There is another video which has been going around, allegedly taken by the killer himself, showing Renee Good’s wife verbally challenging ICE officers at a distance, but she had no weapon. Good was ordered to move her car by one officer and get out of the car by another. As Jeffrey St Clair of CounterPunch said, “These contradictory instructions are a frequent tactic, since, however you respond, you violate one of the orders, and offer an excuse for escalation.”

As Good tried to comply with the one order to move, she was shot in the face and head several times by ICE officer Jonathan Ross. Before she was murdered, Good can be heard saying “that’s ok dude, I’m not mad at you.” Seconds later, Ross fired directly into the car from the drivers side window and through the windshield. After that, Ross could be heard saying “fucking bitch” as Good’s car sped uncontrollably into an electrical pole.

At no point was Good’s car facing any ICE officer. In fact, it was pointed away from them as she attempted to follow orders to move the car. She likely panicked when one of the officers lunged at her through the car window.

But it appears that these ICE thugs did not like being challenged. They especially did not like being challenged by two women. But the challenge was no threat to anyone’s life. There was no reason or justification for using deadly force. None.

Anyone telling you otherwise is lying. They are repeating the regime’s lies about “domestic terrorism” because it justifies an immoral narrative about power always being in the right. And they will use this justification every single time they kill in the future.

Just as we have seen in the genocide in Gaza, there will always be a rationalization for brutality. There will always be an officer, or a soldier, or a settler who “feared for their life” when they use deadly force against unarmed people who dare to speak out or to peacefully protest or obstruct an injustice.
