That's fine, dude. In her final seconds alive, Renee Good can be heard telling ICE agent Jonathan Ross that she has no issues with him as he walks around her car stopped in the street. ICE says Good and her wife. It'll be the same when you come talk to us later. We're closely following an operation. Ross has no body cam. He's using his cell phone here. Good's wife says this, "Go get yourself some lunch, big boy," before another agent yells for Good to get out of the car. Her wife then yells at her to go. Ross is now in front of the car as Good reverses, then drives forward. Gunfire is heard. Good's car then crashes into two others that are parked. She later dies.
It's still not clear whether or not he had time to get out of the way or simply, you know, resort to lethal force. Dr. Alex Do Carmen is a federal law enforcement consultant who has trained agents at the FBI. The DHS policy on shooting and moving vehicle, they, they say do not do that. Unless there is a circumstance that the vehicle has been weaponized, I'm not sure it gives us the answer that everyone's looking for here.
In another video, Ross is seen firing two additional shots from the side of Good's car. "From a, from a tactical perspective, it's a really bad idea to do that. So that bullet could have easily ended up in another agent's body or an innocent bystander's body." Yeah, I think there's some issues with that. That's fair. Former Arlington Assistant Police Chief James Hawthorne agrees, but wants more context. Vice President JD Vance says the video proves that Ross's life was endangered, and he fired his gun in self-defense. An investigation could ultimately decide that once it's complete, but it's going to boil down to were his actions reasonable under the circumstances.
