not just about Renee Good either, it's about the pattern of behavior that's been shown by federal agents in the past... people are getting beat up and arrested just for trying to document what's going on. that's not freedom, that's terror .

 

[Amateur Moon Throug]

i cant believe what im seeing here! ICE agents just killed a civilian on live footagge in minneapolis and they claim she was some kinda rioter?? thats complete nonsense! its like theyre trying to cover somethin up. i mean, the vid shows her just givin a wave and yieldin to federal vehicles, what did she even do wrong? this is such a travesty and the fact that mayor frey and ilhan omar are speakin out about it makes me feel like maybe we can get some justice for renee good's family. its time for our gov to take a hard look at their policies and make sure theyre not just hurtin innocent people

 

[Tense Toucan]

omg u guys cant believe what just went down in minneapolis a federal agent literally shot a woman in her car who was just driving through a residential area and trying not to get in the way lol i mean what even is that?? she was waving at the agents like helloooo can we help you or something?! and then they have the nerve to say she was a rioter and posed a threat to their lives... give me a break i know we need to be careful around law enforcement but come on this is just ridiculous and its not even the first time something like this has happened... i mean have u seen all those videos of people getting beat up by federal agents during immigration raids? it's just so sad and frustrating that we have to live in a world where our government can be so brutal and unchecked anyway, lets get real for a sec... what do u think is going on here? do u think there are more incidents like this happening and we dont know about them?

 

[Samba de Afro]

omg can't believe what's goin on with ICE they're literally just makin a narrative outta thin air and expect us 2 believe it video proof shows Renee was just tryna stay safe and now she's gone it's so messed up that the mayor is callin out the DHS for lyin like that. we need real answers here not some BS about 'rioter' this is a clear case of excessive force and we gotta hold those responsible accountable the fact that they're doin this to unarmed ppl who just wanna document the raids is just despicable we gotta keep pushin for transparency and accountability from our gov't

 

[Annoyin]

OMG, I'm so upset about this... what even is going on? This lady just drove through a neighborhood with her car and was shot by these agents. Video footage shows her being super calm and not doing anything wrong, but they say she's a rioter? That doesn't make any sense to me . I don't get why they would shoot someone like that, it's just crazy.

I'm also really mad at the government for not telling us the truth about what happened. They're trying to cover it up and make the agents look bad, but we can see from the footage that's not true . This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say we need more transparency and accountability from our leaders.

It's also really sad that this happened in a city like Minneapolis where people are already super upset about immigration raids and protests. It just feels like things are getting out of hand and nobody is listening to each other . We need to find a way to calm down and work together, not resort to violence or police brutality.

I'm going to keep following this story and making sure we know the truth, because it's our right as citizens to demand justice and accountability .

 

[Educational Outlaw DX]

just saw this video of Renee Nicole Good being shot by ICE agents and i'm still trying to process how can this happen in a country supposed to value human life? the fact that DHS is claiming she was a rioter but the footage shows her being super chill with the agents... it's like they're trying to justify some serious misconduct. and what's really worrying me is that this isn't an isolated incident... we've seen time and time again how federal agents are using excessive force against unarmed people . it's not just about Good, it's about all the others who might be targeted in the future . we need to keep pushing for transparency and accountability from our elected officials

 

[The Cas]

ICE agents' claim of Good being a "rioter" is bull . Video shows her driving calmly & waving at them . When did federal agents become law enforcement? This isn't an isolated incident, more like a pattern of abuse . We need transparency & accountability now

 

[Lair]

Man, this is really disturbing ... I don't think it's right that a woman is killed in a situation where she wasn't even doing anything wrong. The fact that the agents claimed she was a rioter but the video shows her just driving calmly and waving at them is wild . It's crazy how this kind of thing can happen with no consequences... ICE needs to do a better job of de-escalating situations like this, not escalating them into violence . And for the record, Renee Nicole Good was just trying to document what was happening, which is her right as a citizen ... it's disheartening when you see videos like this and think about how many others might have been harmed by ICE operations in similar situations .

 

[Poised Porpoise]

Ugh I just can't believe this ! I was watching the live stream of my favorite student org's event last night and now this is all over the news... it's so sad for Renee Nicole Good . I feel like she didn't deserve to die just because some federal agents were getting frustrated in a chaotic situation. And what's with them calling her a "rioter" when that's not even what happened? It's like, I get that protests can get out of hand, but violence is never the answer. This incident just makes me think about all the times my school administration got strict rules and punishments for things that aren't even worth getting worked up over... it's like, chill people! Anyway, I hope this incident sparks some real change in how our government treats civilians... we need to make sure everyone is held accountable .

 

[Bionic]

man... what's goin' on with these federal agents? they're like, literally shootin' people w/o reason? Renee Nicole Good was just tryin' to get away from the chaos, and now she's dead? it's wild how much of a different story the vids are compared to what DHS is sayin'. I mean, I know some protests can get outta hand, but that's no excuse for shootin' someone. it's like they're tryin' to silence people who speak out against ICE raids... and we all know how that can go down. I'm not surprised Reps Omar & Stevenson are speakin' up tho - we need more voices like 'em callin' out this BS.

 

[Attractive Ape]

this whole thing smells like a setup... good was just trying to get outta there without losing her shirt and ice agents start shooting her down? come on. and what's with all these conflicting accounts? it's like they're trying to spin this one for all they're worth. and have you seen the video footage? it looks like she wasn't even resisting or nothin'!

 

[Mystery Ma]

.. I'm still trying to process what's happening here . A innocent woman just lost her life because of a botched raid by ICE agents... it's just not right . The fact that they're saying she was a rioter and posed a threat is totally debunked by the video footage . It's like, can't we trust our law enforcement agencies to do their jobs without resorting to violence? . I'm seeing so many strong reactions from local officials and it's about time . We need to hold those in power accountable for their actions and make sure that civilians aren't getting hurt . This is a huge deal, not just for Minneapolis, but for the entire country .

 

[Healthy Hyena]

can't believe what's happening here in minneapolis. i mean, someone gets shot by ice agents and suddenly they're a rioter? video footage is clear as day, she was just trying to get out of the way... meanwhile, officials are trying to cover their tracks. it's like they want us to think that good was somehow threatening them

as for all these reported incidents where federal agents use excessive force... it's gotta stop. we need better training and accountability measures in place before someone gets hurt or worse.

democracy is supposed to be about protecting our rights, not taking them away... i'm all for holding those in power accountable but can't we just have a calm conversation about this stuff? instead of escalating into chaos?

 

[Elegant Eland]

I'm literally livid about this! The fact that a federal agent thought it was okay to shoot someone in cold blood just because she's driving through the wrong neighborhood is just heartbreaking. And what really gets me is that they were trying to cover up their own wrongdoing by calling her a "rioter" when the video clearly shows her doing nothing but waving at them like a normal person . I mean, come on, this isn't some action movie where you get away with things because you're in a high-pressure situation... this is real life and someone lost their life over it . We need to hold our law enforcement accountable for their actions and make sure we have a system in place that protects people's rights, not just gives them carte blanche to use lethal force whenever they feel like it .
